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. 2 PDU Types Features Basic Metered Monitored Switched ATS Hot-Swap PDUs PDUs PDUs PDUs PDUs PDUs (p. 4) (p. 5) (p. 6) (p. 7) (p. 8) (p. 8) Reliable Power Distribution Current Monitoring Network Interface Select Models Individual Outlet Control Select Models Automatic Transfer Switch Manual 1 2 Transfer Switch FIND IT FAST!

As data granularity increases, guesswork • Example: A UPS supporting sixteen network switches can decreases, and efficiency and system provide about twenty minutes of runtime during an reliability can increase. outage. After load shedding turns off twelve switches that • Example: If a PDU is near capacity, and a device connected to the PDU draws the majority of the power, it helps to know which device it is in order to better accommodate it without risking an overload. Outlet-level current monitoring can also reveal how much work a device does in relation to the energy it uses, confirming whether it would be more cost-effective to upgrade to a device that delivers more work value per watt. aren’t essential to core network functions, runtime expands to two hours for the remaining mission-critical switches.
