APC UPS Network Management Card 3 with Modbus & Env Monitoring

The APC AP9643 is a plug-in network management card that turns a compatible Smart-UPS or Symmetra single-phase UPS into a device you can watch and control from anywhere. Once installed, you can log in through a web browser, SNMP, or Modbus TCP/IP and see real-time status, run self-tests, and carry out graceful shutdowns without standing in front of the rack.

IT teams that oversee branch offices, edge sites, or busy data centers will appreciate how easily the card folds into existing monitoring platforms. It speaks Modbus TCP/IP and BACnet/IP for building management systems, and it links directly with EcoStruxure IT and StruxureWare Data Center Expert for fleet-wide visibility. PowerChute Network Shutdown support lets you script an orderly shutdown of connected servers during an extended outage, protecting data and speeding recovery.

Two front-panel USB ports simplify firmware updates, so you can keep security patches current with nothing more than a thumb drive. The universal I/O port accepts optional temperature or temperature and humidity sensors, giving you early warning if cooling fails or a door is left open. For sites where pulling cable is difficult, an optional Wi-Fi accessory provides wireless connectivity.

With encrypted protocols, user-defined event actions, and detailed data logs, the AP9643 helps maintain uptime and proves compliance. Whether you manage a single UPS in a small server room or dozens spread across remote locations, this card gives you the situational awareness needed to protect critical workloads.
