PowerCable 2PZ
PowerCable 2KZ is FLAT PDU (Power Distribution Unit) for remote power control (remote restarting). Device connectivity is LAN or WiFi, 2 power outputs (110/230V max 16A) are available on terminal blocks.
NETIO PowerCable 2PZ is flat PDU with LAN connectivity using a RJ45 (Ethernet) or WiFi (2.4 GHz – internal antenna).
Both power outputs can be individually switched On/Off (restarted - short off) on the device website, Mobile App or from the NETIO Cloud service web.
PowerCable 2PZ PDU supports a week-based scheduler feature.
PowerCable 2PZ we call “FLAT PDU” because can be installed behind TV, under double ceiling or to similar limited space. 2PZ is delivered without power cables, user have to install power cables to the terminal block with using screw driver.
Open API enables integration into third-party systems using a wide range of protocols (JSON, Modbus/TCP, XML, SNMP, MQTT, Telnet, ..).
With the NETIO Cloud service, the output(s) can be switched On/Off from anywhere. The NETIO Cloud service, provided for a fee, uses SSL/TLS security and servers in Europe.
AV drivers make it easy to connect NETIO sockets to professional Audio/Video control systems such as RTI, ELAN, SAVANT, BrightSign, Crestron, Control4 etc.

Open API
The NETIO PowerCable 2PZ outputs can be controlled over the Web and the NETIO Cloud at the same time. For Open API communication, one M2M protocol can be chosen from among the following:
Modbus/TCP
MQTT-flex
Telnet
URL API (http get)
JSON over HTTP
XML over HTTP
SNMP v1
SNMP v3
HTTP(s) Push JSON
HTTP(s) Push XML
Documentation for the protocols is available at the manufacturer’s website. The ANxx Application Notes provide useful deployment guidance.
Regardless of which Open API protocol is being used, the PDU can always be controlled from its web interface and from the NETIO Cloud service at the same time.
Device variants
PowerCable 2PZ: plain unit (with terminal block connector inside), no power cables included.
Industrial product quality
PowerUp state – the state of the outputs after the device is powered up is configurable (On/Off/Last).
ZVS – for switching an appliance on and off more frequently than a few times a day, ZVS (Zero Voltage Switching) support becomes important in the long term.
Scheduler function (calendar)
With the Scheduler function, each output can be switched on and off automatically at pre-defined times and days-of-week. A schedule is useful for saving energy and periodic restarts of other equipment.
WiFi connectivity only
For WiFi setup without LAN, the product features a built-in WiFi AP as well as a wizard to guide you through the selection of a WiFi network and configuring the connection.
