Quick Summary
Rittal DK 7979.533 PDU metered+ is a smart PDU for IT racks that measures energy per outlet. Many data centers struggle with opaque energy data and uneven power distribution, which leads to inefficiency and higher operating costs. CE and EMC Directive compliance ensure regulatory alignment, EN 62368-1 safety certification adds risk mitigation, and connectivity options enable secure remote management. Its compact, zero-U mounting in VX IT or TS IT racks saves space and simplifies installation, while per-slot energy measurement drives precise capacity planning. Built for 400 V three-phase systems, it delivers up to 16 A and 11 kW, with a rotatable display, USB configuration, and web interfaces for centralized IT power monitoring.

Product description
DK PDU metered+, compact basic power distribution incl. energy measurement per output slot, with network interface and display, WLD: 44x1495x70 mm, CEE 7/3: 18x earthing-pin
Energy metering per output slot is the core feature that translates into tangible savings. With metered+, you gain visibility into where and how power is consumed within the rack, enabling chargeback granularity and smarter load balancing. In IT deployments, this means you can identify phantom loads, prevent overprovisioning, and plan capacity during expansion without guesswork. Compact, rugged design supports zero-U mounting in VX IT or TS IT racks. The enclosure’s aluminium section is black anodised for durability, and the unit ships with necessary assembly parts for quick integration. The 1,495 mm length matches standard VX IT frames, making it easy to position without tools or rework. Flexible management features reduce administration time. A rotatable 180° display/controller can be replaced on-site, and the USB 2.0 port supports mass configuration and firmware updates, while the web server and supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, NTP) provide secure remote access from centralized systems. Power and safety specifications pair with practical monitoring options. Infeeds single 3-phase input, 400 V, 16 A and 11 kW capacity ensure responsive distribution. Optional accessories, such as Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters and residual current measurement, help maintain uptime and regulatory compliance without sacrificing flexibility. Compatibility and integration considerations matter in mixed environments. The PDU supports CEE 7/3 sockets (Type F), 16 outlets, and is designed to fit VX IT enclosures with a frame width of at least 1,800 mm. USB, CAN bus sensors, and CAN-based ambient monitoring options expand the monitoring surface without introducing complexity.
