Power Distributions Units(
PDU
)
are
designed to distribute power
to IT equipment installed into a rack. These PDUs are single-phase (1Ph) or three-
phase (3Ph) models with electrical metering and switching capabilities.
Each PDU provides power distribution to IT loads through C13, C19 outlets. The
quantity and location of outlets vary by model. The PDUs allow you to connect and
manage these outlets from a single power connection. The PDUs can be managed
from a Web interface, or a Command Line Interface (CLI), and viewed from the local
display.
Panduit PDUs are designed for use with all Panduit cabinets and are compatible
with most third-party data center racks. The PDU models vary in form factor with
several mounting configurations available.
Panduit Monitored PDU:
Provides aggregate power monitoring to quickly identify
potential power issues and reclaim available or under-utilized power capacity.
Panduit Switched PDU:
Provides aggregate power monitoring and outlet level
switching capabilities for individual outlets or a group of outlets. This PDU enables
power sequencing, rebooting equipment or restrict unauthorized use of individual
outlets.
Panduit Monitored per Outlet PDU
: Provides outlet-level power monitoring to
quickly identify potential power issues and reclaim available or under-utilized power
capacity at the outlet level.
