Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Zero U vertical PDU and why does it matter?
A Zero U vertical PDU mounts vertically on the side of a rack without consuming any rack units (U), preserving valuable vertical space for servers and network equipment. This design is critical in high-density data centers where every U of space directly impacts infrastructure capacity and ROI.
How does metered power distribution improve data center efficiency?
The metered PDU provides real-time visibility into power consumption per outlet or circuit, enabling IT teams to identify power-hungry devices, balance loads across phases, prevent overloads, and optimize energy efficiency. This data-driven approach reduces operational costs and extends equipment lifespan.
What is the difference between C13 and C19 outlets?
C13 outlets are standard IEC connectors rated for 10-15A and support typical servers, switches, and workstations. C19 outlets are heavy-duty connectors rated for 16A and accommodate high-power equipment like blade servers and power supplies. This 3PH 208V PDU includes both for flexible deployment.
Is the Raritan PX3-1955V-C5K1 compatible with existing data center infrastructure?
Yes, the NEMA L21-30P input connector is a standard three-phase industrial plug, and the IEC C13/C19 outlets are universal standards. Integration with Raritan's intelligent PDU platform enables seamless monitoring and management within existing data center management systems.
