Frequently Asked Questions
What is an intelligent metered rack PDU and why do I need one?
An intelligent metered rack PDU provides outlet-level power monitoring and remote switching capabilities, allowing data center operators to track energy consumption per device, prevent circuit overloads, and remotely power-cycle equipment without physical access. The Raritan PX3-5664U enables this control across 30 outlets in a single 2U unit.
How does cascading work on the PX3-5664U?
Cascading allows you to connect up to 16 PX3-5664U PDUs through a single Ethernet or USB connection, enabling centralized management of hundreds of outlets across your rack infrastructure. This reduces cabling complexity and simplifies power distribution in high-density environments.
Can I monitor power consumption per outlet in real-time?
Yes. The PX3-5664U features outlet-level power metering that delivers real-time visibility into individual device power draw, helping you identify power-hungry equipment, optimize load balancing, and prevent oversubscription on your power circuits.
Is the PX3-5664U suitable for 208V three-phase power systems?
The PX3-5664U is rated for 208V input with 8.6kVA capacity, making it ideal for mid-to-large scale data center deployments requiring reliable, switched power distribution with advanced monitoring across multiple high-power server racks.
