Deployment / Use Cases
This metered input rack PDU is specifically designed for environments where power distribution needs to be both high-capacity and intelligently managed. Its 0U form factor makes it ideal for installation in standard 19-inch server racks without consuming valuable rack space that would otherwise be used for equipment.
Primary deployment scenarios include data centers, server rooms, and network closets where multiple devices require centralized power distribution with monitoring capabilities. The phase branch level metering is particularly valuable for IT teams managing power capacity across multiple racks or looking to optimize energy usage for cost savings and sustainability initiatives.
Data Center Power Distribution
Distribute 8.64 kW of three-phase power to servers, switches, and storage arrays within a single rack while monitoring consumption at the phase level to prevent overloads and balance loads effectively.
High-Density Server Environments
Support blade servers and other high-power-density equipment with sufficient outlet count and power capacity while maintaining secure access controls and reliable connection retention.
