Rittal 7979318 PDU Switched - Energy Measurement

Per-phase energy measurement provides granular load visibility, enabling precise balancing and energy reporting across IT racks, and it supports compliance with energy-use dashboards and sustainability goals. This capability drives measurable efficiency gains, supports accurate capacity planning, and simplifies utilization audits for data centers under growth pressure. Application: deploy in VX IT frames with 18x C13 plus 2x C19 outlets to monitor real-time phase loads and distribute power where it’s most needed. Individually switchable output slots give you targeted control over connected devices, enabling prioritization of critical loads during maintenance windows. Business impact: reduces standby and idle power, lowers cooling demand, speeds safe maintenance with staged disconnections, and minimizes ripple effects on overall server performance. Application: tailor power sequencing to critical servers, storage, and networking gear, while keeping nonessential equipment powered for maintenance windows only, reducing downtime risk. Rotatable display and replaceable controller module simplify commissioning and serviceability, enabling quick on-site adjustments without full enclosure removal. Impact: faster fault diagnostics, easier firmware updates, and minimal downtime during replacements, which translates to higher equipment uptime. Application: position the display for optimal viewing in diverse rack layouts, and swap the controller module without a full enclosure service, preserving rack integrity. Networked resilience through a fully redundant Ethernet interface with PoE and optional CAN bus ambient sensors enables scalable remote monitoring across multiple racks and rooms. Impact: robust data collection, secure access, and proactive environmental control, with continuous operation during network maintenance. Application: integrate with data center management tools, NTP time, SSL-enabled dashboards, and ambient sensors for compliance and operational intelligence. Compact dimensions (W 44 mm, D 70 mm, L 1,095 mm) and VX IT compatibility support space-efficient installation in dense rack environments, delivering clean cable routing and improved airflow. Impact: maximized rack density, simplified retrofits, and minimal disruption during upgrade projects, with straightforward tool-less mounting in standard VX IT frames. Application: fits IT racks with zero-U mounting in constrained data center footprints.
