Smart PDU Power Distribution Unit Supplier – Sipolar

Smarter – Intelligent Meter with LCD display

As a key component of the smart cabinet power distribution unit (PDU), our meters can provide active metering function after loading into the PDU body to achieve energy optimization and circuit protection. It can remotely monitor electrical energy related data, temperature and humidity, and alarm status. Using smart PDUs, data center managers can make informed decisions about load balancing and appropriate IT scale, significantly reducing total cost of ownership.

• User-set alarm thresholds: Effectively reduce risks by alerting potential circuit overloads through real-time local and remote alarms.
• Hot Swappable Design: Meters can be replaced, removed, or repaired without disrupting mission-critical connected loads. This design ensures maintenance can be performed seamlessly, avoiding service interruptions when replacing a faulty meter.

Remote Control – Powerful Networking & Cascading Capabilities

The remote control feature of a smart PDU allows users to manage and monitor power distribution from any location via network connectivity. This includes controlling outlets, adjusting settings, and receiving alerts for power issues. The benefits of this feature include increased operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced system management. Our smart rack PDUs provide this functionality through two key features:

• Ethernet/RS485 Connectivity: Users can configure and monitor the PDU remotely over Ethernet or RS485, ensuring seamless power management.
• Dual RJ45 Communication Ports: The standard dual RJ45 ports enable cascading of up to 32 PDUs, simplifying control of large-scale power distribution systems.

Surge Protection – Ensuring Safe Usage

The 125J surge protection means the smart power distribution unit can absorb and withstand up to 125 joules of energy to protect connected equipment from voltage surges (such as those caused by lightning, power fluctuations, or sudden electrical currents from power switches). Users can protect connected devices from damage caused by voltage surges.

• Increased Stability: Ensures devices continue running during power fluctuations, reducing the risk of failure.
• Extended Equipment Lifespan: Minimizes hardware damage caused by voltage spikes, extending the lifespan of devices.

Note: Features may vary across products. Please contact us for detailed information about each smart PDU.

What outlets do your smart rack PDUs fit?

Standard IEC C13 & C19 outlets are available for our smart PDUs. For customized needs, specific outlets are also available if needed. Get in touch with us to improve your power distribution management.

What is the warranty period for your products?

Our smart rack power distribution unit products typically come with a 12-month warranty, though the specific duration depends on the model and configuration.

What is the difference between a metered/switched PDU and a smart PDU?

A smart PDU provides both real-time power usage data from metered PDU and the ability to remotely control the power on/off for individual outlets from switched PDU, giving you complete control and monitoring over your power distribution.

How do smart PDUs improve power redundancy and reliability in mission-critical environments?

Sipolar’s smart PDUs support redundant power sources, automatic failover, and power path monitoring. This ensures that mission-critical IT systems stay operational even in the event of power disruptions, enhancing overall system reliability.

How can access to the PDUbe securely controlled in a multi-user environment?

Access to a smart PDU in a multi-user environment can be securely controlled using role-based access control (RBAC), multi-factor authentication, user access logs, encrypted communication, IP whitelisting, time-based access, strong password policies, and centralized management systems to ensure authorized, secure use. Learn more about the usage and insights of smart PDUs in our blogs.
