Apc APDU9970 Rack Pdu 9000 Switched Zero U

Product Description

The APC - AMERICAN POWER CONVERSIO APDU9970 is a switched rack power distribution unit in the PDU 9000 series, designed for enterprise data center and IT rack environments. This Zero U form factor unit mounts vertically along the side of a rack enclosure, preserving usable rack unit space for active equipment. Switched PDUs allow remote individual outlet control, enabling power cycling and load management without physical access to the rack. IT managers, data center technicians, and facilities electricians work with units of this type during rack builds, equipment deployments, and remote troubleshooting workflows.

The APDU9970 is suited for enterprise data center racks, server rooms, and high-density compute environments where outlet-level switching and remote power management are required. The Zero U mounting configuration makes it appropriate for installations where rack unit space is at a premium. It is intended for use by qualified IT infrastructure or electrical personnel familiar with rack PDU installation and power distribution best practices.
