One Platform, Multiple Possibilities

NX PDUs

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

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

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

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

Flexible Installation Types

Wireless Installation

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

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

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

Reduce your CapEx and OpEx

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

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

Create different management zones

Create different “management zones” depending on your operational structure

POD Master: Create a fully secured Wireless Network


Pod Master of Legrand delivers effortless, rapid, and secure deployment, along with advanced monitoring and control capabilities—empowering electrical engineers, data center managers and end customers. Pod Master transforms how you monitor Raritan NX1 PDUs. With support for up to 60 PDUs in a wireless mesh network, Pod Master eliminates patch cords and simplifies setup. Gain instant access to power data via mobile or web interface.

Daisy-Chain Installation

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

CapEx icon

Reduce your CapEx by cutting down the number of controllers needed

OpEx icon

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

Cost improvement icon

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

Smart upgrade icon

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

Carbon footprint icon

Save energy and limit carbon footprint as fewer Smart Nodes are needed

Traditional Installation

Traditional Installation


Install Smart Node PDUs and manage them individually. Equip each Smart Ready PDU with a controller.

Advantage of the Traditional Installation

Benefit from full intelligence

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

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

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

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

Common deployment method

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

Delivering utmost protection

The NX1 Smart PDU platform combines robust hardware and intelligent software to deliver industry-leading cybersecurity and operational reliability. Designed with Raritan’s decades of expertise, it ensures continuous uptime and secure data center operations.
