Quick Summary
Rittal DK 7979.315 PDU is a high-end power distribution unit for IT racks that provides per-phase energy measurement and individually switchable outlets. This solution directly addresses the common pain point of limited visibility into rack power usage and unbalanced loads, which can complicate capacity planning and fault isolation. The unit complies with CE marking, EN 62368-1 safety standards, and the EMC Directive, helping you meet essential regulatory requirements. In addition to precise metering, a network interface and rotatable display support remote monitoring and fast, informed decision-making, while VX IT mounting compatibility reduces installation time. The result is scalable, reliable rack power management that drives operational efficiency and lower energy costs in data centers and enterprise IT environments.

FAQs
The DK PDU switched is designed for VX IT enclosure frames and supports zero-U mounting. Install by aligning the enclosure rails, sliding the PDU into the frame, securing with provided assembly parts, connecting the 3 m CEE input cable, and configuring the network settings via the rotatable display or web interface. Ensure the load does not exceed 16 A per phase and verify proper outlet sequencing for your critical devices.
It provides per-phase energy measurement and individual outlet switching, enabling precise visibility into load distribution and targeted power management. This helps balance rack power, prevent outages, and support chargeback or energy accounting in data centers. The combination of metering, remote control, and compact form factor is ideal for high-density IT environments.
Yes. The product carries CE marking and complies with EN 62368-1 safety standards as well as the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. This ensures regulatory alignment for IT environments and helps meet safety and emissions requirements in many regions, reducing compliance risk for your deployments.
Absolutely. The PDU features a fully redundant Ethernet interface (2x RJ45, 1x PoE) and a built-in web server supporting HTTP, HTTPS, and SSL, plus SSH and Telnet for advanced access. This enables secure remote monitoring, sequential disconnection of outputs, and centralized power management across multiple racks.
The unit supports Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters, residual current measurement per infeed/phase/fuse, and CAN bus sensors for ambient monitoring. These options enhance safety, enable detailed environmental sensing, and improve compliance with monitoring requirements in complex IT and data center ecosystems.
