Frequently Asked Questions
What is an intelligent rack PDU and why do I need one?
An intelligent rack PDU like the Raritan PX3-5118R provides real-time power monitoring, granular energy metering, and remote management capabilities. Unlike basic PDUs, intelligent models enable data centers to track power consumption per outlet, prevent overloads, and optimize energy efficiency—critical for reducing operational costs and maintaining uptime.
Can I connect multiple Raritan PX3-5118R PDUs together?
Yes, the PX3-5118R supports cascading of up to 16 PDUs using a single Ethernet or USB connection. This simplifies your network infrastructure by allowing centralized management and monitoring of multiple power distribution units without requiring individual connections for each device.
What are the power specifications for the PX3-5118R?
The Raritan PX3-5118R operates on 208V 3-phase delta power input and delivers up to 8.6kVA of output. This makes it suitable for mid-to-large rack deployments in data centers requiring reliable, high-capacity power distribution with advanced monitoring.
How does the embedded processor improve PDU performance?
The onboard embedded processor (536MHz minimum) with 16MB Flash and 64MB DDR2 RAM enables real-time energy metering, intelligent load balancing, and remote management features. This embedded intelligence allows the PDU to operate autonomously while providing detailed power analytics without requiring external controllers.
