FAQ
What is the purpose of this automatic transfer switch?
The AP4432 automatic transfer switch provides automatic switching between two power sources to maintain continuous operation of connected equipment. When the primary power source fails or requires maintenance, the switch automatically transfers to the secondary source without interrupting power to your servers, networking gear, or other critical infrastructure.
How many devices can I connect to this switch?
This switch provides 18 outlets total: 16 IEC 60320 C13 outlets suitable for most servers, switches, and storage devices, plus 2 IEC 60320 C19 outlets designed for higher-power equipment. The 30A current rating supports multiple devices simultaneously while maintaining safe operating parameters.
What rack space does this switch require?
The AP4432 occupies 2U (3.46 inches or 88 mm) of vertical space in a standard 19-inch rack. The dimensions are 17.01" (432 mm) wide and 9.29" (236 mm) deep, making it compatible with most data center racks. The included mounting brackets and hardware facilitate secure installation.
What input power connection does this switch use?
