A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is equipped with multiple ports which are designed for distributing and managing power. PDU monitoring improves efficiency and uptime. Once you have chosen the amount of rack space, you can choose a specific PDU. Smartdc offers a variety of Schleifenbauer PDU types. Schleifenbauer PDUs are of the highest quality, guaranteeing the safest possible solution for your environment within the data center.

Redundant A-feed and B-feed

It is important to effectively protect critical IT infrastructure within a data center against power outages. Making the power supply redundant provides this protection. Using a redundant path, the equipment is connected to two power supplies, the A- and B-feed.

PDUs are equipped with an A-feed and B-feed, which means that each power source has its own utility feed (or power supply). A redundant A- and B-feed provide extra security. If one of the power paths fails due to a malfunction or necessary maintenance, the energy will still be supplied to the equipment.

Standard PDU

This standard model comes with each rack you rent. An additional unit is mounted at the top of your rack for the secondary feed or B-feed.

Vertical PDU

Depending on the amount of rackspace you reserved, our vertically mounted PDUs come in a primary version (default) and a secondary version for the second half of each rack. These PDUs are mounted to the walls of each rack, giving you an optimal amount of space for cable management. The secondary is connected to the primary version via a 0,5m Wieland cable. This combination allows maximum flexibility and convenience during maintenance.
