15A · 120VAC · Switched & Metered-by-Outlet Intelligent Rack PDU
SPDU switched & metered smart PDU
The SPDU Series delivers outlet-level control and power visibility for rack-based infrastructure – remotely switch and reboot individual devices, meter consumption per receptacle, and integrate monitoring over SNMP and the web. Available as a 1U 6-outlet or 2U 14-outlet unit, with integrated surge, temperature monitoring, dual Gigabit networking, TAA compliance, and a 5-year warranty.
Intelligent rack power distribution
The 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, and proactive capacity planning. A front-panel touch LCD shows load, voltage, temperature, and alarm conditions locally.
What the SPDU delivers
Switch outlets on or off individually to power-cycle a single device without affecting adjacent equipment – no site visit required.
Per-receptacle wattage and energy data for accurate load balancing, capacity planning, and reduced overload risk.
Automatically ping and restart connected devices when network connectivity is lost, restoring unmanned equipment.
Programmable safe-voltage thresholds protect against damaging fluctuations, with integrated surge suppression at the rack level.
Track ambient temperature in °C or °F; the interactive LCD shows real-time data, outlet status, and alarms at a glance.
Two RJ-45 ports (second is pass-through) with SNMP and secure web management, plus automated email/SMS event notifications.
Switching and metering, per device
Device faults in rack environments often require power cycling to restore operation. Outlet-level switching lets individual devices be rebooted remotely without impacting adjacent equipment – reducing downtime, eliminating unnecessary site visits, and improving response time in distributed or unmanned environments. Compared to aggregate monitoring, metered-by-outlet data supports accurate load balancing, proactive capacity planning, energy reporting, and infrastructure standardization across sites.
Two models, 6 or 14 outlets
| Model | Outlets | Mounting | Surge (Joule) | Dimensions (W×D×H) | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SPDU-0615C | 6 × NEMA 5-15R | 1U (short-depth) | 1080 J | 17.3 × 2.8 × 1.73 in | 2.3 lb |
| SPDU-1415C | 14 × NEMA 5-15R | 2U | 3240 J | 17.3 × 3.5 × 3.5 in | 5.4 lb |
Both models support web-based management, SNMP monitoring, and automated outlet control, and mount in rack, wall, or desktop orientations. Input is 12 A continuous behind a 15 A breaker.
Where the SPDU fits
Smart PDUs operate as the distribution layer within a structured rack power architecture, working alongside upstream UPS systems and facility electrical infrastructure. The SPDU adds outlet-level visibility and control beneath the UPS, standardizing how power is distributed, monitored, and recovered across distributed sites.
An SPDU mounted above a UPS in a structured rack — the distribution layer beneath upstream power protection.
Where the SPDU is deployed
Outlet-level control and metering for switching and routing gear.
Remote reboot and visibility for unmanned edge sites.
Sequenced startup and per-device control for AV racks.
Standardized rack power across hospitality and retail sites.
Resilient, monitored distribution for control environments.
TAA-compliant distribution for federal, defense, and healthcare.
