Product description
DK PDU UK, metered, compact basic power distribution incl. energy measurement per phase, with network interface and display, WLD: 44 x1495 x70 mm, 16xBS 1363, IEC 60 320: 4x C19
Energy measurement per phase with a dedicated display and network interface delivers real-time visibility into load distribution, enabling accurate chargeback and proactive capacity planning for IT environments. The business impact is clear: reduced energy waste, better cooling alignment, and predictable power budgeting for data centers employing per-phase analytics in a unified monitoring stack. The DK 7979.822 is ideal for server racks, IT cabinets, and VX IT enclosures, where dependable energy data supports automated reporting and compliance audits. 16x BS 1363 sockets plus 4x C19 outlets provide flexible loading for diverse IT equipment, while maintaining orderly cable management and space efficiency in dense rack rows. The design aligns with VX IT frames for fast, tool-free upgrades and scalable deployments. Optional Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters adds layer of asset protection and status monitoring to meet rising reliability demands. CAN bus sensor compatibility for ambient monitoring further strengthens environmental control, reducing unplanned downtime. With a minimum order quantity of five units, project-scale deployments can be planned without single-unit bottlenecks, delivering predictable procurement. Overall, the PDU integrates energy metering, network visibility, and rugged IT-ready construction to support compliant, efficient data center power management.
