APC 120V 30A Rack Mounted PDU - Refurbished, Used and New

Best Selling

APC 120V 30A rack PDUs feed a full rack of switches, servers and storage from one NEMA L5-30P twist-lock circuit, with a 24A continuous load rating that a 15A or 20A strip cannot match. Most models in this collection are zero U vertical strips with 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets that mount in the rear channel of the rack without using any rack units, and one is a 2U horizontal unit with 16 outlets for racks that have no vertical mounting space. The collection spans basic, metered and switched types, and both the original AP75xx/AP79xx generation and the later AP88xx/AP89xx generation. NetworkTigers sells these PDUs refurbished, used and new, and every unit is tested before it ships so it works when it arrives.

Which 120V 30A rack PDU do I need?

Check the receptacle. Every PDU here plugs into a NEMA L5-30 twist-lock outlet. If the rack is fed by a straight-blade 5-15 or 5-20 outlet, you need the 15A or 20A collection instead.
Add up the load. A 30A circuit is rated for 24A continuous, about 2.8 kW at 120V. Sum the nameplate draw of the equipment, and leave headroom for the inrush when everything powers on at once.
Pick the control level. Basic (AP7532) for a closet nobody needs to monitor, metered (AP8832) when you want to see the load and get alarms before a breaker trips, switched (AP7932, AP8932, AP7902) when you need to reboot a device remotely or stagger outlet power-up.
Pick the form factor. Zero U vertical strips need a rear PDU channel or mounting pegs in the rack; the AP7902 takes 2U of rail space instead.
Match outlet count to plugs. All 24 or 16 outlets are 5-20R, which accept both 5-15P and 5-20P equipment cords.

Frequently asked questions

What changed between the AP7932 and the AP8932?
Both are switched zero U strips with 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets and an L5-30P input. The AP8932 is the later generation, with a newer network management platform, a different display and an updated chassis. If you already run AP79xx units and want spares that match, the AP7932 is the like-for-like choice; for a new rack, the AP8932 gives you the current firmware line.

Can I daisy-chain two 30A PDUs on one circuit?
No. Each PDU should have its own L5-30 circuit. Putting two 24-outlet strips on one 30A feed only makes sense if the total load is well under 24A, and it defeats the point of the second strip, which is usually to give each server a feed from a separate circuit or UPS.

Do the metered and switched models need a separate management card?
No. The network management on these units is built in. Connect the Ethernet port, set an IP address, and reach the unit by web browser, SNMP or command line.
