Intelligent Power Management Redefined: The 12-Outlet 3-Phase Smart Power Distribution Unit

In the demanding landscape of modern IT infrastructure, efficient and reliable power management is not a luxury—it is the bedrock of operational continuity. Introducing a state-of-the-art Smart Power Distribution Unit (PDU) engineered to meet the highest demands of data centers, server rooms, and industrial environments. This 12-outlet, 3-phase vertical PDU is more than just a power strip; it is an intelligent, network-grade solution designed for granular control, real-time monitoring, and unmatched reliability for your most critical assets. By integrating advanced features into a robust, space-saving design, it provides the foundation needed to optimize power consumption, prevent downtime, and scale your infrastructure with confidence.

Advanced Real-Time Monitoring and Control

At the heart of this Smart Power Distribution Unit lies its sophisticated, hot-swappable monitoring module. This innovative feature is a game-changer for system administrators, allowing for maintenance, upgrades, or replacement of the control unit without interrupting power to the connected servers and network gear. This eliminates the need for planned downtime, ensuring your operations run 24/7 without a hitch.

The module is equipped with a crystal-clear LCD screen that serves as an immediate, on-site window into your power environment. It provides a comprehensive suite of real-time electrical metrics, including:

• Voltage (V): Monitor incoming line voltage to ensure it remains within safe operating parameters for your sensitive equipment.
• Current (I): Track the total current draw for the entire PDU, helping to prevent circuit overloads before they occur.
• Power (P): Gain insight into the active power consumption in watts, which is essential for load balancing across phases and managing rack power density.
• Energy (E): Measure cumulative energy usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh), providing invaluable data for calculating Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE), tracking energy costs, and implementing green IT initiatives.
• Power Factor (PF): Understand the efficiency of your power usage, a critical metric for optimizing electrical systems in large-scale facilities.

This level of detailed, local monitoring is complemented by powerful remote management capabilities. With integrated network ports, this PDU connects directly to your local network, enabling administrators to access all monitoring data and configure alerts from a web browser or through standard network protocols like SNMP. This remote oversight allows for proactive management of the entire power infrastructure from a single pane of glass, reducing the need for physical presence in the data center.

Engineered for High-Density, High-Performance Environments

This PDU is built to support the intensive power requirements of modern server racks. Its 3-phase, 380V architecture is specifically designed to deliver more power more efficiently than traditional single-phase systems. This makes it the perfect choice for powering blade servers, storage arrays, and high-performance computing clusters that have substantial power demands. With support for high-capacity input currents of 32A or 63A, it can handle heavily loaded racks with ease, providing a stable and reliable power source.

The unit features twelve industry-standard C13 outlets, ensuring broad compatibility with a vast range of IT equipment from different manufacturers. These outlets are strategically arranged along the PDU’s vertical body, which is designed for a 0U (zero-U) installation. This means it can be mounted vertically at the side or rear of a server cabinet, consuming no valuable horizontal rack space. This space-saving design is critical in high-density deployments where every rack unit is precious.

Unparalleled Reliability, Scalability, and Safety

Reliability is paramount for critical infrastructure, and this Smart Power Distribution Unit is built to deliver it. Its robust metal chassis is designed for durability in demanding industrial and data center settings. Furthermore, it holds multiple key safety and quality certifications, including CE, RoHS, SAA, and U.L, assuring you that it meets stringent international standards for performance and operational safety.

Scalability is another core aspect of its design. The inclusion of dedicated “IN” and “OUT” network ports enables daisy-chaining, a feature that allows multiple PDUs to be linked together and managed through a single IP address. This dramatically simplifies network cabling and management, reducing the number of switch ports required and lowering the total cost of ownership as your data center grows.

To further safeguard your investment, the PDU includes a dedicated sensor port. This allows for the connection of optional environmental sensors to monitor conditions such as temperature and humidity within the rack. By correlating power data with environmental data, you can prevent equipment failure caused by overheating and maintain an optimal operating environment for all your hardware. Visual alarm indicators on the control module provide immediate local alerts for conditions like overloads, ensuring that potential issues are identified and addressed swiftly.
