Take Control of Your Power: The 32A 4-Outlet Smart Power Distribution Unit

In the world of high-density computing and critical industrial operations, power is everything. It’s not just about delivering electricity; it’s about delivering it with intelligence, reliability, and precision. Basic power strips are no longer sufficient for the demands of modern server racks, data centers, and automated machinery. You need a solution that provides not only distribution but also deep insight and robust control over your power environment. This is where the 32A 4-Outlet Smart Power Distribution Unit (PDU) sets a new standard for professional power management.

Designed for system administrators, IT professionals, and engineers who demand uncompromising performance, this rack-mountable PDU is the cornerstone of a stable and efficient infrastructure. It moves beyond simple power delivery, transforming a standard electrical connection into a managed, monitored, and optimized asset.

Intelligent Monitoring at a Glance and from Afar

A core feature of this Smart PDU is its ability to provide comprehensive, real-time power data. This is accomplished through two primary interfaces: a crystal-clear local LCD screen and a sophisticated remote management system.

On-the-Spot Local Display: Mounted directly on the unit is a bright, easy-to-read LCD screen that provides an immediate status check of your power environment. Without needing to log into a network, you can instantly see critical metrics:

• Voltage (U): Monitor the incoming voltage (e.g., 227.4V) to ensure it’s within the safe operating range for your sensitive equipment. This helps protect against damaging sags or surges.
• Current (I): Track the total amperage being drawn by all connected devices. This is crucial for load management and preventing overloads that could trip a circuit breaker, causing catastrophic downtime.
• Power (P): View the real-time power consumption in kilowatts (kW), giving you a precise understanding of your equipment’s energy usage at any given moment.
• Power Factor (PF): An indicator of electrical efficiency. The displayed PF of 1.000 signifies perfect efficiency, meaning all the power supplied is being effectively used by your hardware.
• Energy (E): See the cumulative energy consumed over time in kilowatt-hours (kWh). This data is invaluable for calculating operational costs, identifying power-hungry devices, and driving energy-saving initiatives.

Comprehensive Remote Management: The true “smart” capability is unlocked through its network connectivity. Equipped with RJ45 “NET” ports, this PDU integrates seamlessly into your existing network. Once connected, system administrators can:

• Monitor Remotely: Access all the power metrics from a web-based dashboard from anywhere in the world.
• Set Up Alerts: Configure thresholds for voltage, current, or power. If these limits are breached, the PDU can send out automated alerts via email or SNMP traps, allowing you to address potential issues before they become critical failures.
• Daisy-Chain Multiple Units: The “IN” and “OUT” network ports allow you to link multiple PDUs together. This means you can manage an entire rack’s worth of PDUs—or even multiple racks—from a single IP address, conserving valuable ports on your network switches.
• Firmware and Configuration: A dedicated serial port (SER) and USB port provide reliable options for initial setup, direct console access, and firmware upgrades, ensuring the PDU remains secure and up-to-date.

Engineered for Demanding Environments

Powering mission-critical equipment requires a device built for durability and safety. This Smart PDU is constructed to meet and exceed the rigorous demands of any professional setting.

• High-Capacity Power: With a Rated Voltage of 230V and a robust Rated Current of 32A, this unit is built to handle high-density loads. It can comfortably power multiple servers, storage arrays, and network switches simultaneously, making it an ideal choice for blade server chassis or fully populated racks.
• Superior Build Quality: The chassis is forged from a tough, lightweight Aluminum Alloy shell. This material not only provides exceptional physical protection but also acts as an excellent heat sink, helping to dissipate warmth and maintain optimal operating temperatures within a crowded rack.
• Uncompromising Safety: The sockets are made from an Uninflammable PC module with a UL94V-0 rating. This is the highest standard for fire safety in plastics, certifying that the material will self-extinguish within 10 seconds after being exposed to a direct flame. This commitment to safety is further validated by a suite of international certifications, including CE, RoHS, and ETL, ensuring compliance with European safety standards, restrictions on hazardous materials, and safety approvals for North America.

Seamless Integration and Versatile Application

Designed with practicality in mind, this Smart Power Distribution Unit integrates effortlessly into standard IT and industrial infrastructure.

• Standard 1U Rack-Mount Design: With dimensions of 486 x 120 x 44.5mm, the unit is perfectly sized for a standard 19-inch server rack, occupying just 1U of vertical space. This allows for easy installation alongside the very equipment it is designed to power and protect.
• Versatile Outlets: The PDU features four universal-style sockets, providing secure and reliable connections for a variety of plug types commonly found on IT hardware.
• Wide Range of Applications: While perfect for data centers, its robust design makes it suitable for a multitude of applications, including:
  • Industrial Automation: Powering control systems and machinery on the factory floor.
  • Telecommunications Hubs: Ensuring reliable uptime for network and communication equipment.
  • Electronics Labs and R&D: Providing clean, monitored power for testing and development.
  • Outdoor and Electric Power Transmission: Its durable construction lends itself to use in more challenging environments where reliability is paramount.
