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.”
Other features of the the Vertical Series+ include onboard analytical software, sequencing and monitoring capabilities, including remote power down and reboot, sequencing, power cycling, advanced scheduling, and auto-ping.
Additionally, SurgeX has stated the Vertical Series+ is compatible with mainstream control systems for simpler integration in residential and commercial applications.
For attendees at CEDIA Expo 2023, SurgeX will be demonstrating the new Vertical Series+ in person at CEDIA Expo Booth #3920.
Sales teams will also be available to discuss the new release, help attendees create a free SurgeX CONNECT account, and share details about upcoming rollouts for the Protect + Connect family later in 2023.
