Juice Goose iP-1520-RX 20A Web-Based Power Controller with RX Surge Protection

The Juice Goose iP-1520-RX is an advanced, intelligent power distribution unit that combines robust surge protection and noise filtration with comprehensive web-based control and monitoring for 20-amp equipment racks. This unit is engineered for IT data centers, professional AV installations, broadcast facilities, and any environment where remote power management is critical for uptime and operational efficiency. It provides a 20-amp power input distributed across multiple individually controllable outlets, allowing administrators to power cycle specific devices—such as a locked-up server, network switch, or DSP unit—from any location via a standard web browser. This remote reboot capability dramatically reduces response time to issues, often eliminating the need for physical access to remote equipment closets.

Beyond remote switching, the iP-1520-RX incorporates the "RX" series multi-stage surge suppression and EMI/RFI noise filtration, actively cleaning the AC power line to protect sensitive electronics from voltage spikes and electrical noise that can cause data corruption, audio/video interference, or hardware damage. Its embedded web server delivers detailed, real-time monitoring data on aggregate and per-outlet current draw, voltage, power (kW), and energy consumption (kWh), providing invaluable insights for capacity planning and energy management. Network connectivity is via a built-in Ethernet port, with security ensured through features like password-protected access, configurable user roles, and support for secure protocols like HTTPS and SSH.

Housed in a 1U or 2U steel rack-mount chassis, this PDU is built for continuous, reliable operation. It supports outlet power scheduling, can send email or SNMP alerts based on user-defined thresholds (e.g., overload, power loss), and allows for outlet grouping for batch control. The Juice Goose iP-1520-RX transforms a simple power strip into a networked power management appliance, providing unparalleled control, visibility, and protection for critical rack-mounted systems.
