Product Features
Technical Overview
This switched rack PDU operates on a 120V input and output circuit, supporting a 20-amp electrical service. Its 1.92 kVA power rating defines the total capacity available for connected devices. The unit features a single NEMA L5-20P input plug and distributes power through 24 individual NEMA 5-20R receptacles, each capable of delivering the standard 120V power.
Network connectivity and management are core to its design, allowing for remote monitoring, individual outlet control, power sequencing, and load scheduling. The integrated management system can monitor up to four PDUs from a single IP address, streamlining infrastructure oversight. Built to operate in elevated ambient temperatures up to 60°C (140°F), it ensures reliability in dense server deployments.

Key Product Advantages
Beyond basic power distribution, the AP8930 includes enhanced cybersecurity features. A one-year subscription to the APC Secure NMC System is included, helping to protect the network management card from unauthorized access and common network threats, a critical consideration for modern IT security postures.
Intelligent Power Management
Gain granular control and visibility over rack power with remote outlet switching, power-up sequencing, and scheduled load management. The system provides active measurement of key electrical parameters including current (amps), real power (kW), and energy consumption (kWh) for accurate capacity planning and billing.
Optimized Rack Deployment
The vertical, 0U tower form factor mounts efficiently on the side of a standard 19-inch rack, preserving valuable U space for servers and switches. This side-mount placement simplifies cable management and improves airflow within the rack enclosure.
Deployment / Use Cases
The AP8930 Switched Rack PDU is purpose-built for environments requiring reliable, managed power distribution for critical IT equipment. Its high outlet density and management capabilities make it an ideal solution for consolidating power feeds to servers, network switches, storage arrays, and telecom gear within a single rack.
Primary use cases include enterprise data center racks, network operations center (NOC) cabinets, server rooms in commercial buildings, and colocation facilities. The remote reboot functionality is particularly valuable for managing geographically dispersed or lights-out data centers, allowing IT staff to power cycle locked-up equipment without a physical visit. The ability to sequence power-up of devices helps prevent inrush current overloads during system restarts.
Data Center & Server Room Power
Deploy in standard 19-inch server racks to power and manage a full stack of equipment. The 24 outlets support high-density configurations, while remote management enables efficient operation and troubleshooting.
Network & Telecom Closets
Provide clean, managed power to network switches, routers, and patch panels. The vertical, side-mount design is perfect for tight telecom closets where front-rack space is at a premium.
Physical Profile
This PDU features a compact, vertical tower design with dimensions of 2.17" (55 mm) wide, 1.81" (46 mm) deep, and a height of 70.51" (1791 mm). It is engineered for vertical mounting on the side of a standard 19-inch equipment rack, occupying zero rack units (0U) of front-facing space. The unit has an approximate weight of 14.37 lb (6.52 kg), making it manageable for installation. A 9.5-foot (2.90-meter) power cord provides flexibility in connecting to the rack's primary power source.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the power capacity of the AP8930 PDU?
The APC AP8930 Switched Rack PDU has a power rating of 1.92 kVA (kilovolt-amperes). This rating indicates the total apparent power capacity available for all connected devices on the unit. It operates on a 120-volt circuit with a 20-amp input current, defining the maximum load it can support within its electrical specifications.
How many outlets does this PDU have and what type are they?
This switched rack PDU provides 24 power outlets. All outlets are of the NEMA 5-20R type, which is a standard 120-volt, 20-amp receptacle commonly used in North America for IT equipment. The unit has a single NEMA L5-20P input plug to connect to your rack's power source.
How is this PDU mounted in a server rack?
The AP8930 is designed as a vertical tower form factor for side-of-rack mounting. It occupies zero rack units (0U) of front-facing space, as it mounts vertically on the side posts of a standard 19-inch equipment rack. This mounting orientation preserves all front U space for servers, switches, and other gear while keeping power distribution accessible.
What remote management capabilities does this switched PDU offer?
As a switched PDU, the AP8930 enables remote monitoring and control via a network interface. You can individually power outlets on/off, sequence device power-up, schedule loads, and monitor real-time electrical data like current (amps), power (kW), and energy use (kWh). The management system allows you to control up to four such PDUs from a single IP address, simplifying infrastructure management.
Does this PDU include any cybersecurity features?
Yes, the AP8930 includes a one-year subscription to the APC Secure NMC (Network Management Card) System. This subscription provides enhanced security for the PDU's management interface, helping to protect against unauthorized access and common network-based threats.
