Power Distribution Unit (PDU)
A Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a device used to distribute electrical power to various equipment in a network or data center. It acts as an intermediary between the power source (such as a main electrical panel) and the equipment that requires power, such as servers, networking devices, or other electronic systems.
Benefits
- Efficient distribution of power to multiple devices
- Improves power management in data centers and IT environments
- Prevents overloading of circuits and equipment damage
- Enhances safety with built-in surge protection and circuit breakers
- Allows for remote monitoring and management of power usage
- Optimizes space with compact designs for rack-mounted units
- Helps reduce downtime by ensuring continuous power supply
