Smart Networked Intelligent Power Management

SECAP’s Monitored Rack PDUs / Power Rails provide networked power visibility, allowing administrators to track energy usage and load conditions remotely at the unit or PDU level.

Perfect for Australian data centres, high-density server racks, and unmanned installations, these PDUs combine reliable power distribution with real-time alerts and reporting.

With vertical and horizontal mounting options, multiple outlet types, and advanced monitoring features, our networked power rails make it simple to manage and optimise your rack power infrastructure.

​

Why Choose Monitored Rack PDUs / Power Rails

• Remote monitoring: 
  View PDU and unit-level load in real time from anywhere via web interface or network management system.

• Capacity planning & analytics: 
  Track trends, identify potential overloads, and plan expansions efficiently.

• Flexible form-factors: 
  Vertical 0U or horizontal 1U/2U mounting to suit 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 and compliant: 
  Meets electrical standards, with circuit protection, surge management, and alerting.

• Australian support: 
  Guidance for installation, integration, and ongoing networked PDU management.

Key Features

• Network-enabled monitoring of PDU or unit-level power usage.

• Real-time alerts for overload, voltage, or current anomalies.

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

• Multiple outlet configurations including IEC and Australian sockets.

• Supports single-phase or three-phase input.

• Integration with data centre monitoring software or SNMP-based network systems.

 

Typical Use Cases

• Data centres: 
  Monitor multiple racks remotely for uptime, load balancing, and efficiency.

• High-density or mission-critical racks: 
  Ensure each PDU is operating within safe limits.

• Unmanned or remote installations: 
  Receive alerts and reports without physical access.

• IT infrastructure planning: 
  Aggregate power data helps guide expansion, load balancing, and energy budgeting.

• Energy-conscious organisations: 
  Reduce wasted energy and optimise operational costs across racks.

 

How to Choose a Monitored Rack PDU / Power Rail

1. Form factor: 
   Vertical 0U vs horizontal 1U/2U depending on rack space.

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

3. Input power: 
   Single-phase vs three-phase based on infrastructure.

4. Monitoring level: 
   Unit-level (per-outlet or per-PDU) vs aggregate monitoring.

5. Integration needs: 
   Ensure compatibility with your network, SNMP systems, or BMS.
