FAQs
The DK PDU metered+ is designed for VX IT enclosure integration with zero-U mounting. It ships with assembly parts and fits frames ≥ 1,200 mm. Mounting is tool-free in the zero-U space, and the 3 m CEE input cable provides flexible routing. For a smooth rollout, align with VX IT mounting angles and verify infeed connections per enclosure plan.
The PDU operates at 230 V AC with a maximum current of 16 A and a measured power draw up to 3.7 kW. It provides energy measurement per output slot (12 x C13 and 1 x C19) and supports a single infeed. The unit includes a USB 2.0 interface for data logging and supports web server, SSH, HTTPS, and NTP for remote management.
Yes. With per-slot energy measurement, scalable VX IT compatibility, and a compact footprint, it suits high-density deployments. The PDU’s remote management, secure access, and ambient monitoring options make it ideal for data centers aiming to optimize energy use, balance loads, and maintain uptime across multiple racks.
The unit complies with EN 62368-1 and the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. It also supports standard IT power interfaces and network protocols, ensuring conformity for secure operation in modern data centers and IT rooms.
The per-slot energy measurement enables precise energy accounting and load balancing, reducing wasted power and enabling data-driven capacity planning. USB mass-configuration accelerates deployment across racks, lowering labor costs.
