The MasterSwitch Series provides solutions for a variety of applications in the technology industry. While every product in the series has the base functionality to allow for remote rebooting or power control of attached equipment, each product in the series provides added features targeted to specific markets and needs. These markets include server farms, datacenters, branch offices, ISPs, and Co-Location facilities. APC's MasterSwitch is a power distribution unit (PDU) that allows users to control power to connected devices. The on/off/reboot capability of this unit is ideal for any situation where simply rebooting or power cycling is required of equipment or "locked-up" servers.
MasterSwitch Power Receptacles increase the maximum load amperage controlled by a MasterSwitch unit by allowing for loads to be shifted from the MasterSwitch to a separate branch circuit.
