The APC Switched Rack PDU (AP7922B) is an enterprise-grade power distribution unit designed for high-density server environments. Unlike a basic power strip, this unit provides individual outlet switching, allowing IT managers to remotely cycle power to locked-up servers or turn off unused outlets to prevent overloads—critical for maintaining uptime in Nigerian data centers.
