Power Distribution

Panduit expansion modules and accessories provide additional power inputs without consuming network ports. Take your power-management strategy to the next level by supporting up to 18 power distribution units or power monitoring devices, extending the number of PDUs that can be connected through a single IP address.

Panduit intelligent connectivity and accessories give you the power to make intelligent choices. Our hardware assesses your mission-critical power infrastructure from every angle, putting you firmly in control of power quality, redundancy levels, and emergency backup.

Give your intelligent gateway-enabled rack PDU system the ability to connect to your network with the unique Panduit gateway infrastructure topology. By consolidating the monitoring and management of connected rack PDU devices and other devices through a single IP address, you’ll greatly simplify your network.

Panduit clamp meters capture basic power consumption data from basic rack PDUs by attaching directly to the live power cable without causing service interruption. Zero–rack unit inline meters capture aggregate power from basic PDUs by quickly installing between rack PDU power plugs and their primary power source with minimal downtime. And the one-rack unit inline meters mount to the rack and capture aggregate power from two individual basic PDUs.

How you deploy your PDUs makes a difference, both on the environment and on your bottom line. The Panduit power distribution unit offerings present you with a wide variety of options to customize your power profile. There are basic rack PDUs, including easy-to-mount vertical and horizontal power strips with built-in power meters and circuit breakers. Or you could opt for one of our intelligent rack PDUs, which are either network-enabled or gateway-enabled. Network-enabled rack PDUs feature remote switching capabilities to safely and efficiently manage and distribute power to installed equipment.

Gateway-enabled rack PDUs perform the same functions while employing a network gateway to provide local and remote monitoring of aggregate power and environmental and physical access data from a single IP address. The overall goal is to monitor and correct inefficiencies and reclaim underutilized power—doing that will reduce your costs and environmental footprint.

Don’t overlook the fundamentals. Energizing your active equipment in an efficient and reliable manner is a small but critical step in the process. Trust the wide selection of compatible standard and locking power cords from Panduit.
