Switching PDUs & Power Rails

Switched On/Off Remote Outlet Control

SECAP’s Switched Rack PDUs / Power Rails give Australian IT teams the ability to control power to individual outlets remotely, enabling safe rebooting, load management, maintenance, and energy optimisation all without physically accessing the rack.

Ideal for high-density server rooms, network operations, and unmanned installations, these units combine reliable power distribution with smart outlet-level control.

Vertical and horizontal mounting options, multiple outlet types, and built-in circuit protection make our switched power rails flexible, safe, and easy to integrate.
