APC EasyPDU, Switched, Zero U, 22 kW, 230V, (30) C13 & (6) C19；IEC309

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

The APC EasyPDU switched unit is the kind of thing you buy when you’re fed up with “just reboot it” as your troubleshooting strategy. With remote switching, you can power-cycle individual outlets, isolate a misbehaving server/UPS/RMM target, and avoid rolling crews or asking someone on-site to do the button-push. For a UK B2B environment where downtime is expensive and tickets are constant, that convenience tends to pay back quickly—especially in shared spaces, MSP racks, or places with mixed hardware that isn’t always behaving.

That said, it’s not a bargain at £1,748.30 ex-VAT. I’d only go for it if you genuinely need outlet-level control (not just a basic monitored strip) and you have the operational maturity to use it properly—i.e., someone will actually log into it, set up the right naming/thresholds, and use it during incident response. If you’ve got a single homogenous rack where everything can be power-cycled as a group, a simpler non-switched or lower-cost option will usually be better value. Also sanity-check your requirements: if you need more than a handful of C13/C19 sockets worth of control, you’ll regret paying for switching on a unit that can’t cover your actual devices.

**Who should buy:** MSPs, colocation users, and IT teams managing multiple critical devices that need quick, remote isolation/power-cycling. **Who shouldn’t:** small deployments with one-off hardware, or teams that won’t use the switching/remote management in day-to-day operations.
