7. Built-in Management: Integrated NMC3 (Network Management Card) for gigabit communication and enhanced cybersecurity.

APC AP4424A Price in Nigeria

As a mission-critical enterprise device, the APC AP4424A price reflects its advanced switching technology and capacity.

1. Current Market Price: Prices at Kara Nigeria and major IT vendors typically range between ₦1,900,000 and ₦3,200,000 as of 2026.
2. Value Factor: While cheaper 16A models exist, the 32A capacity of the AP4424A is essential for powering full racks of blade servers or high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.

Why the AP4424A is Essential for Your Rack

1. True Redundancy: It allows you to connect a single-corded server to two different power sources (e.g., two separate UPS systems or a UPS and a Generator).
2. Advanced Monitoring: The Color LCD display provides instant local visibility of current draw, helping you avoid circuit overloads before they happen.
3. Remote Management: Supports SNMP, Web UI, and CLI. You can manage and configure the switch remotely via EcoStruxure IT, saving time on site visits.
4. Environmental Awareness: Includes ports for temperature and humidity sensors, turning your PDU into an environmental monitor for your rack.

Maintenance & Security

1. Cybersecurity: The integrated NMC3 provides a secure, encrypted connection to protect your power infrastructure from network-based threats.
2. Field-Replaceable Components: The management card can be replaced without taking the load offline, ensuring 100% uptime even during maintenance.

Summary: The Pro's Choice for Uptime

The APC NetShelter AP4424A ATS is the ultimate insurance policy for your server room. By bridging the gap between dual power sources and single-corded equipment, it eliminates one of the most common single points of failure in IT environments.
