Eaton ePDU G3 series data centre power distribution units

Eaton has launched the ePDU G3 series, technology which provides power distribution and enables data centre and IT managers to monitor and manage their rack environments.

The technology can be deployed in demanding locations, due to its ambient temperature operation rating of up to 60°C. Users will experience a reduction in the number of IP ports required to network administer intelligent models due to a daisy-chain capability of up to four ePDUs, which the company says will reduce the cost of network infrastructure by 75%.

Features include: simplified colour coding and laser-engraved chassis linking breakers to outlet groups; IEC class 1 billing grade accuracy enabling users to monitor energy consumption (kWh) plus V, W and A; integrated IEC outlet locking on every outlet; hot-swappable eNMC module, user replaceable without power interruption to the load equipment; central monitoring and management interface; low-profile form factor meaning the ePDU does not protrude into the active IT equipment space of the rack causing airflow and cable management obstructions; multiple mounting options available through a variable mounting system.
