FAQs
The DK 7979.415 PDU supports vertical mounting in VX IT frames and can be positioned in the zero-U space with compatible mounting angles. Ensure the 3 m CEE input cable reaches the enclosure feed and that the 24 C13 / 4 C19 outlets align with front-access power needs. Verify clearance for the rotatable display and network interface to maintain serviceability.
Per-output energy measurement provides visibility down to individual sockets, enabling precise chargeback, capacity planning, and anomaly detection. In practice, you can identify undersized servers or rogue workloads, optimize workload placement, and demonstrate energy compliance to stakeholders, all while supporting proactive maintenance and reduced data center cooling costs.
Yes. The DK 7979.415 PDU aligns with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1, with CE-marking for EU compliance. Optional protection features and monitoring interfaces further support regulatory requirements in data centers, while the robust enclosure and fault-tolerant Ethernet interfaces contribute to operational safety and reliability.
Input uses a 3 m CEE cable fed by a 230 V supply with a 16 A rating, supporting 1 infeed. The outputs are 24x C13 and 4x C19, providing flexible power distribution for mixed IT equipment. The device also offers fully redundant Ethernet (2x RJ45) and one PoE-capable port for network power and web server operations.
ROI stems from reduced energy waste, improved uptime, and streamlined remote management. Per-output metering enables accurate chargeback and capacity planning, while environment monitoring and optional overvoltage protection minimize unplanned outages. The rotatable display and replaceable controller lower maintenance time, and the CAN-bus sensor option supports predictive maintenance strategies.
