Description

PowerZook – Rack-Input Power Sensor

Key Features

  • Non-invasive power sensor that clips around live single-phase 3-core cables (up to 32 A) without downtime.

  • Provides power usage data (current, indicative watts) via web-browser interface or SNMP v1/v3.

  • PoE powered (IEEE 802.3af) for easy integration into network/infrastructure monitoring.

  • Ideal for legacy rack installations, PDUs or power feeds where replacement isn’t viable — delivers visibility down to rack level.

  • Compact and maintenance-free once installed.

Technical Specifications

Cable Diameter Supported Up to approx. 13.6 mm diameter
Power Supply PoE (IEEE 802.3af)
Protocols Supported SNMP v1/v3, HTTP, UDP/TCP
Form Factor Clip-on sensor around cable, minimal footprint

Why Choose PowerZook?

If you’re looking to monitor rack power consumption without disrupting your system, PowerZook offers a smart alternative to replacing PDUs or adding inline meters. It clips around your existing feed cable, integrates easily into your network monitoring system, and gives you real-time visibility of rack-level power usage — helping with capacity planning, energy efficiency, fault detection and compliance (e.g., ISO50001).

Applications & Use-Cases

  • Data-centre racks or office server rooms where you need to monitor power draw without shutting down equipment.

  • Legacy infrastructure where intelligent PDUs are not viable or too costly.

  • Environments where remote monitoring (via SNMP/Web UI) of power, overloads, unusual usage patterns or cable faults is required.

  • Supporting energy-efficiency initiatives or reporting (e.g., ESOS) by capturing accurate rack-level power data.

Ordering & Custom Options

  • Standard model monitors single-phase 3-core up to 32 A.

  • For special cable diameters, 3-phase feeds, or additional integration features, please contact us for a tailored solution.

  • Easy to install: clip-on, connect via PoE, calibrate via web UI and integrate with NMS.

Installation & Compatibility Notes

  • Ensure the feed cable you wish to monitor is within the spec (single-phase, 3-core, up to 32 A, and within supported diameter).

  • Sensor must be installed onto live cable while equipment remains powered — but follow safe installation practices.

  • Connect to PoE (or use PoE injector) to power the sensor, then configure via browser or network.

  • Integrate output into your SNMP/NMS or data-logging system to capture and analyse power consumption data over time.

  • Use the data to identify under-/over-utilised racks, potential overloads, or inefficiencies.
