Snap One introduced its new series of WattBox IP controllable power distribution units (PDUs) designed specifically for 20-amp systems. The three PDUs comprising the high-amperage 820 Series retain many of the same popular features as WattBox’s original 15-amp 800 Series, including OvrC remote monitoring and resolution; self-healing auto reboot; and control, scheduling, and metering of individual outlets. These capabilities facilitate a smooth transition for systems integrators handling commercial and dedicated theater projects, which often have high power requirements. The 820 Series is designed to meet the demands of these high-power environments while delivering the reliability and functionality WattBox users have come to expect.
The first two models available in the 820 Series are the WB-820-IPVM-12 and WB-820CH1U-IPVM-8, featuring 12 and 8 individually controlled and metered outlets respectively. WattBox will follow this initial release with a 2-outlet version, giving systems integrators options for jobs of all sizes. 20-amp and 15-amp outlets can be combined within a single 820 Series power distribution unit to meet the power specifications of a job.
