Revamping Rack PDU Deployments
Designed for power and network security and digital excellence, NX1 Smart Ready and Smart Node PDUs are based on a DCIM Agnostic and Open API platform that enables you to fit current needs and expectations, while anticipating for maintenance as well as future scaling and upgrades.
One Platform, Multiple Possibilities

NX1 Metered PDUs
For Consumption Monitoring (Input Metering)
Allow for accurate measurement of the unit’s energy consumption
Easier data collection in the cabinet, as there is no need for technical teams to take on-site measurements
Unit power overviews provide insight regarding decisions about future growth
NX1 Switched PDUs
For Easier Power Management (Input and Output Level Switching)
Precisely manage power at outlet level, enabling individual device switching to improve uptime and operational reliability
Control multiple sites from anywhere while reducing on-site interventions, lowering operational costs
Prevent overloads and human errors, schedule power cycles, optimize energy usage, and perform remote reboots when needed
Ensuring High Efficiency at all Levels

Improve Uptime
• The compact aluminum chassis (60°C rating) withstands high ambient temperatures
• Hydraulic magnetic circuit protection breakers with high ambient temperature tolerance for tripping, and high interruption capacity.

Providing Accurate Monitoring
• Benefit from ±1% accuracy across all load types, ensuring reliable and continuous visibility into your power consumption.
• Access accurate, dependable power metrics to optimize operations and confidently support capacity planning

Ensuring Reliability
• Increasing MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures), hence the NX1 Smart Node PDUs undergo stringent third-party testing and ISO certification under a CB scheme.
• In the manufacturing process, each PDU is individually tested
Your Situation at a Glance
User-friendly and responsive Web User Interface
• Metering, outlet control and peripherals data at a glance
• Easy to configure
• No-fuss peripheral commissioning
• Dynamic HTML to support multiple devices
Configurable alerts
• See alerts on the Web User Interface and set up alert sending, such as emails
• 4 thresholds per parameter:
- Measurement: above or below
- Priority: high or low
Alerts on the PDU for field technicians

Normal Operation
Warning threshold exceeded
Critical threshold exceeded
Flexible Installation Types
Wireless Installation
Deploy your Smart Ready PDUs in a fully wireless architecture by connecting them to a Pod Master and environmental sensors via Zigbee 3.0, enabling fast, flexible, and cable-free installation (typically one sensor per PDU)
Advantages of the Wireless Installation

Skip the network cabling step as PDUs and sensors connect wirelessly, eliminating all dedicated management network cables

Quickly and easily add or move PDUs and sensors as no wiring is needed

Reduce your CapEx and OpEx by cutting down the amount of cabling and controllers needed, while benefiting from a faster installation with fewer components

Install sensors wherever needed, without routing cables, to improve environmental monitoring accuracy and simplify layout management

Create different “management zones” depending on your operational structure
POD Master: Create a fully secured Wireless Network
Daisy-Chain Installation
Install Smart Ready PDUs and equip Only equip the first PDU with a controller: all units’ data will be aggregated into the Smart Node PDU’s user interface.
Up to 31 Smart Ready PDUs downstream to a Smart Node PDU with RJ45 patch cables (RS 485 link).
Advantages of the Daisy-Chain Installation

Reduce your CapEx by cutting down the number of controllers needed

Reduce your OpEx by diminishing your running costs with fewer Ethernet switch ports

Save costs and improve margin by reducing SKU count and upselling access to smart features

Easily upgrade Smart Ready to Smart Node PDUs upon request thanks to our modular design

Save energy and limit carbon footprint as fewer Smart Nodes are needed
Traditional Installation
Advantage of the Traditional Installation

Benefit from full intelligence as each PDU is fully manageable on its own, without depending on a daisy chain or any other device

Manage your installation precisely thanks to the PDUs’ independent IP address, allowing different departments to manage only the PDUs relevant to them

Reduce the risk of human error associated with daisy-chain failures as each PDU has its own uplink, ensuring that an error on one unit does not affect the others

Ensure easier MACs (Moves, Adds, Changes) thanks to easier adjusting and replacing of each PDU

Opt for the most familiar and common deployment method, already used by many operators
