Geist RCX
The Geist RCX connector was designed to monitor Geist's Power Monitoring (RCX) PDUs . These PDUs are rack-level units with circuit monitoring via a built-in web server, providing a comprehensive remote view on the power utilization of the installation. In addition to monitoring amps, volts, real power, apparent power, power factor and kWatt-hours, these units provide jacks for optional environmental monitoring.
About
This connector uses SNMP to retrieve data from the device, making it possible to fully monitor the PDUs.
