Delivering What Every Rack Needs:
Smarter Power

Control and Reset Right From the Rack

The innovative new NetLinx Power Distribution Unit (PDU) allows you to control the rack as well as the room. This PDU adds a basic level of control by allowing remote reset of devices via a power cycle, reducing the need to send staff to a customer site.

By managing power delivery, the PDU monitors energy consumption of each connected component and restricts power to any or all devices when not in use. With 8 individually monitored and controlled AC outlets, built-in 12 Volt power supply, 2 sets of 4 AxLink Bus Strips, and power monitoring for each outlet, the PDU is flexible and can reduce wasteful standby power usage. Native NetLinx control over AxLink integrates the PDU with AMX Control systems and Resource Management Suite (RMS).

  • Individually Controlled Outlets - Allows a remote reboot for devices in the rack reducing on-site service calls
  • Power Management of Connected Devices - Reduces standby energy usage (vampire power/phantom load)
  • Built-in Power Current Sensing on Each AC Outlet - Makes it easy to tell if a device is powered on or off
  • Switched and Monitored AxLink Bus Strips - Allows power and switching of AxLink or 12V powered devices (in banks of four)
  • Native NetLinx Device - Simplifies integration
