APC Metered by Outlet with switchable rack PDUs enable comprehensive, user-customizable control of power distribution with individually switchable outlets and power measurement. Individual outlets can be turned on and off remotely to restart systems or prevent unauthorized use of outlets. Delayed power-on sequences allow for the establishment of the switching order of connected systems. Prioritization during load shedding optimizes circuit overloads as well as the startup and failover of critical systems. The measurement functions enable real-time remote monitoring of connected loads. The switched rack PDUs feature real-time power monitoring, a sensor connection for temperature/humidity, and lockable IEC connections. User-defined alarms alert to potential overloads before failures occur. Configuration and control of the switched rack PDUs can be done via web, SNMP, or Telnet interfaces. Additionally, integration into APC's centralized management platforms is possible, such as InfraStruxure Central, Capacity Manager, and Change Manager.
