The American Power Conversion (APC) Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a standalone, network-manageable power distribution device. The Rack PDU provides real-time remote monitoring of connected loads. User-defined alarms warn of potential circuit overloads. The Rack PDU provides for full control over outlets through remote commands and user interface settings. You can manage a Rack PDU through its Web interface, its command line interface (CLI), InfraStruxure Central, or Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
