SPDU – Switched & Metered-by-Outlet Power Distribution Unit
15A
120VAC
Provides outlet-level control and power visibility to optimize rack performance, reduce downtime, and prevent costly service calls.
15A | 120VAC | TAA Compliant
Provides outlet-level control and metering to optimize rack performance, reduce downtime, and prevent costly service calls — fully TAA compliant for U.S. government, military, and public-sector applications. Dual Gigabit RJ-45 ports provide secure network access with pass-through capability for external devices such as controllers or sensors. Surge suppression is rated at 1080 J on the 6-outlet model and 3240 J on the 14-outlet model for enhanced protection across configurations.
Switched Power Distribution with Remote Monitoring and Control
The Xtreme Power SPDU (Switched Metered-by-Outlet PDU) delivers network-grade power distribution with real-time outlet-level monitoring and remote outlet switching for intelligent power management.
From AV installations and hospitality networks to network closets and edge IT sites, the SPDU provides complete control and visibility over every outlet — reducing service calls, improving uptime, and simplifying device management.
Product Overview
Monitor and manage connected devices anywhere via a secure web interface or SNMP.
Each outlet provides individual metering (wattage, kWh) and independent switching for remote reboot, load control, and energy optimization.
An interactive touch LCD displays outlet status, voltage, and temperature, while integrated sensors and event notifications (email / SMS) alert users to irregular power or environmental conditions.
A durable metal chassis and flexible mounting options (horizontal, vertical, wall, or desktop) make SPDU ideal for short-depth AV racks, network enclosures, and distributed installations.
Key Features
- TAA Compliant – Designed and manufactured for federal, military, and public-sector procurement.
- Switched Outlets – Remotely control or reboot locked-up devices; sequence outlets to manage inrush current.
- Metered-by-Outlet Monitoring – View real-time wattage and energy consumption for every outlet.
- Auto Reboot Function – Automatically ping and restart devices if network connectivity is lost.
- Programmable Voltage Protection – Set user-defined voltage limits to prevent damage from sags or surges.
- Temperature Monitoring – Track rack temperature in °C or °F via built-in sensor.
- Interactive Touch LCD – Displays load level, alarms, and outlet status at a glance.
- Dual Gigabit RJ-45 Ports – (2) shielded 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports with link/activity/speed LEDs. Second port provides network pass-through for external devices only (non-cascading).
- Comprehensive Surge Protection – 1080 J (SPDU-6) and 3240 J (SPDU-14) suppression with programmable voltage limits.
- Flexible Mounting – Supports wall, desktop, and short-depth rack configurations.
- 6-ft Input Power Cord – Included for quick and convenient installation.
- 5-Year Warranty – Industry-leading coverage across the U.S. and Canada.
