Flexible, Customizable Power

Solutions for Mission Critical Success

The most critical
decision, for mission
critical facilities.
By their very nature, mission critical and data center
facilities are extremely sensitive to downtime, delays in
adding power distribution circuits, and inefficiencies.
However, with STARLINE Track Busway, power
distribution has been revolutionized. This simple,
versatile, and economical solution for supplying power
is unique because STARLINE Track Busway can be
tapped instantly at any location, without any downtime.

Having STARLINE Track Busway power for your

mission critical facilities gives you the advantage:

• Maintenance-free track busway design has been

field-proven in data centers for over 25 years.

• Plug-in units can be positioned at any point along

the busway for maximum versatility.

• Customization of plug-in units for any environment.

• Easiest installation of plug-in units – just insert

and turn.

• No complicated mechanisms or levers.

• Most reliable plug-in design with the least

amount of electrical connections from busway
to plug-in unit.

• Interchangeable plugs for systems including: B250,

B400 and B800.

• Multiple busway feed options: end, top,

center – for installation flexibility.

Real-time monitoring
for peak efficiency.
Because of the market’s growing need for energy efficiency,
energy monitoring systems are more important than ever. The
STARLINE Critical Power Monitor (CPM) offers an enhanced
monitoring package that will allow you to monitor, integrate and
display more data center power information easily and reliably.
The STARLINE CPM offers:
• Revenue grade metering functionality
• Monitors multi-circuit configurations
• End feed and branch circuit models
• Display and non-display versions available
• Wired Ethernet and serial communications are standard,
optional 802.11n Wi-Fi connectivity
• Ability to use both Modbus and SNMP protocols
simultaneously
• Telnet and Modbus TCP/IP are also standard protocols
STARLINE’s CPM is uniquely designed to provide the
functionality required for busway applications.
The STARLINE CPM is calibrated to meet ANSI Revenue
Grade Standards for power usage, and a variety of
communications interfaces facilitate seamless integration
with BMS and DCIM packages.
Monitors are factory-built into STARLINE power feeds and
plug-ins, providing a clean and seamless integration of
monitoring with power distribution.
The STARLINE CPM creates value for data center power
distribution systems by providing the critical information
needed to optimize management and efficiency.

Plug-In Raceway:
Next generation raceway
for today’s power needs.
STARLINE® Plug-In Raceway was created to meet
the ever-changing power distribution needs of the
mission critical environment. Though it may look like
other raceway products, STARLINE Plug-In Raceway
has the unique ability to add or relocate plug-in
modules anywhere on the raceway quickly and easily.
This means you can eliminate panel boards and
the associated costs of reconfiguring circuits,
receptacles and wiring. You simply snap the
pre-assembled plug-in modules into place on the
raceway backplane and the connection to power
is made automatically without having to interrupt
power. Plus, an optional datacom channel is
available for data, video and audio applications.
