Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the Cisco RP208-60M3P-12-9 support three-phase power distribution?
A: The Cisco RP208-60M3P-12-9 PDU provides three-phase power distribution at 208V with 60A capacity per phase, optimizing power efficiency for high-density data center environments. This metered PDU delivers balanced power distribution across all three phases, reducing neutral current and improving overall system efficiency compared to single-phase solutions.
Q: What equipment can connect to the C19 and C13 outlets?
A: The C19 outlets support high-power equipment including enterprise servers, storage arrays, and UPS systems requiring 16A-20A capacity. The C13 outlets accommodate standard networking equipment, switches, routers, and smaller servers with 10A-13A requirements. This mixed configuration makes the vertical-mount PDU ideal for diverse data center environments.
Q: How does the vertical-mount design benefit rack installations?
A: The vertical-mount configuration maximizes rack space efficiency by mounting along the side or rear of the rack, eliminating the need for horizontal rack unit space. This rack power distribution unit design improves cable management, reduces installation complexity, and allows for higher server density compared to traditional horizontal PDU mounting.
Q: What metering and monitoring capabilities does this PDU provide?
A: The metered power distribution unit offers comprehensive real-time monitoring including per-phase voltage, current, power consumption, and energy usage. The digital display provides local access to power metrics, while network connectivity enables integration with Cisco UCS Manager and third-party DCIM platforms for centralized monitoring and alerting.
Q: Is this PDU optimized for Cisco data center environments?
A: Yes, the Cisco PDU is specifically designed for integration with Cisco UCS and data center infrastructure. It provides seamless compatibility with Cisco management platforms, optimized power distribution for Cisco servers, and supports the high-density requirements of modern Cisco data center deployments with advanced monitoring and control capabilities.
