The Juice Goose iP-1515-RX is an intelligent, web-manageable power distribution unit that combines robust surge protection with individual outlet switching and detailed power monitoring for 19-inch equipment racks. This advanced PDU is engineered for IT, AV, and broadcast environments where remote management of power is critical for uptime and troubleshooting. It provides a 15-amp power input distributed across 15 individually controllable IEC outlets, allowing administrators to power cycle specific devices—such as a locked-up server, router, or DSP unit—from any location via a standard web browser. This capability eliminates the need for costly service calls or physical access to a remote equipment closet, dramatically improving response time to issues.

Beyond remote switching, the iP-1515-RX offers comprehensive power quality monitoring. Its embedded web server delivers real-time data on current draw (per outlet and in aggregate), voltage, power (kW), and cumulative energy consumption (kWh), providing valuable insights for capacity planning and energy management. The unit incorporates multi-stage surge protection with a high joule rating to guard connected equipment against voltage spikes and transients. Network connectivity is achieved via a built-in Ethernet port, and security is ensured through features like password-protected access, configurable user permissions, and support for secure protocols like HTTPS and SSH.

Housed in a 1U or 2U steel rack-mount chassis, this PDU is built for reliability in continuous operation. It allows for the scheduling of outlet power cycles, can send email or SNMP alerts based on user-defined thresholds (e.g., overload or power loss), and supports daisy-chaining of multiple units for centralized management. The Juice Goose iP-1515-RX transforms a simple power strip into a networked management tool, providing unparalleled control, visibility, and protection for critical rack-mounted systems.
