Frequently Asked Questions
What is a monitored and switched rack PDU?
A monitored and switched rack PDU is a power distribution device that not only distributes power to multiple devices but also provides real-time monitoring of power consumption and allows remote control of individual outlets. The Raritan PX3-5520V enables administrators to monitor power usage, remotely power cycle equipment, and manage power distribution across 24 outlets from a centralized interface.
How many PDUs can be cascaded with the PX3-5520V?
The PX3-5520V supports cascading of up to 16 PDUs using a single Ethernet or USB connection. This cascading capability allows you to manage multiple rack PDUs as a unified system, simplifying administration and reducing the number of network connections required in your data center infrastructure.
What are the power capacity and outlet specifications?
The Raritan PX3-5520V delivers 8.6kVA of power capacity across 24 individually monitored and switched outlets. Each outlet can be controlled independently, allowing you to manage power distribution with precision and reduce energy waste by powering down unused equipment remotely.
Is the PX3-5520V suitable for high-density data centers?
Yes, the 2U horizontal form factor of the PX3-5520V makes it ideal for high-density rack environments where space is at a premium. Its compact design combined with 24 outlets and 8.6kVA capacity provides excellent power distribution efficiency without consuming excessive rack space.
