Design Features
Ultra-low-profile, space-saving design with locking IEC receptacles. Includes an environmental monitoring port for external temperature/humidity monitoring.
Network Management Capabilities
Full-featured network management interfaces provide standards-based management via Web, SNMP, and Telnet. Users can remotely access, configure, and manage rack PDUs, and upgrade firmware via network download. Up to four PDUs can share one IP address within an enclosure.
Remote Individual Outlet Control
Outlets can be managed remotely to turn off unused outlets and recycle power to locked-up equipment, minimizing downtime and avoiding travel to equipment.
Alarm Thresholds
Users can define alarm thresholds to prevent overloaded circuits. Network and visual alarms alert users to potential problems.
Power Delays
Configure power-on/off sequences for each outlet to avoid in-rush issues and ensure dependent equipment powers on in the correct order.
Local Current Monitoring Display
The digital display shows the aggregate current draw per rack PDU, helping installers avoid overloaded circuits.
Metering Capability
Includes active current and power measurements, user-customizable alarms, and embedded log memory for reviewing historic data.
Flash Upgradeable
Firmware can be updated quickly via network download, eliminating the need to replace installed products for future enhancements.
Integration with StruxureWare Data Center Expert
Provides scalable monitoring and alerts, offering a unified view of complex physical infrastructure from anywhere on the network.

The AP8958 Rack PDU platform will help IT and facilities managers more effectively manage power capacity and functionality for critical network, server, and data centre equipment. The Switched Rack PDUs provide advanced load monitoring combined with remote on/off switching control of individual outlets for power cycling, delayed power sequencing and outlet use management and solve rack-level power needs while incorporating intelligent features such as real power measurement and environmental monitoring, all in a space efficient, zero-U form factor. AP8000 Series Rack PDUs include active power metering and remote alarming with volts, amps, real power (kW), and energy (kWh) measurements.
The AP8958 has seven (7) IEC-C13, one (1) C19 outlets and one (1) IEC-C20 input
Features:
1. User Interface display for local access
2. Environmental monitoring port for external temperature/humidity probe
3. Local USB port for flash firmware updates and downloading data/event logs (not to be used as serial port)
4. CAN In/Out ports for network port sharing
5. 7 x IEC320 C13 & 1 x IEC320 C19 Outlets
6. IEC320 C20 input connector.
Design Features:
- Ultra-low-profile, space-saving design
- Locking IEC receptacles and locking power cord compatible
- Environmental monitoring port for external temperature/humidity monitoring
Network Management Capabilities:
- Full-featured network management interfaces that provide standards-based management via Web, SNMP, and Telnet. Allows users to access, configure, and manage rack PDUs 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.
- Network Port Sharing (Up to four rack PDUs share one IP address in one enclosure)
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).
Alarm Thresholds:
- Define alarm thresholds in order to avoid overloaded circuits. Network and visual alarms inform the user of possible problems.
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 predetermine which piece of equipment is turned on first so other equipment dependant on that unit will function properly.
Local Current Monitoring Display:
- The aggregate current draw per rack PDU 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.
Metering Capability:
- Active current measurements (amps)
- Active power measurements (Including volts, amps, real power (kW), and energy (kWh)
- User customizable alarms and warnings
- Embedded log memory to record/review/report historic metered data
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)
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
Includes: Installation guide, Rack Mounting brackets, Safety guide, Serial configuration cable
