We've had lots of success with both APC and Baytech units. A lot of the Baytech units ONLY have RS-232.
I would like to register a strong vote against APC units. They are quite fragile in our experience, to the point of 20% DOA on their 0U managed units. Either the management console wouldn't work, or the relays were stuck in one position (on or off). Real pain in the neck. Their RS-232 port is RJ11 as well. Baytech's however provide pretty much everything we want, and are cheaper plus more reliable to boot! We only have experience with their RS-232 models, but the interface is easily scripted, customizable alarm threshold, and come out of the box ready to go. Our biggest issue with them so far is a batch of them came in with the threshold set to 12A instead of 16A. Kelly
