Basic

Basic power strips are affordable, but do not have any features such as LED or remote management capability.

Metered

Metered power strips have a LED display that shows the aggregate power draw (current).

Metered with Ethernet

Metered with Ethernet power strips are metered power strips with remote/IP access which allows administrators to view aggregate power draw and environmental information via the network. The outlets on these power strips are not controllable.

Switched

Switched power strips offer the ability to remotely control each power outlet (on/off/cycle) via the network and/or serially in addition to having the metered capability.

Additional features might include: Web interface, command line interface, power sequencing, alarm thresholds, centralized security (like LDAP integration), user defined rights, temperature and humidity probes.

Some models also provide metering capability at the aggregate level and at each individual outlet level. Each individual outlet current metering allows for better capacity planning.

Switched with Outlet Monitoring

Switched power strips with Outlet Monitoring offer the ability to remotely control each power outlet (on/off/cycle) via the network and/or serially in addition to having individual and global metering at the outlet and strip levels.

Additional features might include: Web interface, command line interface, power sequencing, alarm thresholds, centralized security (like LDAP integration), user defined rights, temperature and humidity probes.

Some models also provide metering capability at the aggregate level and at each individual outlet level. Each individual outlet current metering allows for better capacity planning.

-48VDC

48 VDC power strips are mainly used in environments that rely heavily on the use of -48VDC internetworking equipment, such as routers, ATM switches, DSLAMs.

Fail-Safe Transfer Switch

Fail safe transfer switch power strips supply single-power equipment with dual, redundant power in case of a power failure.
