Quick Summary
Rittal PDU metered+ provides IT rack power distribution with energy measurement per output slot for data centers and server rooms. Engineers frequently lack visibility into per-outlet loads, hindering capacity planning and proactive risk management. CE marking under EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 safety compliance support reliable operation in demanding IT environments. This PDU integrates with VX IT rack ecosystems, enabling zero-U mounting and scalable, per-slot energy visibility across the data center. Network connectivity and USB mass-configuration simplify deployment, firmware updates, and ongoing cost control through centralized monitoring.

FAQs
For DK 7979.504 installation, mount the unit in the VX IT enclosure frame (≥800 mm) using zero-U mounting where applicable. Connect the 3 m CEE input power cable to a suitable 230 V supply and attach the 4 x C13 and 2 x C19 outlets to protected loads. Use the USB port for mass configuration and ensure network access for monitoring.
Per-outlet energy measurement provides real-time load data for every connected device, enabling precise energy budgeting, peak-load management, and capacity planning. This granular visibility reduces the risk of overloading single outlets, supports accurate billing, and helps justify upgrade cycles or reconfiguration to optimize uptime and efficiency.
Yes. The PDU offers an option to connect CMC III CAN bus sensors for ambient monitoring, with support for up to 16 sensors. This expands environmental visibility alongside electrical metrics, aiding cooling optimization and environmental compliance in data center environments.
The DK 7979.504 PDU metered+ complies with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and safety standard EN 62368-1, with CE marking. These certifications help ensure reliable operation in commercial IT settings and align with industry best practices for electrical and information technology equipment.
The per-slot energy data enables accurate consumption tracking and load balancing, reducing waste and cooling costs. USB mass-configuration and remote monitoring support faster deployments, streamlined firmware updates, and lower maintenance costs, while robust construction and removable components minimize downtime during servicing.
