Local Power Monitoring

SECAP’s Metered Rack PDUs / Power Rails provide real-time power monitoring via an on-device display with no network required.

Ideal for Secure Sites, high-density server rooms, networking closets, branch offices, or commercial IT installations, these units help prevent overloads, optimise energy usage, and support effective capacity planning.

With vertical and horizontal mounting options, multiple outlet types, and robust protection features, our locally metered power rails deliver reliable, measurable, and easy-to-read power to your critical equipment.

​

Why Choose Metered Rack PDUs / Power Rails

• Local, real-time monitoring:
  Check current load directly on the PDU display.

• Accurate capacity planning:
  Track consumption per rack for safe and efficient power distribution.

• Flexible form-factors:
  Vertical 0U or horizontal 1RU/2RU designs fit any rack layout.

• Outlet & input options:
  Australian SAA GPO, IEC C13 / IEC C19, IEC LOCK, or mixed sockets; single-phase or three-phase input.

• Safe & compliant:
  Meets electrical standards, with built-in circuit breakers and overload protection.

• Australian support:
  Expert guidance for installation, selection, and maintenance.

 

Key Features

• On-device display showing current power load.

• Single-phase or three-phase input support.

• Multiple outlet configurations including IEC, IEC LOCK and Australian SAA GPO sockets.

• Vertical (0U) and horizontal (1U/2U) rack-mountable designs.

• Built-in circuit breakers or overload protection for safe operation.

• Ideal for small-to-medium data centres, server rooms, and IT closets.

 

Typical Use Cases

• Server rooms & data centres:
  Monitor rack loads on-site to prevent overloads.

• High-density racks:
  Easy tracking of power usage per PDU without network setup.

• Branch offices or remote racks:
  Local visibility where networked monitoring isn’t needed.

• IT upgrades or expansions:
  Check available capacity before adding more equipment.

• Energy-conscious organisations:
  Optimise usage and avoid unnecessary power costs.

 

How to Choose a Metered Rack PDU / Power Rail

1. Form factor:
   Vertical 0U saves RU space; horizontal 1RU/2RU fits across standard 19" posts.

2. Outlet requirements:
   Count and type (IEC C13 / IEC C19, IEC LOCK vs Australian SAA GPO).

3. Input power:
   Single-phase or three-phase, depending on your rack power infrastructure.

4. Monitoring scope:
   Local PDU display provides per-unit data; networked monitoring is not included.

5. Integration needs:
   Ensure compatibility with existing UPS or standard rack equipment.
