General Features
Agility
Single Input Power Source
Supply power from one branch whip to multiple pieces of equipment, conveniently powering rack-mount equipment. Saves time and money during installation by using one branch whip and standard connections.
Rack Mountable
Includes horizontal, vertical, and toolless-mount varieties. Puts power where it is needed most–in the racks near the equipment.
Availability
Power Delays
Allows users to configure the sequence in which power is turned on or off for each outlet. This helps avoid in-rushes at start-up, which can cause overloaded circuits and dropped loads. Sequencing also allows users to pre-determine which piece of equipment is turned on first so other equipment dependent on that unit will function properly.
Local Current Monitoring Display
The aggregate current draw per power distribution unit is displayed on the unit via a digital display. The local digital display helps installers avoid overloaded circuits by providing a visible warning when the current draw is close to the maximum amperage draw of the strip.
Alarm Thresholds
Define alarm thresholds in order to avoid overloaded circuits. Network and visual alarms inform the user of possible problems.
Remote Individual Outlet Control
Remotely manage outlets so users can turn outlets off that are not in use (prevent overloads) or recycle power to locked-up equipment (minimize costly downtime and avoid travel time to equipment).
Network/Remote Management Capabilities
Full-featured network management interfaces that provide standards-based management via Web, SNMP, and Telnet. Allows users to access, configure, and manage units from remote locations to save valuable time. Associated with this feature is the ability to quickly and easily upgrade the firmware via network download to installed units for future product enhancements.
Integrates with StruxureWare Data Center Expert
An IT-ready, scalable access monitoring system that collects, organizes, and distributes critical alerts, surveillance video, and key information, providing a unified view of complex physical infrastructure environments from anywhere on the network
Flash Upgradeable
Quickly and easily upgrade firmware via network download for future product enhancements. Eliminates the need to replace products already installed in the field when new features are released. (Note: Networked units only)
Load Indicator LED
Indicates overload and warning conditions based on the user-defined alarm thresholds. Alerts users of potential overloaded circuits.

APC AP7900B Reviews

Small form is great in tight racks

We use these in our AV racks in order to be able to remotely power cycle equipment that might be locked up or not responding to pings. It is a time saver for our techs and the APC version is very reliable on our network.

Does this PDU display per outlet power usage?

Does this PDU display per outlet power usage?
Asked by: Herman
Thank you for inquiry. The previous poster is correct that the AP7900B does not have the option to display the power draw of each outlet. It is only the overall power draw. The feature is available in our metered PDUs.
