NETIO PowerPDU 8KB Smart Power Distribution Unit, 8 NEMA 5-15R Outputs

The NETIO PowerPDU 8KB Smart Power Distribution Unit, 8 NEMA 5-15R Outputs provide precise remote control and comprehensive electrical metering for eight individual power outlets, plus one digital input, making it an essential tool for advanced power management in professional and commercial environments. Each outlet is equipped with full metering capabilities that measure voltage, current, power, and energy consumption, delivering detailed analytics to a mobile device or remote computer for effective power usage tracking and safe power cycling of plugged in devices. Additionally, the digital input provides additional control over selected outlets when connected to an external switch or temperature sensor that triggers under preprogrammed criteria. With a robust 1U 19" rack-mount design, the PowerPDU 8KB seamlessly integrates into server rooms, AV racks, and industrial cabinets, supporting IEC-320 C13 outlets for compatibility with standard IT and AV hardware.

In addition to its core functionality, the PowerPDU 8KB supports a wide range of industry-standard communication protocols such as SNMP, Modbus TCP, MQTT-flex, and HTTP(S) JSON API, allowing flexible integration into diverse building management and IoT systems. The unit includes a NETIO T1 temperature sensor for environmental monitoring and automated thermostat control when programmed into an automated scene or routine. Firmware updates can be conveniently performed via a web interface, ensuring ongoing device security and feature enhancements. Ready-made drivers for popular AV and automation systems like Crestron and Control4 further streamline integration into professional AV environments.
