PPowerZook – Rack-Input Power Sensor

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 Parameter Specification Maximum Cable Current Up to 32 A single-phase 3-core cable 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.
