Frequently Asked Questions
What is a rack PDU and why do I need one?
A rack PDU (power distribution unit) is a critical infrastructure component that distributes power from a facility's main power source to individual IT equipment within a rack. The Raritan PX3-5535V provides intelligent distribution with remote monitoring capabilities, allowing data center teams to track power consumption, manage outlets remotely, and prevent downtime through real-time alerts and diagnostics.
Can I manage multiple PDUs with the Raritan PX3-5535V?
Yes. The PX3-5535V supports cascading up to 16 PDUs through a single Ethernet or USB connection, enabling centralized management of your entire power infrastructure from one interface. This significantly reduces administrative overhead and improves visibility across your data center deployment.
What equipment is compatible with the PX3-5535V's outlets?
The Raritan PX3-5535V features both IEC C13 and C19 connectors, making it compatible with virtually all standard server, switch, and networking equipment. C13 outlets support devices up to 16A, while C19 outlets handle higher-power equipment up to 20A, providing flexibility for mixed-density rack configurations.
How does the embedded processor improve power management?
The onboard embedded processor enables real-time power monitoring, including voltage, current, and consumption analytics. This allows you to identify power anomalies, set outlet-level alerts, and make data-driven decisions about equipment placement and capacity planning—all accessible remotely via network connectivity.
