The company's Switch rack distribution units (PDUs) enable high level, user - defined power control and active monitoring. Remote socket control allows power recycling to be switched on and off, enabling remote device restarts and avoiding unauthorized use of individual sockets. Power sort delay allows the user to define the order in which connected devices are switched on or off, thereby avoiding circuit overload. Current metering provides real-time remote monitoring of connected loads with the ability to use user-defined alarms to warn of potential circuit overloads. Users can access, configure, and control switch rack PDUs through secure Web, SNMP, command line, or Telnet interfaces, which are endorsed by the APC centralized management platform, which uses StruxureWare data center expert, operations management, capacity management, and energy efficiency management software. The new AP8000 series switchable rack PDUs include real-time power monitoring, temperature/humidity sensor ports, and lockable IEC sockets.
