Remote Power Controller Güde 8021-1 Black

The Güde 8021-1 Remote Power Controller is a switched Power Distribution Unit (PDU) for 19-inch racks that enables switching, metering and remote management of connected devices. It supports control via TCP/IP, serial interface or mobile app and provides four IEC C13 load outlets (max. 10 A per outlet, device max. 16 A). The unit includes two energy meters and residual current measurement (type A) to monitor electrical parameters and detect fault currents.

Advantages

The device offers individual outlet switching through web interface, serial commands, SNMP or a local button. Security and network features include SNMPv3, SSL, IPv6, Telnet, RADIUS and Modbus TCP. Integrated energy metering and residual current detection help identify power-saving opportunities and send warnings before failures occur. Compact 1U form factor (439 x 178 x 44 mm) and German manufacturing provide reliable rack-mounted power management.

Suitable for

• Rack-mounted IT equipment in server rooms and data closets
• Remote power cycling of network devices and servers
• Environments requiring energy monitoring and fault current alerts
• Integration with SNMP and Modbus-based monitoring systems

How to use

Install the unit into a 19-inch rack using the included mounting hardware. Connect the PDU to the mains and plug equipment into the four IEC C13 outlets, ensuring per-outlet current limits are not exceeded. Access the web interface over the network, use the serial interface or the supported mobile app to configure outlets, monitor energy readings and set thresholds. SNMP or Modbus TCP can be used to integrate the PDU into existing monitoring systems.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, ensure the combined load does not exceed 16 A and individual outlets remain within the 10 A limit. Configure alerting via SNMP, email or monitoring software to receive warnings on residual current events and abnormal energy consumption. Perform periodic checks of connections and firmware updates to maintain security and functionality.
