Key Features
High-Density Outlet Configuration:
Available in various configurations (e.g., 1U horizontal, 2U horizontal, 0U vertical) to maximize rack space.
Features a comprehensive mix of C13, C19, NEMA 5-15R/20R, or other region-specific outlets to accommodate diverse equipment needs.
Clearly labeled and color-coded outlets for easy identification and load balancing.
Advanced Power Monitoring:
Real-time granular metering: Monitor current (Amps), voltage (Volts), power (kW), and energy consumption (kWh) at the inlet, phase, and individual outlet level.
High-accuracy sensors: Ensures precise data collection for billing, efficiency analysis, and capacity planning.
Threshold Alarms: Configurable thresholds for critical parameters with automated alerts (email, SNMP traps) to prevent overloads and ensure proactive management.
Remote Management & Control:
Network Connectivity: Built-in Ethernet port for secure web-based remote access, SNMP, SSH, and Telnet.
Individual Outlet Control: Remotely cycle power to individual outlets, turn them on/off, or schedule power sequences for controlled reboots and power cycling of connected equipment.
Secure Access: Supports strong authentication (e.g., RADIUS, LDAP, Active Directory) and encryption (HTTPS, SSL/TLS, SSH) for secure remote operations.
Robust Circuit Protection:
Hydraulic-Magnetic Circuit Breakers: Provides superior overload protection, preventing downtime from tripped breakers while allowing for hot-swap maintenance without powering down the entire strip.
Branch Circuit Protection: Protects against overcurrents within specific output groups, isolating faults without affecting other critical loads.
Surge Suppression: Integrated transient voltage surge suppression (TVSS) to protect connected equipment from power spikes and fluctuations.
User-Friendly Interface:
Local LCD Display: High-visibility display provides instant access to critical power metrics, network settings, and status indicators directly on the unit.
Intuitive Web Interface: A modern, responsive web GUI offers comprehensive configuration, monitoring, and reporting tools.
LED Indicators: Visual cues for power status, network connectivity, and overload warnings.
Environmental Monitoring (Optional/Integrated):
Ports for connecting external temperature and humidity sensors (sold separately) to monitor environmental conditions within the rack, alerting administrators to potential issues.
Reliable & Durable Design:
Constructed with a heavy-duty, aircraft-grade aluminum chassis for maximum durability and heat dissipation.
High-retention input plug ensures a secure main power connection.
Benefits
Maximize Uptime & Reliability: Proactive monitoring and remote management reduce the risk of power-related outages and allow for quick recovery.
Optimize Energy Efficiency: Granular power consumption data helps identify rogue servers, balance loads, and implement energy-saving strategies, leading to reduced operational costs.
Simplify Remote Management: Eliminate the need for on-site visits for power cycling, saving time and resources, especially in distributed environments.
Enhance Security: Secure access protocols and outlet-level control prevent unauthorized power operations and improve overall data center security posture.
Streamline Capacity Planning: Accurate power data enables informed decisions on equipment deployment and prevents costly over-provisioning or under-utilization of power resources.
Scalable & Future-Proof: Designed to integrate seamlessly into existing and future data center architectures, supporting evolving power demands.
Ensure Compliance: Provides the necessary data for regulatory compliance and internal reporting requirements related to energy consumption.
Ideal Use Cases
Enterprise Data Centers: For high-density server racks requiring precise power control and monitoring.
Colocation Facilities: Providing tenants with transparent billing and remote control over their power usage.
Network Closets: Managing power for routers, switches, and other networking equipment in remote locations.
Edge Computing Sites: Enabling remote management and power cycling of critical infrastructure at the network edge.
Industrial Automation: Distributing and monitoring power for control systems and machinery where reliability is paramount.
Broadcasting & AV Suites: Ensuring stable power and remote restart capabilities for sensitive audio/visual equipment.
