APC Switched 2G 15A 100-120V 8-Outlets Rack Power Distribution Unit

The APC AP8931 is a switched rack power distribution unit that brings reliable, outlet-level control to any 15 amp, 100 to 120 volt rack environment. With eight NEMA 5-15R receptacles, it supplies clean power to servers, switches, and other essential hardware while letting you decide exactly when each device starts or shuts down.

Remote access is built in. From a secure web interface, SNMP, or Telnet session, you can turn outlets on or off, check load levels, and receive alerts long before a breaker trips. Real-time current metering and user-defined alarms make it easy to catch potential overloads and keep uptime on track, even when you are miles away from the rack.

Installation is straightforward because the unit mounts vertically outside the equipment rails, so it occupies zero rack units of valuable space. A 10 foot cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug reaches wall outlets or upstream UPS systems without strain, giving you flexibility in crowded network closets and edge locations.

Power sequencing is another practical benefit. By staggering the startup order of connected devices, you prevent inrush current from overloading circuits, extend hardware life, and recover more gracefully after maintenance or a power event.

For teams already invested in APC infrastructure, the AP8931 drops into existing dashboards and logs without extra configuration. For smaller operations, its simple browser interface offers an easy first step toward smarter power management.
