BlackBox PSE554MA-EU Power Switch NG4, 4x IEC320, Schuko Power Cable content_copy

The Black Box PSE554MA-EU is a modular Power Switch NG for the European market, enabling remote control of up to four power outlets over IP networks. With four Schuko/IEC320-C13 connectors, it provides flexible and secure power supply for servers, network devices, and other IT infrastructure components. The sequential power-on function limits inrush current and prevents tripping of circuit breakers, which is particularly beneficial when powering up devices with high startup current. The device supports Soft-Shutdown functions to safely power down servers and enables automatic restart monitoring of IP devices in case of failures — ideal for maintaining critical systems without physical access.

Control and configuration are performed via IP network as well as through an RS232 interface, ensuring flexible integration into existing network environments. The modular design allows connection of up to four xBus peripheral devices to expand the number of outlets or environmental monitoring (e.g., via sensors or dry contacts). The easy integration into KVM switching solutions also supports centralized management of IT systems. The device is designed for use in data centers, server rooms, and other critical IT environments where reliability and remote control are essential.

Note (internal)
The warranty is stated as 1 year in sources 1 and 2, but as 2 years in source 3. These statements contradict each other; therefore, the value from the first two sources (1 year) is used, as they are directly linked to the product text. The information in source 3 is not clearly substantiated and is therefore not considered.
