APC AP8941

Overview

The APC AP8941 is a switched rack power distribution unit designed to deliver reliable 200 to 208 volt, 30 amp power to critical IT equipment. It features twenty-one C13 and three C19 outlets arranged vertically to support servers, network switches, and storage devices within the same rack. This unit offers outlet-level control through a secure web interface, SNMP, or command-line access, enabling remote reboot and power management without physical intervention.

Its zero U vertical mounting preserves valuable rack space, while an embedded memory log tracks volts, amps, and kilowatt hours to help monitor energy consumption and load trends. The AP8941 also supports environmental monitoring via an optional temperature or humidity sensor, making it a comprehensive solution for data centers and edge environments where uptime and efficiency are essential.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
