PowerCable 2KZ — Flat cable PDU with energy metering, LAN/WiFi

PowerCable 2KZ is a flat cable PDU with 2 outputs (110/230V, max 16A) for remote energy metering and restart, extended with 2 digital inputs (DI). You can connect it via LAN or WiFi, depending on what is available at the installation site.

It is controlled via WEB, the NETIO Mobile 2 app, NETIO Cloud or the Open API (JSON, SNMP, Modbus/TCP, MQTT-flex and others). Both DI inputs count pulses with a 4-byte counter — you can connect an external electricity meter, water meter or similar to them.
