    Vertical power strips

    IPC36xx and IPV42 series intelligent power controllers are available in both rack mount and 42-in. vertical strip models and provide individual on/off control of eight outlets. Power is controlled remotely via Ethernet (TCP/IP) or Serial (RS-232) connections, and the network interface can be accessed with a Web browser, telnet client, or with SNMP management software. A monitoring feature issues e-mail notification of events or SNMP traps. The software is configurable and includes settings for outlet names, unit names, network settings, sequence times, and reboot times.

    Disconnect switch

    MD2DS series factory-sealed disconnect switches function as electrical load disconnects in industrial areas classified as hazardous by the NEC. Available in fused and non-fused 600VAC models in 30A, 60A, and 100A designs, the explosion-proof, waterproof, and corrosion-resistant switches are also rated for NEMA Type 3, 3R, 4, 4X, and 12 areas. They feature stainless steel bolts and hardware, a copper-free aluminum enclosure safeguarded by an epoxy powder finish, and an insulated, lockable dual-color operating handle that indicates when the switch is energized.
