Power Switch NG

The Power Switch NG is a next-generation Power Distribution Unit (PDU) that provides reliable remote control and monitoring of up to eight outlets or outlet groups via IP. Equipped with various features for precise control and flexible configuration, the Power Switch NG is ideal for data centers and mission-critical corporate environments. With a sequential power-up and shutdown feature, inrush currents are minimized, and an integrated Real-Time Clock (RTC) enables time-triggered task automation. Management is easy via web browser, SNMP, or serial connection.

This modular and scalable system allows the connection of up to four xBus peripheral devices, enabling the integration of additional outlets and environmental sensors. Additionally, the Power Switch NG monitors up to 40 IP devices with an automatic reboot function in case of failure.

Flexible Control Options and High Security
Access is available via IP or RS232, with individual configuration options for each outlet. For protection against unauthorized access, the system uses one-time values and hash functions for secure authentication, and administrators can manage up to 40 user accounts with various permissions.
