Quick Summary
Rittal DK 7979.202 PDU metered delivers per phase energy measurement for IT racks. Many data centers struggle to pinpoint where energy is consumed, hampering efficiency and uptime. It ships with CE conformity under EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 safety standards, plus a secure web interface for remote monitoring. The compact enclosure measures WLD 450x44x144 mm and integrates neatly into 19" racks, while the rotatable, replaceable display simplifies on-site configuration. With USB mass configuration, data logging, and optional CAN bus ambient sensors, operators gain actionable visibility to drive chargeback accuracy, reduce cooling energy, and meet compliance requirements. This PDU suits VX IT environments, offering zero-U mounting and scalable power management for growing IT workloads.
