Product Features
Technical Overview
This automatic transfer switch maintains 230V AC output matching its input voltage, with no voltage conversion. The 32A current capacity handles substantial power loads typical in server rooms and data centers. Input power connects via an IEC 60309 32A 2P+E plug, while output distribution uses 16 C13 and 2 C19 outlets to accommodate various equipment power cords.
The switch operates automatically without manual intervention, detecting primary source failure and transferring to the secondary source within milliseconds. This prevents downtime for connected servers, storage arrays, and networking gear. The RS-232 serial interface enables configuration and monitoring, with included cables for immediate setup.
This section brings together practical product details such as Plug/Connector Type, Input Voltage, Output Voltage, Current, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

- 16 C13 outlets
- 2 C19 outlets
- Mixed outlet types
Rack-Optimized Design
The 2U form factor maximizes rack space utilization while providing full front-panel access to all outlets and status indicators. Black finish matches standard rack aesthetics.
- 2U rack height
- Standard 19-inch width
- Front-accessible outlets
Deployment / Use Cases
Deploy this automatic transfer switch in any environment requiring redundant power sources for critical equipment. The unit serves as the central switching point between primary and backup power feeds, ensuring continuous operation during utility outages, generator testing, or circuit maintenance.
Typical installations include data center server racks, network operation centers, telecommunications closets, and broadcast facilities. The switch protects servers, storage systems, network switches, and other equipment that must remain operational during power source transitions.
Data Center Redundancy
Connect servers and networking equipment to two separate power distribution units or UPS systems. The ATS automatically switches between sources during maintenance or failure events.
Generator Backup Integration
Use with standby generators to provide seamless transition between utility power and generator power during extended outages.
