IsoTek Smart Power Alpha (8-Way, Programmable)

The IsoTek Smart Power Alpha is a programmable 8-way mains filter strip for custom-install professionals: filtered power supply plus full control via RS232, LAN and WiFi – in a slim 1U enclosure.

A PDU (Power Distribution Unit) like the ones found in AV and IT racks – but with IsoTek's power-cleaning technology. Eight C14 IEC outlets are individually filtered, and the whole unit can be controlled via a secure online interface, including a codex for Control4 and Crestron.

Why the Smart Power Alpha?

Because it combines power cleaning with system control: filtered outlets, decoupled from each other, against noise – and at the same time the ability to switch entire systems on and off remotely, sequence them in a defined order or restart them when needed.

What you get

Clean power for the rack, surge protection and full control: control via RS232 (classic and USB), LAN Ethernet and WiFi – worldwide, via a secure online interface.

Who is the Alpha suited for? (and who not – plain talk)

For custom installers and demanding AV racks that need controllability. Plain talk: if you just want clean power without remote control, the more affordable Alpha Lite serves you just as well.

Our verdict

Clean power meets system control: eight individually filtered outlets, remotely controllable via RS232/LAN/WiFi, in a slim 1U format. For installations that want more than just filtering.

Frequently asked questions

What can the Smart Power Alpha's programming do?

Controlled power-on and power-off order (sequencing), restart of individual outlets, remote access and reporting via RS232, LAN and WiFi – including integration with control systems like Control4 and Crestron.

What's the difference from the Alpha Lite?

Both filter eight outlets individually and protect against surges. The programmable Alpha adds control via RS232, LAN and WiFi with sequencing and remote reboot; the Alpha Lite only filters, without control.
