Accurately captures energy information in real-time
Smart Power Cables deliver true plug-and-play power monitoring
Smart Power Cables revolutionize branch circuit monitoring. Other solutions can be costly to implement, complex to install and difficult to scale. Packet Power Smart Power Cables avoid these issues by incorporating metering in a power cord and accessing the energy usage data via a wireless network. Since the cables can be used with any device with a plug, there’s no need to uninstall existing equipment, and you can have one monitoring system that works across all your devices.
Use with any BMS or DCIM application that supports standard SNMP or Modbus protocols
Monitors anything with a plug including SANs, mainframes and switches
Secure, proven wireless network designed for data centers
Simple ‘‘plug and play’’ installation means no electricians required
Highly cost-effective
Self-forming, self-optimizing network minimizes IT resource requirements
Make any PDU a smart PDU
Why buy a smart PDU when it is faster and cheaper to make your existing PDU smart? To get your rack ready for a smart PDU, you need to remove the existing gear, run an Ethernet cable, allocate the switch port, and assign an IP address. The associated costs are often more than the cost of a Smart Power Cable before spending anything on the smart PDU itself.
With Packet Power smart power cables, you simply unplug the PDU, add the smart power cable and instantly begin monitoring.
FEATURED CASE STUDY
Fujitsu U.K.'s innovative use of Smart Power Cables reduced monitoring costs by 35%
Packet Power's remote monitoring system is the smart way to monitor power and environmental conditions. Fujitsu was "wowed" by the simple installation, low cost and instant insights.
Captures information on voltage (V), current (A), power (W), power factor, energy (Wh), frequency (Hz) and temperature
Maintains key data during power disruptions
10 to 100 amp capacity, single- and three-phase versions, 100 to 480V
Local LED display
Supports all IEC, NEMA, regional and specialized plug and connector formats
Proven with thousands of cables in use worldwide
Failsafe design will not disrupt the flow of power
Grow Fast or Grow Slow
Even the most cost-effective monitoring solution can present a budget challenge. Smart Power Cables mitigate that by making it easy to grow your monitoring deployment over time. Simply start with the circuits that need monitoring the most and grow from there. There’s no need to tie up money monitoring circuits that are a low priority or aren’t even in use.
Monitoring that’s easy on IT
Monitoring networks can encompass thousands of devices and as part of the facility infrastructure must be secure. Smart Power Cables provide a solution that minimizes IT time by utilizing a selfforming and selfmanaging wireless network. And they maximize security by segregating monitoring units from primary data networks on to a proven and highly secure purposebuilt monitoring network.
