Yes. The product complies with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and conforms to EN 62368-1 for safe IT power distribution. This ensures CE marking for regulatory compliance in European markets and aligns the unit with recognized safety and equipment standards for data-center and telecom deployments.
Zero-U mounting permits vertical installation without consuming rack height, freeing up valuable space for active equipment. It reduces cabling complexity by placing power distribution in the frame’s empty space, improves airflow, and simplifies maintenance access. This approach is particularly advantageous in VX IT and TS IT environments where rack real estate is precious.
An optional Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters is available, including status monitoring for quick fault detection. These features provide enhanced protection for sensitive IT gear and simplify integration into PDU enclosures, ensuring regulatory compliance and robust power protection in data centers and network closets.
