Power distribution unit LOGILINK IP switchable 8-port PDU with metering 16A SNMP

LOGILINK IP switchable 8-port PDU with metering 16A SNMP is a rack-mountable power distribution unit designed for remote power control and consumption monitoring of servers and network devices. The unit supports individual outlet switching and load metering while offering SNMP connectivity for integration with network management systems. With a 16A total current capacity and eight switched outlets, the PDU is intended for structured IT environments where remote access and power visibility are required.

Advantages

The PDU provides per-outlet switching and centralized metering that allow administrators to control and measure power usage remotely. SNMP support enables integration with monitoring platforms and automated alerts. The rack-mount form factor and compact footprint simplify installation in standard server racks and cabinets. Built-in protection and clear electrical specifications ensure predictable behavior under typical server room loads.

Suitable for

• Data centers and enterprise server rooms requiring remote power control
• Small and medium business racks with multiple network devices
• Remote or unattended sites where scheduled power cycles are needed
• Environments that require basic SNMP-based monitoring and alerting

Key specifications

• Form factor: Rack-mountable PDU for standard 19-inch racks
• Number of switched outlets: 8
• Maximum total current: 16 A
• Power monitoring: Per-unit and/or per-outlet metering (instantaneous consumption)
• Network management: SNMP support for remote control and monitoring
• Outlet control: Individual outlet on/off switching and scheduled cycles
• Installation: Front-access for outlets with rear mounting options depending on rack layout
• Operating environment: Designed for indoor server room use

How to use

Install the unit in a standard 19-inch rack using the included mounting brackets and secure all connections according to rack layout and safety regulations. Connect the PDU to the network and configure network parameters via the device web interface or SNMP management tool. Attach equipment to individual outlets and use the management interface to switch outlets on or off, set scheduled power cycles, and view metering data for load analysis. Ensure the total connected load does not exceed the 16 A rating and follow local electrical codes when wiring.

Usage recommendations

Place the PDU in a well-ventilated rack position and document outlet assignments to avoid accidental shutdown of critical systems. Regularly monitor metering data to detect abnormal consumption patterns and schedule non-critical device reboots during maintenance windows. Use SNMP integration for centralized alerts and historical logging to support capacity planning.
