Product description
DK PDU metered, compact basic power distribution incl. energy measurement per phase, with network interface and display, WLD: 44x845x70 mm, IEC 60320: 12 x C13, 1 x C19
Metered energy measurement per phase is integrated in a compact PDU, delivering precise load visibility across infeed and individual phases. This translates into faster detection of voltage imbalance and targeted allocation of IT loads, reducing risk of equipment downtime and optimizing cooling strategies. The PDU supports vertical mounting in the zero-U space of VX IT or TS IT racks, enabling tool-free installation in constrained environments. A rotatable display and replaceable display/controller unit simplify on-site maintenance, while the rugged aluminium section with black anodised finish ensures durability in data centers. USB 2.0 (USB-A) supports mass configuration, firmware updates, and data logging, while a robust web server, SSH, Telnet, and NTP enable secure remote control and time synchronization. Options include Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters and residual current monitoring (type B), plus CAN bus sensors for ambient monitoring (up to 16 sensors) to enhance safety. Meets EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1; 230 V AC, 16 A, 3 m connection cable, and 12 x C13 / 1 x C19 outlets support simple installation and scalable monitoring in VX IT enclosure frames ≥ 1,200 mm.

FAQs
The DK 7979.210 PDU metered is designed for VX IT enclosure frames and similar 19" IT rack systems. It supports zero-U mounting in VX IT and TS IT racks, enabling tool-free installation in the vertical rack space. Its enclosure dimensions (44 mm wide, 70 mm deep, 845 mm long) align with standard VX IT frames, simplifying integration with existing architectures.
This metered PDU measures energy per phase or per infeed, delivering granular load data for each outlet group. The data supports balanced distribution, reduced peak demand, and targeted cooling strategies. With USB mass configuration and data logging, plus web-based access for ongoing monitoring, you can quantify savings, verify SLA targets, and justify capacity planning investments.
The DK PDU metered complies with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 safety standards, ensuring electromagnetic compatibility and safety for IT environments. CE marking further communicates conformity with essential requirements. These certifications help organizations meet regulatory obligations, reduce risk during audits, and bolster confidence in deploying this device across data centers and controlled facilities.
Install the DK 7979.210 in VX IT or TS IT racks using the zero-U mounting option for space efficiency. Connect to 230 V AC at up to 16 A using the 3 m CEE cable, with 12 x C13 and 1 x C19 outlets available. Use the USB-A port for mass configuration and firmware updates, and enable web/SSH/Telnet access for remote monitoring and time synchronization via NTP.
Metered PDUs enable per-phase visibility and proactive load balancing, which reduces risk of unexpected outages and improves cooling efficiency. The ability to log energy data and remotely configure the device lowers maintenance costs and supports data-driven capacity planning. Over time, this leads to lower energy bills, higher equipment availability, and a faster path to green IT initiatives.
