Apc AP7968B Switched Rack Pdu Zero U 12.5kw

Product Description

The APC AP7968B is a switched, zero-unit (0U) rack power distribution unit rated at 12.5 kilowatts. It mounts vertically in standard server racks and cabinets without consuming horizontal rack space, making it well suited for high-density data center and enterprise IT environments. The switched design allows per-outlet remote power control, enabling technicians to cycle power to individual loads without physical access to the cabinet. Data center facilities engineers and qualified electricians are the primary installers of this unit.

The AP7968B is deployed in enterprise server rooms, network closets, and colocation environments where administrators need granular remote power management across multiple connected devices. Its 12.5 kW capacity supports high-draw compute and networking equipment. The zero-U form factor allows it to reside along the side rail of a rack, preserving usable rack unit space for active equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed data center facilities technician familiar with NEC requirements for branch-circuit power distribution. De-energize the upstream circuit breaker and verify zero voltage at the input connector before making any wiring connections. Secure the unit in the rack rail mount per the rack manufacturer guidelines before connecting branch circuits or outlet loads. Do not exceed the rated 12.5 kW input capacity across connected outlets.
