The Only 1RU DC Power Panel Combining Real-Time Monitoring with Automated Control for Intelligent Load Shedding and Unprecedented Network Uptime.
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash., January 13, 2026 – Amphenol Network Solutions announced the launch of nrgILS™, a next-generation DC power panel that brings intelligence, automation, and circuit-level visibility to modern network infrastructure. Designed for telecom, data center, edge, and hyperscale operators, nrgILS™ helps teams reduce downtime, avoid dispatching technicians, and operate more efficiently.
While most DC power panels simply distribute power, nrgILS introduces automated decision-making. Equipped with real-time current and voltage monitoring, the panel can detect network conditions and take action instantly, resetting unresponsive equipment, shedding non-essential loads when backup power is active, sequencing recovery to reduce inrush current, and enabling scheduled on/off controls. These capabilities give operators smarter, more responsive power management without requiring hands-on site intervention.
“Power management is becoming a strategic advantage for operators,” said Jon White, Product Manager at Amphenol Network Solutions. “nrgILS™ is designed to help them work smarter. It provides the intelligence needed to protect uptime, optimize energy usage, and respond automatically to the realities of today’s network environments.”
Intelligent Power Control That Adapts to Real-World Conditions
nrgILS™ expands the capabilities of Amphenol’s nrgSMART platform by adding intelligent load shedding and automated circuit control. Key features include:
- Eliminates truck rolls: Auto-ping device resets to restore unresponsive equipment without an on-site visit.
- Extends battery life: Smart load shedding automatically prioritizes critical loads to maximize battery uptime during grid outages.
- Optimizes energy use: Scheduled on/off cycles to reduce energy consumption and costs during low-traffic periods.
- Prevents cascading failure: Amperage-based circuit protection shuts off suspect loads proactively, avoiding system-wide restarts.
- Ensures clean recovery: Sequenced power-up reduces inrush current to prevent system overloads after a major event.
Every circuit action is logged for easy troubleshooting, providing operators with a clear record of when and why any power event occurred.
High Density and High Performance in 1RU
Beyond intelligence, nrgILS™ is engineered for density and flexibility. It supports dual A/B feeds with continuous current ratings of up to 325 amps per feed, along with 16 output circuits, delivering high-density power in a true 1RU footprint. Each circuit can support higher amperage loads, making the platform suitable for today’s higher-powered network devices while maintaining efficient use of rack space and clear control over how power is allocated and protected.
nrgILS™ integrates with existing monitoring systems, supports secure remote access, and includes manual hardware lockouts for circuits that must never be powered down.
nrgILS™ will debut at BICSI Winter 2026, where Amphenol Network Solutions will highlight how intelligent load shedding can support network resilience and operational efficiency.
