APC Rack Mount PDU, Switched Rack 200V-240V/30A, (24) Outlets, 0U Vertical Rackmount (AP8941)

Good quality.

These latest generation APC PDU's work as expected; plug in, connect devices, manage from the network, etc. My big disappointment comes on the software side. We swapped out a bunch of AP7941 PDU's which are an older version of the exact same thing; 208v 0U rack PDU. The AP7941 is lacking the environmental sensor connector, IPv6 and a stable ssh interface (have to use telnet), but otherwise is nearly the same. The menu driven interface on the 7941 from software version 2.x is dramatically better than the cryptic command line system present in the 8941 on the 6.x software.For example, want to reboot a server on port 10? The 7941, telnet in, menu is presented, oh, press 1 for device manager, press 3 for device list, select your device (10), press 1 for off, 2 for on, 3 for reboot... 3, done. It's very easy even if you don't have the thing memorized. On the 8941, I'll give it credit that it's easier to reboot a server quickly, but you have to memorize all the commands and their syntax, which is only going to happen if you are using them constantly, which hopefully you aren't because your servers are stable and you never need to power cycle them. To reboot a server, you use the olReboot command and the port number. Want to see current status of ports? That's a different command you need to find, I think it's olStatus all. Setting values use different commands.Anyway, the hardware is high quality, they work for years and years without issue, just wish the software could have the old menu system reenabled.
