SurgeX, an Ametek Power Quality Solutions brand has debuted its Vertical Series + at CEDIA Expo 2023. This smart power distribution unit (PDU) pairs SurgeX technology with the cloud-connected power quality analytics, fleet management, and risk prevention capabilities found within SurgeX CONNECT.

Part of the SurgeX Protect + Connect family, the Vertical Series+ comes in 8, 16 and 24 receptacle configurations, and is fully IP-controllable with SurgeX CONNECT, which itself is a cloud-based solution that enables integrators to monitor and manage power health for fleets of compatible SurgeX devices.

According to SurgeX, the Vertical Series+ smart PDU is ideal for space-efficient power distribution, quality assurance and comprehensive power management. The company also notes its unobtrusive design along with configurable sizing serve as a versatile solution within or alongside rack setups.

“The success of AV ecosystems relies on specifying consistent, reliable power quality solutions and long-term risk alleviation through comprehensive management. As integrators grow their portfolios and tackle new categories, however, an influx of new technologies often leaves rack space at a premium,” said Chad Russell, Director of Residential Sales at SurgeX.

“We’ve continuously evolved the SurgeX product line to help integrators put protection and control where it counts: Whether installations are protected by our Branch Circuit, Standalone UPS or other Protect + Connect solutions, we look forward to showing our customers how the Vertical Series+ will complement their projects with intelligent, flexible power distribution.”
