Product description
DK PDU international, managed, high-end power distribution incl. energy measurement, switching and monitoring functions per output slot, with network interface and display, WLD: 44x1495x70 mm, IEC 60 320: 24x C13 + 6x C19
Energy measurement per output slot enables precise cost allocation and runtime optimization, translating to measurable energy savings and improved capacity planning for IT facilities. The business impact is clear: you can pinpoint high-demand outlets, enforce usage policies, and reduce cooling loads by streaming outlet-level data to your monitoring platform. In application, this is ideal for data centers and enterprise IT rooms where per-socket visibility drives efficiency and budget adherence. The DK 7979.436 PDU ships with a rotatable display/controller and a robust 3 m CEE input cable, improving on-site installation speed and reducing commissioning time in VX IT enclosure deployments. Network interface with 10/100/1000 Mbit/s (2x RJ45, 1x PoE) supports seamless remote management and firmware updates, while its 24x C13 and 6x C19 outlets deliver flexible power distribution for mixed IT loads. Optional overvoltage protection, residual current monitoring, and CAN bus sensors enable scalable, compliant safety and environmental monitoring for larger architectures. These capabilities address common objections by delivering a future-ready, serviceable platform that reduces maintenance overhead and enhances uptime.
