Switched PDUs let you power-cycle one outlet from anywhere, which turns a midnight drive to a locked closet into a browser tab. The range covers APC (1U 120V and 0U 208V), the CyberPower PDU41001 and Middle Atlantic RackLink models.
Useful wherever a hung access point, camera or switch would otherwise mean a site visit. The Middle Atlantic PDC-915R-2 works differently: two of its outlets follow a contact closure from a control system or occupancy sensor. Compare the two approaches in metered vs switched PDUs.
