Power Distribution Units (PDUs)
Power and Environmental Hardware
As power densities increase, monitoring of power and environmental information using an intelligent power distribution unit (PDU) is critical to
preventing power overload and downtime. Panduit supports power and environmental management through two distinct intelligent PDU families:
PViQ
PDUs connect directly to the network and SmartZone
PDUs which connect via a gateway. Panduit intelligent PDUs integrate seamlessly
into Panduit
®
SmartZone
Software, enabling real-time monitoring of physical infrastructure power consumption, temperature, and humidity levels
for enhanced system reliability and operational ef ciencies. (See pages 34 and 35 for a list of PDU and sensor part numbers).
Panduit’s comprehensive PDU offering is available globally in a variety of power con gurations to match typical applications, and can be con g-
ured to meet customer speci c needs.
Panduit Power Distribution Units (PDUs) – Safely and ef ciently manage and distribute power to multiple devices through a single
power connector to enhance scalability of network build outs.
Through integration with the SmartZone
Software Suite, PDUs send power and temperature readings to allow:
• Automated documentation and visualization of power utilization and environmental conditions
• Recognition and noti cation of faults or power disruptions
• Identi cation of available related capacity
Environmental Sensors – Environmental Sensors are available as externally placed sensors to measure and trend environmental
conditions such as temperature and humidity levels, at the cabinet level. These intelligent sensors transmit real-time environmental information,
providing noti cation of exceeded thresholds to quickly identify and resolve issues, identify hot and cold spots in the data center and automate
collection of real-time and accurate environmental information.
These sensors send cabinet-level information to the SmartZone
Software to allow:
• Automated documentation and visualization of temperature and humidity levels
• Recognition and noti cation of exceeded temperature thresholds and/or other environmental-speci c concerns
• Trending analysis to uncover developing thermal issues that may impact optimal performance and ef ciency
