Designed for shared data center, telecom, and service provider environments requiring segmented access and secure infrastructure. Municipal facilities, education campuses, shared IT rooms, and colocation environments all face the same challenge: how do you securely separate infrastructure without adding unnecessary complexity?

With adjustable equipment rails, advanced thermal management, and quick-deployment features, the VersaEdge™ Wall-Mount Cabinet delivers a scalable, modular enclosure for modern data center environments. Chatsworth Products Inc. (CPI) has announced the launch of VersaEdge™ Wall-Mount Cabinet, a versatile new edge infrastructure product designed to dramatically simplify deployment and management of distributed computing environments.

By: Alyssa Rice, Content Strategist at Grace Technologies An absence of voltage test is a required verification step that confirms electrical equipment is fully de-energized before a worker begins any maintenance or service. Under NFPA 70E, it is a mandatory part of establishing an electrically safe work condition. Most electrical injuries do not happen because a worker ignored lockout/tagout entirely; they happen because the verification step was rushed or assumed.

Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and daisy chaining for up to 16 PDUs per IP address help simplify deployment, reduce network overhead and support scalable rack expansion. Panduit has announced the ES2P Power Distribution Unit, a managed rack PDU designed to deliver essential power intelligence for today’s compute environments.

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has announced significant advancements in its portfolio of industrial control and protection devices. The company is expanding the functionalities of its semiconductor-based SENTRON Electronic Circuit Protection Device (ECPD) and introducing the SIRIUS 3RW5 -Z R11 refurbished soft starter, its first product designed according to circular economy principles.

September 1, 2026 Their ultra-compact design supports mounting in any orientation. The Inline series offers −14.5 to 14.5 psig and 0 to 145 psig pressure ranges with 4–20 mA, NPN/PNP switching, and IO-Link outputs. They provide ±0.5% accuracy and an IP68-rated housing for dependable performance in harsh industrial environments. Additional MP Sensor P.Touch series pressure transmitters are also now available with -14.5 to 14.5 psig and -14.5 to 145 psig ranges for pneumatic applications.

September 1, 2026 The P1-UX makes it easy to standardize on Productivity1000 I/O while maintaining complete freedom of controller choice. This approach helps reduce overall system cost while improving design consistency and simplifying expansion across applications. The P1-UX module supports both Modbus TCP and EtherNet/IP, providing broad compatibility with common industrial Ethernet networks without requiring different hardware versions.

September 1, 2026 OKW’s award-winning CONTROL-KNOBS for rotary potentiometers and encoders can now be specified customized and ‘production line ready’. These ergonomic knobs, which won an iF DESIGN AWARD, are ideal for touch/click functions on menu-driven interfaces. Applications include measurement and control, medical/wellness, laboratory equipment, HVAC, communications, building control systems and Smart Factory technology.

September 1, 2026 With the CPX Panel PC series, the multi-touch technology of Beckhoff Panel PCs is available in particularly robust versions, complying with the requirements for use in hazardous areas classified zone 2/22. The high level of functionality and excellent build quality ensure the reliability of CPX panels even under harsh environmental conditions. The capacitive touch technology provides the typical convenient operation of all Beckhoff multi-touch panels.

As AI deployments drive rack densities beyond what conventional air cooling can efficiently support, more operators are introducing direct-to-chip liquid cooling, CDUs, and secondary coolant loops. But installing the equipment is only the first step. Long-term reliability also depends on how operators manage coolant health, monitor flow and temperature, detect leaks, maintain components, and coordinate the multiple vendors involved in a liquid-cooling system.
