What is a Power Distribution Unit?
A power distribution unit (PDU) is a device that’s able to distribute electric power through multiple outputs. Through PDUs, power can be delivered to data center computer racks and networking equipment. With these devices, data centers are able to improve efficiency, uptime, and growth.
Power Distribution
Manage data center power distribution at the level of racks, rows, and rooms. Choose from configurable or modular PDUs and accessories for versatile three-phase power distribution to seamlessly manage critical loads.

Types of Power Distribution Units
Rack Mounts— PDUs can range from simple rack-mounted power strips to large floor-mounted units. Their functions can include power filtering, intelligent load balancing, and remote monitoring and control.
Cabinets— Larger PDUs are necessary for businesses that need to power multiple server cabinets. Standalone cabinet PDUs include main breakers, individual circuit breakers, and power monitoring panels.
Movable— PDUs can be small enough to conveniently fit in your home or office.
