Product description
DK PDU metered+, compact basic power distribution incl. energy measurement per output slot, with network interface and display, WLD: 44x1495x70 mm, IEC 60 320: 24x C13, 4x C19
Metered power distribution with energy measurement per outlet supports per-slot visibility, enabling accurate chargeback and capacity planning across IT racks. This translates into measurable efficiency gains and cost reductions by identifying heavy consumers and balancing loads in real time. The rotatable, replaceable display/controller unit simplifies local monitoring in dense VX IT enclosures, reducing service time during maintenance windows and providing quick diagnostics. A USB 2.0 port enables mass configuration and data logging, accelerating rollout across multi-rack environments and ensuring traceable configurations for audits. Remote management is enabled via a web server, SSH, Telnet, and NTP, enabling secure, centralized control and firmware updates without on-site visits. Its compatibility with VX IT frames and zero-U mounting saves rack space, speeds installation, and minimizes ceiling/wall clearance concerns. Optional overvoltage protection, residual current measurement, and CAN bus sensors offer scalable monitoring of ambient and electrical conditions, improving protection and uptime in modern data centers and industrial IT spaces.

FAQs
Installation is designed for zero-U mounting within Rittal VX IT enclosures. The PDU fits the standard VX IT frame and mounting angles, with a rotatable display/controller unit that can be oriented for best readability. The included assembly parts simplify attachment, and the 3 m CEE power lead provides flexible routing. This minimizes downtime during upgrades and keeps cable management clean in busy data centers.
Each outlet slot provides energy measurement, enabling per- outlet visibility across 24 C13 and 4 C19 sockets. Measurement can be per phase or per infeed, with data accessible via the USB interface or network. The embedded metering supports energy accounting, capacity planning, and chargeback processes, helping you quantify the power footprint of individual servers and services for precise cost allocation.
Yes. With 24x C13 and 4x C19 outlets on a 230 V, 16 A rating and 3 m CEE connection, it handles diverse IT loads. The PDU metered+ provides per-outlet energy data, network connectivity for remote management, and a compact form factor that fits congested racks. It supports IT, network, and storage devices while enabling scalable monitoring across multiple racks.
The DK 7979.515 PDU complies with the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 safety standard, ensuring regulatory alignment for data centers and IT environments. It is cataloged with ETIM classifications (EC002762) for easy procurement, and carries CE marking under these directives, providing assurance for installation in European facilities and other compliant markets.
Firmware updates and configuration logging are supported via USB-A, and the web server interface enables remote monitoring and auditing. Energy visibility per outlet helps optimize workloads, reduce peak demand, and improve cost transparency, delivering a clear ROI through lower energy spend, better asset utilization, and reduced maintenance time thanks to easy diagnostics and centralized management.
