PDUs come in three functional classes. Basic units are power strips in rack form — reliable and inexpensive. Metered PDUs add a current display (locally or over the network) so you can see load against circuit capacity before adding equipment. Switched PDUs add per-outlet control: remotely power-cycle a hung server or shed load without a site visit, which pays for itself the first time it saves a 2 AM drive to a remote rack.
Match input plug and voltage to your circuit (5-15P/5-20P for 120V, L6-30P and others for 208V) and the outlet mix (C13/C19) to your equipment cords. Dual-PSU equipment deserves two PDUs on independent feeds — A/B power — so a single circuit failure takes nothing down. We stock APC, Tripp Lite, and comparable brands in vertical (0U) and horizontal formats.
Metered PDUs show power draw so you can manage circuit loading; switched PDUs additionally let you turn individual outlets on/off remotely — invaluable for remote or lights-out sites.
C13 powers most servers and switches (up to ~10A per cord); C19 serves high-draw equipment like large chassis, blade enclosures, and some UPS units. Most racks need predominantly C13 with a few C19.
Two PDUs fed from independent circuits, with each dual-PSU device plugged into both. Either feed can fail — breaker trip, UPS fault, maintenance — without any equipment losing power.
