  • Intelligent Individual Control PDU Power Strip

    Intelligent Individual Control PDU Power Strip

    Raritan intelligent PDUs (iPDUs) allow you to control the power of a single PDU or a group of PDUs, down to the individual outlets. Instead, you can manually or programmatically power your intelligent PDUs. With up to 21 intelligent programmable breakers with a rating up to 125 amps, the SMART PDU I- type, with its 1U design, is compact, hot swappable, and built to meet safety standards. Grow your network, not your headaches. The range consists of four models offering various levels of power monitoring and power switching features, and can be manufactured as single, dual or 3-Phase with a choice of socket types and mains lead. Smart PDU I-Type is a compact 1U DC distribution with intelligent plug-in breakers suitable for applications where individual power and energy monitoring is required for each breaker output. They distribute power from a single input to multiple outputs but lack any form of metering, monitoring, or remote management capabilities. Unlike basic PDUs, you don't need to be physically present in the facility.
