Hi, Yes. They are good. Nothing I would deploy in a large data center but for a few racks they are perfect. Beware that they are not built to be connected straight to the internet =D. The management module can reset depending on packet payload and overall traffic. They should always be behind some sort of firewall with rules limiting its access. PS: Ours are a few years old, I'm sure APC added some sort of security since then, you may want to look 'em up. Happy 24th to all. ----- Alain Hebert ahebert@pubnix.net PubNIX Inc. 50 boul.

Does anyone on list have experience with the APC AP7920 switched rack PDU, or any of the horizontal rack mountables with management? We're looking at these for our remote sites.

So, that's not a very good endorsement :)
Idk why you'd use a fuse in a PDU. MCB units age. Especially with vibration. A 10A MCB becomes a 9A MCB after some miles.
Fuses don't.
MCB units are good at protecting people since they trip quickly and aggressively.
Fuses tend to linger before blowing, and thus are comparatively bad at protecting people (longer shock) but better at protecting infrastructure (surge and switch-on-transient resistance).
