NETIO PowerCable 2KB Smart Flat Power Distribution Unit
Product Description
The NETIO PowerCable 2KB is a compact, smart, flat power distribution unit with two independently controllable outlets, perfect for precise remote switching and energy monitoring. Designed for both professional and home automation applications, it offers accurate metering of voltage, current, power, and energy consumption for each outlet separately. With built-in Zero Current Switching (ZCS) technology, it safely controls even high inrush or "problematic" loads such as LED lights, electric motors, or devices with large capacitors. The PowerCable 2KB supports a wide range of M2M communication protocols, including MQTT-flex, Modbus/TCP, SNMP, and HTTP, enabling seamless integration with IT monitoring systems, building automation, and cloud services. Compact and versatile, it can be placed on a desk, mounted in tight spaces, or deployed in network cabinets to give you reliable control and measurement without bulky rack equipment.
- Two individually switchable and metered 110–230V AC outlets
- High-accuracy measurement of voltage, current, power, energy, power factor, and frequency
- Zero Current Switching (ZCS) for extended relay life and safe control of high inrush loads
- Supports M2M protocols including MQTT-flex, Modbus/TCP, SNMP v1/v3, Telnet, JSON/HTTP, and more
- Embedded web interface for configuration, real-time monitoring, and control
- Scheduler for automated on/off control based on time or conditions
- Compact, flat design for flexible placement in space-constrained areas
- Firmware upgradable for new features and enhanced security
Why You Would Use This Product:
The PowerCable 2KB is ideal for situations where you want precise, remote control and monitoring of two separate devices from a single, compact unit. At home, you could use it to monitor and manage your home office setup, power-cycle your modem and router remotely, or schedule lamps and appliances to operate at specific times. In a workshop, it can control and measure the consumption of tools or machinery, while protecting relays from wear when switching inductive loads. For aquarium enthusiasts, it can safely operate pumps and lights while tracking exactly how much power each uses.
