Small Size. Big Power.

Smart PDUs for compact AV installations

GUDE’s compact power distribution units (PDUs) enable fast and cost-effective managed services, even in the most confined spaces. They are real problem solvers when it comes to efficient energy management.

The award-winnig PDUs were developed to fit into any AV installation thanks to its compact casing: Behind displays of UC rooms, under tabeltops in huddle spaces or in small media furniture and lecterns.

Expert Power Control 1141 is a 4-way switched power distribution unit with integrated safety functions as well as power measurement and environmental monitoring. This IP-based power solution enables operators of AV installations to gain full control over their infrastructure: Up to four AV devices connected to the power sockets can be supplied with power and individually switched and controlled.

The smaller brother is Expert Power Control 1121: The networked socket outlet has the same range of functions and two switchable ports in an even smaller and thinner housing.

Benefits for AV Experts

Less downtime: Detailed power and sensor monitoring keep an eye on your AV setup in real time. Integrated surge protection and quality high-inrush relays provide additional safety.
Easy integration: Free plug-n-play drivers seamlessly integrate the PDUs with solutions from AMX, Biamp, Control4, Crestron, Extron, Savant and Q-SYS.
More sustainability: The network-compatible power distributors enable AV devices to be switched off and on collectively. The battle is declared against power guzzlers that would otherwise cause massive electricity costs in 24/7 operation, even in standby.
Faster managed service: Remote reboots or automatic power cycling on hangs of media players, servers and streaming devices.

Greater safety for your AV installation

GUDE’s intelligent PDUs offer a range of robust safety features to protect business-critical AV environments:

Surge protection: Integrated type 3 surge protection devices (SPDs) safeguard AV systems from harmful voltage spikes and ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Long-life high-current relays: Prevent relay contacts from welding during inrush current peaks
Encrypted communication: Security through SSL (TLS 1.1, 1.2, 1.3) and SSH
Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) avoids high switching currents by switching at the zero crossing of the AC voltage
