CyberPower PDU15SW10ATNET Switched ATS PDU, 100-120V, 15A (Derated to 12A), 10 Outlets, RMCARD205 Pre-Installed, 1U Rackmount

I use this with my home lab. It's a bit of an overkill, but I got it for a fairly good reason.Channel A on this is supplied from a double-conversion UPS. It's pretty big.Channel B on this is supplied from a single-conversion UPS, not nearly as big, but has the same output rating.Power goes off; both UPSs are unhappy, UPS A drains as it has all the load. Signals for things to shut down. Ideally, that happens. Email alerts are sent at power loss and at UPS shutdown. I'm not home. I have a bit of time to get to a system and make sure my stuff goes offline OK. UPS A drians out, shuts off.This device flips power over to Channel B. UPS B, having not had a load, has only lost a bit keeping itself running and beeping. Most everything is offline, except switches, routers, Wifi, and anything else dumb enough to not get a shutdown-now notice. UPS B can keep this stuff running for a while on minimal load! Power comes back on. My systems should start back up automatically, but, sometimes they don't. Remote access as all my network is still online, let me bounce a few outlets from my other PDU's, and tada, things are booting back up.This is also helpful if you need to change out batteries in a UPS and even though it says you can do it online, but would rather not.

If you need an AT PDU, these are good value for money. If you have a bunch of single-tailed equipment (one power cord) and you want to guard against failure of one of your power busses, an AT PDU will do the job. It's also useful for moving a rack from one power source to another without bringing down the equipment: you plug the power cords of the PDU into extension cords, and "leapfrog" from one socket to the next as you move your rack down the hall.The net-connected part of the PDU is full featured and they update the firmware so there's at least some chance it's ~secure. But the documentation is terrible and CyberPower's Java-based discovery and configuration tool is straight out of 2005. Avoid it. The unit will get an address via DHCP and you can sign into it using a web browser. Still needs an ftp client to do firmware upgrades (also straight out of 2005) and its ftp server doesn't support PASV mode so many ftp clients won't work with it (straight out of 1995).Overall recommended for build quality, reliability, and value for money.

I have purchased two of these devices; one died but was replaced without too much trouble, the second was just installed. I was disappointed that the first one stopped working and support didn't want to replace it but it was eventually resolved.With two units, I decided to try out the software that purports to manage multiple devices instead of logging into each one. I quickly ran into problems. The software can see both devices but reports that both units cannot be contacted after being added to the interface. According to support, I have to dedicate a desktop unit (laptops are inexplicably not permitted) that connects directly to the same physical switch (i.e. same subnet is not adequate). Since these devices are installed on different racks, there is no single switch that both devices are connected to so I'm back to managing one device at a time.

Bought this to make sure I never have another server room power failure again. Very easy to setup and program. I would recommend this to any small business that can't afford to have a server rack power failure.

Does exactly what it should. Easily network managed, provides reduncant sources (namely battery units) to a single source device.

Auto-switched. Keep single power supply servers up and running.

Good product. Time will tell if it holds up!

I needed this for my hosted servers and wanted this to control the router and switches. It's perfect if you have 2 switches. The only issue was that it did not have an auto probe feature to determine if the router needed rebooting. I ended up returning it and spending a little more for the tripplite model that says it has the auto probe feature.
