Crestron PC-350V-12 – 12-Outlet Vertical Networked Power Controller and Conditioner with Surge Protection

Product Overview

The Crestron PC-350V-12 is a zero-U vertical rack-mount networked power controller and conditioner with 12 AC outlets, surge protection, power metering, and per-outlet remote switching. It mounts vertically inside a standard 19 in. equipment rack and is designed for data centers, AV equipment rooms, and server closets where horizontal rack space is limited and vertical power distribution is preferred. IT managers and AV integrators use it to manage outlet-level power control, monitor energy consumption, and protect connected equipment from power surges through a Crestron control or network interface.

Product Description

The PC-350V-12 connects via 100 Mbps Ethernet and integrates with Crestron control processors, XiO Cloud, and a web browser interface for remote outlet switching, energy monitoring, and automation. Surge protection meets UL 1449 Type 3 (Listed) standards with a 3,640 joule energy dissipation rating and 600 V clamping voltage at a 1 ns clamping time. Voltage and current sensing with 1% accuracy enables precise energy monitoring across the full unit. The vertical 0U form factor is well-suited for high-density racks where adding another 1U power conditioner would reduce usable server or AV equipment space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can individual outlets on the PC-350V-12 be switched on and off remotely?
A: Yes. Each of the 12 outlets is independently switchable and can be controlled via Crestron programming, the web interface, or SNMP for remote power cycling and automated power sequencing of connected equipment.

Q: What is the zero-U vertical mounting and how does it save rack space?
A: Zero-U vertical mounting means the unit attaches vertically to the inside of the rack frame rather than occupying horizontal rack units (1U = 1.75 in. of vertical rack height). This keeps all 42U or 45U of horizontal space available for servers, switches, or AV equipment while still providing managed power distribution for the rack.

Q: Is there a version with more outlets for larger racks?
A: Yes. The PC-350V-18 provides 18 outlets in the same vertical zero-U form factor for racks requiring more outlet capacity. Both models share the same networking and surge protection capabilities.
