Product description
DK PDU switched, compact basic power distribution incl. energy measurement per phase, individually switchable output slots, with network interface and display, WLD: 44x1095x70mm, IEC 60 320: 16x C13 + 2x C19
Energy measurement per phase provides precise load insight, enabling accurate chargeback, peak-load management, and energy reporting for IT budgets. This feature supports IT governance and data-driven capacity planning, making it ideal for server rooms and VX IT enclosures. Individually switchable output slots allow selective power cycling and maintenance without disrupting other devices, reducing downtime and extending component life. Remote management is enabled by a fully redundant Ethernet interface with PoE and an onboard web server, enabling seamless integration with DCIM systems and environmental sensors for proactive alerts. The compact WLD footprint (44x1095x70 mm) supports zero-U mounting in VX IT frames, maximizing rack density while maintaining accessibility for cabling and maintenance. Overvoltage protection options and monitoring capabilities align with industry standards, improving safety while simplifying compliance audits. A rotatable 180° display and replaceable controller simplify on-site servicing, lowering maintenance costs and downtime in busy IT environments.

FAQs
Install the DK 7979.312 PDU in the VX IT frame’s zero-U space using its compact 44x1095x70 mm footprint. The package includes assembly parts and a 3 m input cable with CEE connector for tool-free mounting in compatible VX IT enclosures. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling and access to the rotatable display during maintenance.
The PDU operates at 230 V AC with a maximum current of 32 A and a power rating of 7.4 kW. It provides energy measurement per phase and includes 16 x C13 outlets plus 2 x C19 outlets, suitable for IT racks and mixed device loads. Cable length is 3 m, and the infeed is 1-phase, with a CEE connector gastromically matching rack power feeds.
Yes. The DK 7979.312 includes a fully redundant Ethernet interface (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) with 2x RJ45 and one PoE port, plus a web server supporting HTTP/HTTPS/SSL, SSH, Telnet, and NTP. Remote management includes per-phase energy data, sensor integration options, and the ability to log events for DCIM or ITSM workflows.
The PDU can be configured with Type 3 overvoltage protection and interchangeable arresters for operational protection. It complies with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 standards, and carries CE marking. These features help ensure safety, regulatory compliance, and interoperability within modern data centers and IT rooms.
The combination of per-phase energy monitoring, remote management, and zero-U mounting reduces energy waste and maintenance overhead. Replacing a controller or display on-site minimizes downtime, while centralized monitoring supports proactive capacity planning, improving ROI through energy savings, simplified compliance, and faster incident response in IT environments.
