GUDE Expert Power Control 8291-2 PDU plus 5-Year Power Cloud Licence

GS-82912 + CLOUD 5Y

The GUDE Expert Power Control 8291-2 is a high-performance 21-way switched AC/DC PDU designed for professional IT, AV and industrial environments where mixed-voltage power distribution, precise monitoring and long-term remote management are required. Supplied with a 5-year Power Cloud licence, it enables secure cloud-based access for monitoring, scheduling and switching over an extended operational lifecycle. Supporting both AC and DC loads, it provides outlet-level metering for DC outputs and advanced energy monitoring across multiple circuits. With integrated protection features such as per-output eFuses, surge protection and intelligent automation, it delivers maximum reliability and safety in complex installations.

Features & Benefits

  • Event and schedule controlled switching
  • Connection of AC and DC consumers with different voltages and connection types
  • Outlet-metered for all DC connectors
  • Precise current metering of up to 9 units and residual current
  • 2 connectors for plug-and-play sensors
  • Fast and easy installation
  • NTP function can be activated
  • Integrated overvoltage protection type 3
  • Each DC output is fused via an eFuse
  • Each power port can be switched via HTTP/S, Telnet, SSH, SNMP or command line interface, as well as via serial interface
  • 17 DC switchable power ports with 24 V, 12 V and 5 V (industrial clamp, USB A)
