Flash Upgradeable

Quickly and easily upgrade firmware via network download for future product enhancements. This eliminates the need to replace products already installed in the field when new features are released. (Note: Networked units only)

Remote Management Capabilities

Provides full-featured network management interfaces with standards-based access via Web, SNMP, and Telnet. Users can remotely configure and manage PDUs to save time while maintaining control over connected equipment. Firmware can also be upgraded via the network for ongoing performance improvements.

Load Indicator LED

Displays overload and warning conditions based on user-defined alarm thresholds. The visual alerts notify users of potential overloaded circuits, ensuring stable and secure power distribution.

Power Delays

Allows configuration of power sequencing for each outlet. This feature prevents in-rush currents during startup and ensures that dependent devices are powered on in the correct order, avoiding dropped loads or circuit overloads.

Local Current Monitoring Display

Shows the total current draw per rack PDU on a digital display. This visual feedback helps prevent circuit overloads by providing real-time data on power usage. (Available on designated SKUs only)

Remote Individual Outlet Control

Enables remote management of outlets to turn off unused outlets or power cycle locked-up equipment. This reduces costly downtime and eliminates the need for on-site maintenance trips.

Alarm Thresholds

Allows users to define alarm thresholds to prevent circuit overloads. Network and visual alarms provide early warning of potential issues. (Note: Available only on units with current monitoring capabilities.)

Network Management Capabilities

Features standards-based network interfaces for Web, SNMP, and Telnet access. Provides comprehensive monitoring, configuration, and control functions, enabling centralized management and seamless firmware upgrades for networked units.

Integrates with StruxureWare Data Center Expert

Fully compatible with StruxureWare Data Center Expert, offering scalable access monitoring that collects and distributes critical alerts, surveillance video, and infrastructure data. This provides IT administrators with a unified and actionable view of their entire data center environment.
