PDU Basic Power Distribution Unit
A PDU (power distribution unit) is an essential device for distributing electrical power to multiple devices in data centers, server rooms and industrial environments. Our PDUs come in various designs, varying in size and number of outputs. Whether you need a basic PDU unit for simple power distribution or an advanced, intelligent PDU for detailed energy management, we have the right solution.
Each rack PDU we offer is designed for mounting in 19" data racks, both horizontally and vertically. This makes them ideal for use in server rooms and data centers, where space efficiency is crucial. Our power distribution units are equipped with innovative technologies such as IEX outlets which are suitable for both C13 and C19 connectors, offering flexibility and convenience.
In addition to standard PDUs, we also offer tailor-made solutions. We understand that no two projects are the same, which is why we can customize PDUs to your specific requirements. Whether it concerns a certain number of outputs, specific current strengths or smart functions such as remote monitoring and energy consumption measuring, we can design the perfect PDU unit for your situation.
We also have PDUs that are equipped with surge protection, which provides protection against current peaks and voltage peaks. This is crucial for protecting sensitive equipment and minimizing downtime in critical environments. With a wide range of cords and accessories, we can provide a complete solution for all your power distribution needs.

IPDU Intelligent Power Distribution Unit
An Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (iPDU), also known as a Smart PDU or Intelligent PDU, is a critical component in modern data center infrastructure. iPDUs serve as a centralized power management solution that enhances the efficiency, reliability, and monitoring capabilities of power distribution within data center environments.
The primary function of an Intelligent rack PDU is to distribute power to various IT equipment housed within server cabinets or racks. However, unlike traditional Power Distribution Units (PDUs), an iPDU goes beyond basic power delivery by incorporating intelligent features and network connectivity, allowing for real-time monitoring, management, and control of power consumption.
One of the key advantages of an iPDU is its ability to provide remote access to critical power-related data. Through integrated network interfaces, data center administrators can remotely monitor power usage, environmental conditions, and overall energy infrastructure performance. This remote monitoring capability empowers administrators to make informed decisions, proactively identify potential issues, and optimize energy efficiency.
Furthermore, iPDUs offers advanced features such as metering and switching capabilities, which allow for granular control and management of power distribution. A Metered Intelligent PDU provides detailed insights into power consumption at different levels, including inlet-level and outlet-level metering. This level of granularity enables administrators to accurately track energy usage, identify power anomalies, and optimize capacity planning.
Switched Intelligent rack PDUs, on the other hand, offers additional functionality by allowing administrators to remotely control power outlets. This feature enables selective power cycling of individual devices or groups of devices, helping to troubleshoot issues, perform maintenance tasks, and improve overall system reliability. Additionally, switched iPDUs can support power scheduling and sequencing, ensuring that critical equipment receives power in a predetermined order to prevent overload or power surges.
Intelligent PDUs can also be equipped with environmental sensors, which monitor factors such as temperature, humidity, and airflow within the data center environment. These sensors provide valuable insights into environmental conditions, helping administrators to maintain optimal operating conditions, prevent equipment overheating, and extend the lifespan of IT infrastructure.
In summary, Intelligent PDUs play a crucial role in modern data center management by providing enhanced visibility, control, and efficiency in rack power distribution. By leveraging intelligent features such as remote monitoring, metering, switching, and environmental sensing, an Intelligent PDU enables data center administrators to optimize energy usage, minimize downtime, and ensure the reliability of mission-critical operations.
