Xtreme Power offers TAA-compliant Smart Power Distribution Units (PDUs) designed for federal agencies, military installations, educational institutions, VA facilities, and other compliance-driven environments. The Xtreme Power SPDU (Switched Metered-by-Outlet PDU) delivers secure, network-grade power distribution with outlet-level monitoring, remote switching, and integrated surge protection—all in a fully TAA-compliant platform.
Smart PDUs are commonly deployed alongside UPS systems in network closets, AV racks, edge IT sites, and unattended facilities to improve uptime, reduce service calls, and provide centralized visibility and control over connected devices.

What Is a TAA-Compliant Smart PDU?
A Smart PDU provides more than basic power distribution. In compliance-driven environments, a TAA-compliant Smart PDU enables:
- Remote monitoring of connected loads
- Individual outlet control and reboot capability
- Energy usage tracking for each device
- Integrated protection against power anomalies
For federal, education, and public-sector deployments, TAA compliance ensures the product meets Trade Agreements Act requirements for government procurement.
Xtreme Power SPDU — Switched Metered-by-Outlet PDU
The Xtreme Power SPDU is a 15A, 120VAC, IP-enabled Smart PDU that provides outlet-level control and metering to optimize rack performance, reduce downtime, and prevent costly service calls. All models are fully TAA compliant and engineered for government, military, and public-sector applications.
Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports provide secure network access, with a second port offering pass-through connectivity for external devices such as controllers or sensors.
