Wattbox WB-820CH1U-IPVM-8 Ip Pdu 8 Outlets 1U

Product Description

The WATTBOX WB-820CH1U-IPVM-8 is a network-controlled power distribution unit (PDU) with eight individually switched outlets in a 1U rack-mount form factor. It provides IP-based remote power management, allowing technicians to monitor, reboot, and control connected equipment over a network connection without physical access to the rack. Built for AV, IT, and low-voltage control applications, this unit sits in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and is typically installed by low-voltage integrators, AV technicians, or IT infrastructure personnel managing remote or distributed equipment enclosures.

This PDU is suited for commercial and residential AV rack installations where remote power cycling and outlet-level control are required. Common applications include equipment rooms, server closets, and AV control racks where connected devices such as amplifiers, processors, network switches, and control systems may need scheduled or on-demand reboots. The unit is categorized under surge protection and PDU products, making it appropriate for installations where both power management and basic surge mitigation are priorities.
