Product description
DK PDU managed, high-end power distribution incl. energy measurement, switching and monitoring functions per output slot, with network interface and display, WLD: 44x1095x70 mm, IEC 60 320: 6x C13 + 6x C19
Energy measurement per output slot enables precise consumption visibility and outlet-level fault isolation, driving targeted energy-saving initiatives and capacity planning. Business impact: reduced energy waste and improved budgeting accuracy; application: IT rack deployments in data centers where per-outlet control is required. The PDU provides 6x C13 and 6x C19 sockets powered from a 400 V AC, 16 A, 11 kW supply, supporting high-density IT loads with compact 44x1095x70 mm footprint. Business impact: maximize rack density while maintaining thermal and electrical safety; application: VX IT enclosure-based racks. The rotatable 180° display/controller, replaceable unit, and six-outlet monitoring deliver installation flexibility and straightforward maintenance. Business impact: faster commissioning and reduced downtime; application: challenging space configurations. Fully redundant Ethernet interfaces (2x RJ45, 1x PoE) plus web server, SSH, Telnet, and NTP enable resilient remote management and secure access. Business impact: continuous monitoring and quicker issue resolution; application: centralized IT power governance across campuses. Optional Type 3 overvoltage protection, inter-changeable arresters, residual current measurement (type B), CAN bus ambient sensors, and color options tailor protection and monitoring. Business impact: enhanced safety, regulatory compliance, and system visibility; application: mission-critical data centers and compliant rack farms.

FAQs
The DK 7979.432 PDU is designed for VX IT enclosures with zero-U mounting options and straightforward insertion into compatible frames. The unit features a rotatable 180° display/controller and replaceable components, enabling tool-free maintenance in tight rack spaces. Use the 3 m CEE input cable to connect to a 400 V supply and connect the six C13 and six C19 outputs to IT equipment. Ensure proper clearance for cooling and verify network interface connections (2x RJ45, 1x with PoE) for remote management.
DK 7979.432 offers energy measurement and monitoring for each output slot, enabling outlet-level visibility and control. The PDU supports per-outlet switching, a PDU web server via PoE, and comprehensive monitoring via its network interface. This allows you to track power usage, set thresholds, and rapidly identify overloaded outlets, reducing energy waste and improving capacity planning for IT racks.
Yes. With 400 V AC, 16 A per inlet, 11 kW total capacity, and 6x C13 plus 6x C19 outlets, the PDU is built for high-density server environments. Its energy management functions, dual Ethernet interfaces, and optional overvoltage protection/RCM options support robust, scalable deployments in data centers and server rooms, while compatibility with VX IT enclosures simplifies integration into existing rack ecosystems.
