PowerCABLE 2KB, metering

We call NETIO PowerCable 2KB a “flat PDU” because it can be installed behind TV, under double ceiling or to similar limited space.

Small PDU is connected to LAN via RJ45 (Ethernet) or WiFi. Both power outputs are metered and can be individually switched On/Off (restarted).

Both power outputs individually measures power consumption (A, kWh, TPF, W, V, Hz) and switching On/Off (ZCS).

Each output can be switched manually over the web, the NETIO Cloud service, or with a Mobile App (Locally or via NETIO Cloud).

DI (Digital Inputs) with 4-byte pulse counters can be used to connect momentary switches (dry contact) or S0 outputs of electricity, water or similar meters.

PDU supports local Ping & Power WatchDog and Scheduler functions.

Open API enables integration into third-party systems using a wide range of protocols (JSON, Modbus/TCP, SNMP, MQTT, Telnet, ..).

With the NETIO Cloud service, the outputs can be controlled from anywhere.

The NETIO Cloud service, provided for a fee, uses SSL/TLS security and servers in Europe.

AV drivers make it easy to connect NETIO sockets to professional Audio/Video control systems such as Utelogy, Crestron, Control4 etc.

Typical applications

• The PowerCable 2KB LAN/WiFi PDU is typically used for electricity metering and distribution.
• Remote energy consumption monitoring in one or two circuit branches.
• Connecting the pulse output of a 3-phase electricity meter to In1 or In2 in order to measure electricity consumption above 16A.
• Each output can be switched on/off or power-cycled (e.g. to restart all appliances connected to the same circuit branch) from the web interface or the NETIO Cloud service.
• Controlling the charging of e-bikes, boats and other appliances up to 3.6 kW (230V/16A). 
• Controlling the outputs using Open API (JSON, Modbus/TCP, SNMP, MQTT-flex, Telnet, ...)
• Integration with various third-party programs and applications.
• Controlling the device from the NETIO Mobile 2 app as long as the app is connected to the same network.
• The NETIO Cloud service, provided for a fee, enables central control of outputs of multiple devices in various locations.
