Raritan SmartSensors are plug-and-play environmental monitoring sensors for data centers, server rooms, and IT closures. They connect directly to Xerus-enabled PX Rack PDUs, Inline Meters, Rack Transfer Switches, and PXO Compact PDUs — or to the Smart Rack Controller — via RJ-45 connectors, with no additional cabling required. Dual RJ45 connectors allow daisy-chaining of multiple sensor types on a single bus. Real-time alerts notify administrators of environmental and security events before they cause downtime.
