INTRODUCTION
Tripp Lite Rack PDUs increase the availability, efficiency and
manageability of equipment in data centers and other
high-density IT environments. More than 100 vertical (0U)
and horizontal (1U or 2U) models are available, divided
into several types with distinct features and benefits.
Basic PDUs
• Provide Reliable Power Distribution to multiple devices from a UPS system,
generator or utility (mains) source.
Metered PDUs
• Provide all Basic PDU features, plus digital LED meters that provide local
Current Monitoring to enable load balancing and help prevent overloads.
Monitored PDUs
• Provide all Metered PDU features, plus an Ethernet Network Interface for
remote monitoring and control from any location.
• Send automated alerts to help IT managers prevent accidental overloads,
power loss and downtime.
Switched PDUs
• Provide all Monitored PDU features, plus Individual Outlet Control.
• Eliminate costly site visits by remotely rebooting malfunctioning devices.
• Increase runtime of critical systems by automatically turning off nonessential
equipment during extended power outages.
ATS PDUs
• Provide all Metered or Switched PDU features, plus dual AC inputs
and an Automatic Transfer Switch to provide redundant power to
single-cord devices that do not have redundant power supplies.
Hot-Swap PDUs
• Include dual AC inputs and a Manual Transfer Switch to allow
hot-swappable replacement of compatible UPS systems up to 3 kVA
without interrupting power to connected equipment.
