OIT 16-Socket Smart Power Distribution Unit: Intelligent Power for Mission-Critical Operations

In today’s data-driven world, maintaining operational uptime and ensuring the health of critical IT infrastructure is paramount. Unmanaged power can lead to catastrophic failures, equipment damage, and costly downtime. The 16-Socket Smart Power Distribution Unit (PDU) from OIT is engineered to address these challenges head-on, delivering intelligent, reliable, and highly secure power distribution for the most demanding environments. This advanced PDU combines high-density output, robust surge protection, and sophisticated remote management capabilities into a sleek, rack-mountable form factor, making it the definitive power solution for modern data centers, server rooms, and industrial facilities.

Advanced Power Intelligence with a Remotely Pluggable Module

At the heart of this Smart Power Distribution Unit is its innovative Remotely Pluggable Intelligent Module. This powerful command center provides granular insight and control over your power consumption, transforming a standard power strip into a strategic asset for infrastructure management.

Comprehensive Real-Time Monitoring

The module features a crystal-clear LCD screen that displays critical power metrics at a glance, eliminating guesswork and enabling proactive management. Key data points include:

• Voltage (V): Monitor incoming voltage to ensure it remains within safe operating parameters for your sensitive equipment.
• Current (A): Track the total current draw of all connected devices in real-time. The display prominently shows the aggregate load, helping you prevent circuit overloads before they occur.
• Power (kW): Understand your active power consumption, a crucial metric for calculating energy efficiency and data center PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness).
• Energy Consumption (kWh): Keep a running tally of total energy usage over time. This data is invaluable for capacity planning, cost allocation, and identifying opportunities for energy savings.
• Environmental Data: The dedicated sensor port allows for the integration of environmental probes (sold separately) to monitor conditions like temperature and humidity within the rack. The display is capable of showing these readings, helping you prevent equipment failure due to overheating.

Intuitive onboard controls, including MENU, UP, and DOWN buttons, allow for easy local configuration and navigation through display menus. Status LEDs for RUN and ALM (Alarm) provide immediate visual feedback on the PDU’s operational state.

Sophisticated Remote Management and Connectivity

True intelligence comes from the ability to manage your infrastructure from anywhere, at any time. This Smart PDU is equipped with a comprehensive suite of connectivity options:

• Network Port (NET): An integrated Ethernet port allows the PDU to connect directly to your local network. This enables secure remote access via a web-based GUI, SNMP, or other network protocols. Administrators can remotely monitor all power metrics, configure alerts, and even control individual outlets without needing to be physically present.
• Serial Connectivity (RS485): The inclusion of RS485 ports provides robust serial communication, ideal for industrial control systems and for daisy-chaining multiple PDUs together. This allows you to manage an entire row of racks from a single master unit or integrate the PDU into existing building management systems (BMS).
• Sensor Port: Go beyond power monitoring. The dedicated sensor port allows you to connect environmental sensors for temperature, humidity, airflow, and more. This transforms the PDU into a complete rack environment monitoring solution.

High-Density and Reliable Power Distribution

Designed for efficiency and scalability, this PDU provides ample connectivity in a space-saving vertical design.

• 16 German Schuko Sockets: The unit is equipped with 16 high-quality, standard-grounding Schuko outlets, providing sufficient connections for a fully-loaded server rack.
• High Power Capacity: With a rated current of 63A and a rated voltage of 250V, this PDU is built to handle high-load equipment, including blade servers, network switches, and storage arrays. Its robust internal wiring and components ensure stable and reliable power delivery under heavy use.
• Vertical Zero-U Mounting: The slim, vertical design allows the PDU to be mounted in the side or rear of a server rack without occupying valuable horizontal rack space (Zero-U). This preserves precious room for servers and other IT hardware.

Multi-Layered Equipment Protection

Protecting your investment is non-negotiable. This Smart Power Distribution Unit integrates multiple layers of protection to safeguard connected devices from a wide range of power-related threats.

Advanced Surge Protective Device (SPD)

An integrated Surge Protective Device offers superior protection against electrical surges and voltage spikes caused by lightning strikes or utility grid fluctuations. This feature is critical for preserving the longevity and integrity of sensitive electronic components. Clear status indicator lights provide instant confirmation of the PDU’s status:

• POWER: Confirms that the unit is receiving input power.
• SURGE: Indicates that the surge protection circuitry is active and functioning correctly.
• GROUND: Verifies that the PDU is properly grounded, a fundamental requirement for both safety and effective surge protection.

Individual Overload Protection

As noted in its function attributes, the PDU features individual overload protection. This intelligent design prevents a single malfunctioning or power-hungry device from tripping the entire circuit and causing an outage for all other connected equipment.

Built for Durability and Global Compliance

Manufactured in Guangdong, this PDU is constructed with industrial-grade materials to withstand the rigors of the data center environment. Its durable chassis ensures long-term reliability. To guarantee its suitability for global deployment, the unit holds a comprehensive set of certifications, including:

• CE, UL, RoHS, CETL: These certifications affirm that the product meets stringent international standards for safety, performance, and environmental responsibility, including the restriction of hazardous substances.

With support for OEM & ODM, the unit can be customized to meet specific branding, feature, or integration requirements, offering unparalleled flexibility for large-scale deployments.
