Technology for critical infrastructure

The final connection between power and IT equipment.

A rack PDU must match the upstream circuit, plug type, outlet count, equipment load and A/B redundancy concept. Intelligent variants add measurements, alarms and remote control.

Correct outlet layout and cable organization reduce connection errors and help maintain balanced loading.

01

Safe distribution

Protection and outlets matched to the electrical circuit and connected equipment.

02

Load visibility

Current, voltage, power and energy data depending on the selected PDU.

03

Remote management

Network monitoring and outlet control in intelligent variants.

04

Rack integration

Vertical or horizontal mounting and outlet layouts suited to equipment.

Solution families

Select the architecture for the actual application.

The final configuration is confirmed after reviewing capacity, installation conditions, required availability and future expansion.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ: PDU Units

What is the difference between monitored and intelligent PDUs?+

Monitored units provide electrical data; intelligent variants may additionally offer outlet-level measurement or switching.

Should a rack use two PDUs?+

Dual-cord equipment commonly uses A/B feeds, but the architecture depends on the required availability.

Can three-phase PDUs be used?+

Yes. Single- and three-phase configurations are available for different rack loads.

Can a PDU integrate with DCIM?+

Network-capable models can provide data to a management platform using supported protocols.

How many outlets are required?+

Count current devices, power-supply feeds and growth reserve, while also checking outlet positions and cable paths.
