APC 20A 120V 1U 8-Outlet Switched Rack Power Distribution Unit

The APC AP7901B is a switched rack power distribution unit that delivers reliable 120 V power to servers, switches, and other critical hardware mounted in a standard 19-inch rack.

It draws up to 20 A through a NEMA L5-20P plug and a 12-foot power cord, then distributes that current across eight NEMA 5-20R outlets. With a load capacity of 1900 VA, the unit helps protect circuits from overload by letting you set alarm thresholds and receive visual or network alerts before limits are reached. A front-panel display shows aggregate current draw in real time, so you can add or remove equipment with confidence.

Because the PDU includes an Ethernet port and an RJ12 serial interface, you can monitor and manage power from anywhere without a trip to the server room. This makes it a practical choice for data centers, branch offices, edge computing sites, and labs where IT staff may not always be on site. The unit installs horizontally in only one rack unit, preserving valuable vertical space, and it meets UL, CSA, and FCC standards for professional environments.
