PowerPDU 8QS — 8x IEC-320 C13 power strip for a 19" rack cabinet with remote control

PowerPDU 8QS is a power strip (PDU) with 8 IEC-320 C13 sockets, mounted in a 19" rack cabinet as 1U. You meter and switch each output separately, and the device supports metering both for the whole strip and for each socket individually. This variant does not include a mains power cable — you connect it with your own cable with an IEC-320 C20 plug.

Control is via WEB, the NETIO Mobile 2 app, the NETIO Cloud or Open API (JSON, SNMP, Modbus/TCP, MQTT-flex and more). ZVS switching protects connected equipment with high inrush current against overloads at startup.

Key parameters

• Outputs: 8x IEC-320 C13 (max 10A/output)
• Input: IEC-320 C20, 110/230V (max 16A)
• Energy metering: Yes, 8 channels (A, kWh, W, TPF, Hz, V)
• Network: LAN (RJ45)
• Mounting: Rack 19" (1U)
• Switching: ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching)
• API: JSON, MQTT-flex, SNMP v1/v3, Modbus/TCP, XML, URL API, Telnet
• Cloud: NETIO Cloud (paid, free welcome credit)
• Warranty: 6 years

Basic features:

• 8 metered IEC-320 C13 outputs: per-socket energy metering (A, W, kWh, TPF, Hz, V).
• Remote control: WEB, mobile app, NETIO Cloud or Open API.
• Scheduler: automatic on/off by day and time.
• AV drivers: integration with Crestron, Control4, BrightSign and other systems.
• 1U mounting in a 19" cabinet: saves space in the rack.
• ZVS switching: safe for equipment with high inrush current.

Applications

PowerPDU 8QS is well suited for power distribution in a server rack, load balancing thanks to energy metering, and remotely restarting frozen equipment without leaving your desk. Standard IEC-320 C13 sockets are the typical choice for servers and network switches.
