Power distribution unit APC AP7922B — 16 C13 outlets, Metered & Switched PDU, 2U, 200–230 V, 32 A, 3.05 m cable, Black

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 predetermine which piece of equipment is turned on first so other equipment dependant on that unit will function properly.

Load indicator LED
Indicates overload and warning conditions based on the user-defined alarm thresholds. Alerts users of potential overloaded circuits.

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)

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 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.

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. (Available on designated SKUs only)

Alarm Thresholds
Define alarm thresholds in order to avoid overloaded circuits. Network and visual alarms inform the user of possible problems. (Note: Only available on units with the current monitoring capabilities. Please see SKU specifications for availability)

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.

Wide range of input and output connections
Product family includes a variety of input and output connections to distribute 120V, 208V, or 230V power to multiple outlets. Having a variety of inputs and outputs allow users to adapt to varying power requirements. APC offers units that bring up to 14.4kW using a single branch whip.

Rack-Mountable
Includes horizontal, vertical, and toolless-mount varieties. Puts power where it is needed most - in the racks near the equipment.

How to use

Install the AP7922B into a standard 19-inch rack occupying 2U of vertical space and connect the IEC309 inlet to an appropriate powered circuit rated for 32 A and 200–230 V. Use the local digital display to observe aggregate current draw during deployment and define alarm thresholds to receive visual or networked alerts before overload conditions occur. Configure network settings via the Web, SNMP, or Telnet interface to enable remote monitoring, firmware upgrades and outlet-level control. Use the outlet sequencing and power delays to establish safe power-on and power-off order for dependent equipment.

Recommendations

Define alarm thresholds and enable local and network notifications during initial setup, and schedule firmware updates through the network interface to maintain security and access to new features. Use remote individual outlet control for troubleshooting and to avoid unnecessary travel to remote racks. When populating the PDU, balance loads across outlets and verify the aggregate current does not exceed the rated 32 A capacity to prevent tripping or overload conditions.
