Product Description
It is easy to use with well documented HTTP API, SSH/Telnet commands, and SNMP API. Any third-party application can utilize APIs to control and examine the power measurements that the PDU has gathered. Examples are included in the thorough documentation for each API request to help you get started right away.
It has enough outlets for a small mine and can deliver up to 20A of electricity in a small package. It has a sturdy, all-metal housing made to survive the harshest conditions. With a precision of 0.1A, each individual outlet can measure up to 20A.When equipment shuts off; you can set low-level thresholds on outlet-level power readings to send email warnings.
When all else fails, built-in network watchdogs make sure the PDU stays online. There is to prevent expensive truck rolls, sensors behind each relay guarantee reliable relay performance in the field.
It enables you to configure automation and control (ON/OFF) by feeding up to two AC or DC signals. With the user-friendly built-in web interface, you can effortlessly control the relays. Signals up to 125VAC/24VDC/3A can be switched using it.

FAQs
What is the difference between a PDU and a UPS?****
A power distribution unit (PDU) provides several devices with dependable network power. It just provides servers, networking hardware, telecom equipment, and other devices with AC power from an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a generator, or a utility power source. It does not produce or condition power.
What is PDU and how IT works?****
A PDU, also known as a power distribution unit, provides continuous network power to several devices. Instead of conditioning or producing power, a PDU transmits AC power from a utility power source, a UPS, or a generator to networking hardware, servers, telecom equipment, and other vital devices.
Is a PDU the same as a surge protector?****
PDUs do not have surge protection, to be clear.
How many types of PDU are there?****
Rack PDUs come in four different varieties:
Simple rack PDU. PDU for metered rack. Rack PDU was observed. Changing rack
PDU.
What does a PDU look like?****
Additionally known as a “power distribution unit,” PDU A standard power distribution unit has many outlets and resembles a power strip, but it also has electrical parts that make sure that each outlet receives an equal amount of voltage. They are frequently employed in data centers to deliver dependable power to linked servers.
Can I plug a UPS into a PDU?****
PDUs are designed to connect to a UPS. They lack surge protection, frequently have only breakers as switches and their feed connectors are not designed to break under load. Not only can you plug it directly into a UPS, but it was designed with a UPS plug in mind.
What do you plug a PDU into?****
Each PDU input cord connects to a separate UPS, power supply from a utility, or generator. The PDU provides an independent power source for each power supply while distributing power to equipment with redundant power supplies.
How do you monitor PDU?****
Using the PDU online interface or the IBM PDU Configuration Utility, you can locally or remotely check the power status of any connected device. To keep track of the PDU’s and its load groups’ energy usage, you can also use IBM Systems Director Active Energy Manager.
How long are PDUs valid?****
PDUs, which have a three-year expiration window, are required to renew certification.
What is inside a PDU?****
Standalone cabinet PDUs are self-contained units that have power monitoring panels, main circuit breakers, and individual circuit breakers. Internal bus bars for neutral and ground are provided by the cabinet. Top and bottom panels with prepunched holes allow for secure cable entrance.
What is a PDU vs power strip?****
With the addition of options for power type and amount, outlet / inlet types, and more safety requirements, a basic PDU is similar to a standard power strip. However, PDUs are also available with Intelligent features (Intelligent PDU / iPDU), which feature much more control & monitoring options over attached devices.
Why do we need a PDU?****
The electrical power in a data center can be managed by a power distribution unit (PDU). Large power strips without surge protection are the most basic PDUs. They are not intended for monitoring or remote access; instead, they are made to offer ordinary electrical outlets for data center equipment.
Is PDU necessary?****
A rack-mount power distribution unit (PDU) or power strip is required to supply power to devices in almost every Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) equipment rack used to support and safeguard storage, compute, or network equipment.
Is a PDU a battery?****
PDUs just transfer electricity. They don’t produce it. UPSs are essentially server rack backup batteries. They offer comprehensive protection against power quality issues and backup power in the event of an outage.
