SPDU Smart PDU – Switched & Metered-by-Outlet Rack Power Distribution (15A, 120V)

The Xtreme Power SPDU Series is a switched and metered-by-outlet smart PDU designed for rack-based infrastructure requiring device-level visibility, remote power control, and monitoring integration.

This platform supports distributed IT, AV systems, industrial environments, and regulated deployments where operational continuity and infrastructure standardization are required.

Key Specifications

• 15A | 120VAC | TAA Compliant
• Switched and Metered-by-Outlet
• 1U and 2U Rack Options (6 or 14 outlets)
• SNMP and Web-Based Monitoring
• 5-Year Warranty

Intelligent Rack Power Distribution

SPDU provides outlet-level switching and real-time power monitoring to support operational continuity and reduce service intervention in distributed environments.

Each outlet supports independent control and metering, enabling:

• remote reboot of unresponsive equipment
• device-level load visibility
• staged startup and power sequencing
• proactive capacity planning
• improved infrastructure resiliency

A front-panel touch LCD provides local visibility of load, voltage, temperature, and alarm conditions.

Where SPDU Fits in Rack Power Architecture

Smart PDUs operate as the distribution layer within a structured rack power architecture, working alongside upstream UPS systems and facility electrical infrastructure.

Available Models

All models support web-based management, SNMP monitoring integration, and automated outlet control.

Why Outlet-Level Switching Matters

Device faults in rack environments often require power cycling to restore operation.

Outlet-level switching allows individual devices to be rebooted remotely without impacting adjacent equipment. This reduces downtime, eliminates unnecessary site visits, and improves response time in distributed or unmanned environments.

Why Metered-by-Outlet Monitoring Matters

Device-level power visibility enables accurate load balancing, proactive capacity planning, and reduced overload risk.

Compared to aggregate monitoring, outlet-level data supports infrastructure standardization, energy reporting, and long-term capacity management across distributed deployments.

Monitoring and Integration

SPDU integrates with infrastructure monitoring platforms using SNMP and web-based interfaces, enabling:

• centralized monitoring across locations
• automated alerts and event response
• improved operational visibility

This supports scalable infrastructure management in enterprise and distributed environments.

Deployment Environments

SPDU is deployed across:

• network closets (IDF / MDF)
• distributed IT and edge infrastructure
• AV and media systems
• hospitality and multi-site installations
• industrial automation environments
• regulated institutional facilities

Surge Protection and Electrical Considerations

Integrated surge suppression provides an additional layer of protection against transient electrical disturbances at the rack level.

This is particularly important in distributed environments where upstream power quality may vary.

Compliance and Regulated Infrastructure

SPDU is designed for environments where procurement requirements and infrastructure governance influence equipment selection.

TAA Compliance

The SPDU Series supports Trade Agreements Act (TAA) requirements commonly specified in:

• federal government projects
• defense infrastructure
• healthcare and research institutions
