Rack power distribution units

28 November 2012 Enclosures, Racks, Cabinets & Panel Products

Orion Fans has developed a new line of smart switched rack power distribution units (PDUs). Often used in computer data centres and other electrically intensive applications, the PDU features outlets that can be sequentially started, controlled and monitored remotely.

The PDU monitors the devices plugged into it and sends an e-mail alert if an anomaly in power occurs. Capable of being installed in any 19-inch rack, the unit is available in horizontal and vertical models that feature a digital true RMS current meter and remote power monitoring by meter, web and SNMP

Each unit comes with free bundled software and has its own control and, in the event of an alert, the user-defined alarm threshold will warn the end-user via e-mail, trap or audible alarm. The PDU series features http, https, SNMP, DHCP and UDP protocols, in addition to the user-defined on/off sequence.

Models OSP-V-16-23-16-N1 and OSP-V-20-11-16-N1 are 16-outlet vertical PDUs that measure 56 x 1245 x 44 mm and weigh 4 kg, while Models OSP-H-16-23-08-N1 and OSP-H-15-11-08-N1 are 8-outlet horizontal PDUs that measure 90 x 432 x 44 mm and weigh 2 kg. All models feature resolution of 0,1 A, range of 0 A to 20 A, and precision of ±2% ±0,1 A. They are UL and cUL listed and have CE approval.
