Smart Power Distribution Unit for Server Rack Cabinet

The Pinnacle of Power Management for Mission-Critical Environments

In the world of high-density computing, where every watt counts and uptime is non-negotiable, a standard power strip is simply not enough. Today’s data centers, server rooms, and specialized computing operations demand intelligence, reliability, and granular control over their power infrastructure. Introducing the definitive solution for modern IT professionals: the Smart Power Distribution Unit (PDU), meticulously engineered to provide advanced power monitoring, robust distribution, and unparalleled operational continuity for your most valuable assets.

This rack-mounted PDU is more than just a power source; it is the central nervous system of your cabinet’s power ecosystem. Designed for seamless integration into any standard 19-inch server rack, its durable aluminum alloy chassis provides a foundation of strength and superior heat dissipation, ensuring reliable performance under the most demanding conditions.

Unmatched Intelligence with a Hot-Swappable IP Meter

The core of this PDU’s advanced capability lies in its intelligent, hot-swappable IP meter. This sophisticated module is the brain of the operation, offering comprehensive remote monitoring and management features that empower administrators with complete visibility and control.

Real-Time, Comprehensive Metering: The bright, clear LCD screen on the module provides an at-a-glance status of all critical power metrics, including:

• Voltage (V): Monitor incoming voltage to ensure it’s within safe operating parameters for your sensitive equipment.
• Current (A): Track the total current draw of all connected devices in real-time to prevent overloads and trip conditions.
• Power (kW): Understand the actual power consumption of your rack, enabling accurate capacity planning and energy cost allocation.
• Energy Consumption (kWh): Accumulate energy usage data over time for trend analysis, efficiency initiatives, and billing purposes.
• Power Factor (PF): Gauge the efficiency of your power usage, a critical metric for optimizing data center power infrastructure.

Network-Enabled Remote Management: Through its integrated network ports, this Smart Power Distribution Unit connects directly to your network. This enables powerful remote management capabilities via a standard web browser, SNMP, or other network management protocols. Administrators can securely log in from anywhere in the world to view real-time data, configure alerts for threshold breaches (e.g., high current draw or temperature), and make informed decisions without needing to be physically present at the rack. The dual RJ45 ports (IN/OUT) also support daisy-chaining, allowing you to link multiple PDUs together and manage them through a single IP address, simplifying network infrastructure and reducing the number of required switch ports.

Zero-Downtime Maintenance: One of the most revolutionary features is the hot-swappable design of the IP meter. In the unlikely event that the monitoring module needs maintenance or replacement, it can be safely removed and swapped without interrupting the flow of power to the outlets. This means your critical servers, switches, and storage arrays remain online and operational. This zero-downtime capability is essential for mission-critical environments where service continuity is paramount.

Versatile and Secure Power Output

This PDU is built to accommodate the diverse power needs of a fully-loaded server rack. It offers a high-density mix of industry-standard outlets to connect a wide array of IT equipment.

• High-Density IEC C13 Outlets: With configurations offering up to 28 individual IEC C13 outlets (rated at 10A), this unit provides ample connections for standard rack-mount servers, network switches, and other IT hardware.
• High-Amperage IEC C19 Outlets: The inclusion of multiple IEC C19 outlets (rated at 16A) is crucial for powering high-draw equipment like blade server chassis, large network switches, and storage arrays that require more power than a standard C13 can deliver.
• Optional Locking Outlets: To eliminate the risk of accidental disconnection due to vibration or human error, an optional locking mechanism is available for the IEC C13 outlets. This feature provides a secure physical connection, ensuring that critical power cords remain firmly in place.

This flexibility in output options ensures that you can power your entire rack infrastructure, from low-power network gear to the most power-hungry computing platforms, all from a single, intelligently managed unit.

Uncompromising Safety and Reliability

Engineered for 24/7 operation, every component of this Smart Power Distribution Unit is designed with safety and long-term reliability in mind.

• Robust Circuit Breaker Protection: The PDU is protected by an integrated, high-quality circuit breaker. This essential safety device guards against overcurrent conditions, immediately cutting power to prevent damage to the PDU and connected equipment, and reducing the risk of electrical hazards.
• Durable Aluminum Alloy Construction: The chassis is not just for looks. The sturdy aluminum alloy construction provides exceptional rigidity and protects the internal components, while also acting as an effective heat sink to maintain optimal operating temperatures.
• Certified for Quality and Compliance: This PDU meets stringent international standards, holding CE, RoHS, and SAA certifications. These endorsements guarantee compliance with safety, environmental, and quality regulations, giving you confidence in its design and construction.
• High-Power Input: Designed to handle significant power loads, the unit is available in 16A and 32A configurations, fed by a heavy-duty power cord with an industrial-grade IEC 60309 plug. This ensures a stable and secure connection to the facility’s power source.

Beyond Power: Environmental Monitoring

A healthy data center environment is about more than just stable power. The dedicated sensor port (T/H) allows for the connection of optional temperature and humidity probes. By integrating environmental monitoring directly into the PDU, you gain a holistic view of your rack’s health. Set thresholds to receive alerts if temperatures rise to dangerous levels, allowing you to proactively address cooling issues before they lead to equipment failure.

The Ultimate Power Solution

Whether you are managing an enterprise data center, a colocation facility, a local server room, or a power-intensive cryptocurrency mining operation, this Smart Power Distribution Unit is the intelligent choice. It combines versatile, high-density power distribution with advanced remote monitoring, superior safety features, and a commitment to operational uptime. Backed by a 3-year warranty, it is a critical investment in the stability, efficiency, and security of your IT infrastructure.
