The *B models are successors of the discontinued models I have, and at first sight only have the controller board replaced with a more modern version (with more current networking features), and have hefty prices (highly depending on the country where you buy them), about 100% more than what I paid about 20 years ago:
- EUR ~800 [Wayback/Archive] APC Rack PDU – AP7920B – Power Distribution: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories
- EUR ~800 [Wayback/Archive] APC Rack PDU – AP7921B – Power Distribution: Amazon.de: Computer & Accessories
There are way more models – from other manufacturers too – listed at [Wayback/Archive] Eaton PDU Cross-Reference.
