Eaton Gigabit Network Card for UPS/PDU with Cybersecurity

The Eaton NETWORK-M2 is a gigabit network card designed to improve both the performance and security of your UPS or PDU systems. It provides reliable power management by enabling remote monitoring and control, so you can keep an eye on electrical data, safely shut down equipment, or reboot devices connected to specific load segments without being physically present. This makes it especially useful for IT managers and facilities teams who need to maintain uptime and respond quickly to power events.

Security is a key focus of this card. It meets strict cybersecurity standards, including UL 2900-1 and IEC 62443-4-2, which means it includes strong encryption, robust password policies, and support for certificate-based authentication using CA and PKI signed certificates. These features help protect your networked power devices from unauthorized access and cyber threats.

The NETWORK-M2 integrates smoothly with Eaton’s Intelligent Power Manager software, allowing you to automate responses during power disruptions, such as relocating virtual machines to avoid downtime. It supports a wide range of network protocols like IPv4, IPv6, HTTP, HTTPS, and SNMPv3, ensuring it fits well within diverse IT environments. For those who want to monitor environmental conditions, the card also supports an optional temperature and humidity sensor, sold separately, to help you keep track of the physical environment around your power equipment.

This network card is a practical choice for businesses that rely on uninterrupted power and need a secure, manageable solution to monitor and control their UPS and PDU systems remotely. It comes with a 2-year limited warranty, providing added peace of mind.
