Efficient System Management

The Dualcom S provides a new approach to managing your power infrastructure. This approach allows you to save energy by scheduling shutdown periods. The Vertical Zero-U format allows you to utilize valuable rack space efficiently.

Power Control and Management

The Dualcom S enables scheduled or manual on/off control of each outlet securely from anywhere in the world, 24/7. It also provides monitoring of the load on each outlet. When combined with our Enterprise Management and Control (EMC) software, load overages can trigger alerts to facility managers of the load increase, enabling a prompt identification and resolution to the problem. With the Cyber Breaker ® Technology, overcurrent conditions can be limited to a single outlet (See more on the Cyber Breaker ® below.)

Cyber Breaker® The Virtual Circuit Breaker™

Our individual current monitoring technology provides supplemental circuit breaker protection on an individual outlet basis. This patented capability, called the Cyber Breaker®, trips an individual outlet when the amperage exceeds a user-defined threshold. Just as a regular circuit breaker uses a mechanical mechanism – either thermal or magnetic – to trip on an overload, the Cyber Breaker® functions as a virtual circuit breaker using a software algorithm coded into control electronics to shut down an overloaded outlet.

Simply set the current limit and time delay and Cyber Breaker® protects against losing the whole rack. Only the outlet whose current goes over the pre-set limit will “trip”, protecting your IT investment. The Cyber Breaker® can also send alerts, such as the one to the right, when a threshold has been surpassed and the circuit has been “tripped”.
Additionally, using Cyber PDUs with the Cyber Breaker® allows you to protect your existing equipment by setting unused outlets to trip when a minimum current is drawn. As a result, outages can be prevented if someone accidentally plugged in a device which would otherwise trip the whole branch circuit.
