Product — Smart PDU

Remote power control.
Without the complexity.

A 1U rack-mount power distribution unit with six individually switchable outlets, managed entirely through a browser over your existing IP network. No proprietary software. No dedicated management hardware.

Key Features

Six things engineers actually use.

01

6 Individually Controlled Outlets

Turn any outlet on, off, or toggle it independently — from your browser or via API.

02

Browser-based Web GUI

Works on mobile and desktop. No app install, no VPN dependency if you're on the same network.

03

REST API Access

Automate power management with standard HTTP calls. Integrate with your existing monitoring tools.

04

Daisy-Chain Networking

Connect up to 10 PDUs in a chain and manage all of them from a single Web GUI.

05

DHCP + Static IP Support

PDU gets its IP from your DHCP server. Configure your DHCP to assign a static lease for a permanent address.

06

Configurable Outlet Types

Order in C13, C19, or a Mixed combination. We configure before shipping.

How It Works

From box to browser in three steps.

01

Mount & Connect

Install the Smart PDU in your 19" rack. Connect it to your AC power input and plug it into your switch with a straight Ethernet cable. Turn on the MCB at the rear.

02

Get the IP

The LCD display shows the MAC address while it waits for DHCP. Once the IP is assigned, it appears on the display. Configure your DHCP server to make it static.

03

Open the Web GUI

Navigate to https://<ip-address> in any browser. Accept the self-signed certificate prompt. Log in as Admin (default password: Admin123) and you're in.

Use Cases

Where the Smart PDU earns its place.

Data Centres

Remote power cycling of servers and appliances without dispatching an engineer. Group multiple PDUs under one interface for full-rack visibility.

Network Rooms

Control switches, routers, and patch panel power from your desk. Set port labels to match your rack documentation.

CCTV & Surveillance

Remotely reboot NVRs and cameras. Useful for field sites where physical access is difficult.

Edge Deployments

Manage remote equipment rooms from HQ using the REST API. Integrate with your existing monitoring or DCIM platform.
