Powerware Enclosure Power Distribution Units (ePDU)

ATTN: IT Managers

Powerware Enclosure Power Distribution Units (ePDUs) for escalating power requirements.

Eaton now offers a complete suite of Powerware Enclosure Power Distribution Units (ePDUs) to help IT managers meet their rapidly escalating power requirements. These PDUs complement your Powerware or third-party UPS systems, distributing power to up to 24 or 45 receptacles in high-density rack environments— or anywhere conditioned power must be distributed to multiple pieces of equipment.

Eaton is unique in the industry for providing a tiered set of PDU product families along two dimensions—tiered both in power capacity and in functionality. That means you can precisely match up the combination of features and power rating needed for each application.

Powerware ePDU families by power rating

Standard	Up to 4 kW, 15 to 30A—for example, to support up to six 1U/2U servers or peripherals
Mid-Range	4 to 10 kW, 15A to 40A—supports up to 16 1U/2U servers or two blade server chassis
High-Range	10 to 15 kW, 30A to 60A—for up to 25 1U/2U servers or three blade server chassis
Ultra	15 kW and up, 60A—supports up to four blade chassis and other power-hungry equipment

The portfolio includes nearly every combination of power rating and functionality level. You are not forced into a high-capacity solution just because they need remote monitoring or other high-end features. Nor are you constrained to buy high-end functionality just because you need high capacity.

Powerware ePDU families by functionality

Basic	Reliable power distribution from the UPS to up to 24 receptacles in a rack or wiring closet, substantially reducing the number of plenum cables from input source to each rack.
Metered	All the features of the basic model, plus 24/7 monitoring and display of power utilization on any receptacle, branch circuit or the entire unit, to prevent overload conditions and tripped circuits.
Monitored	All the features of basic and metered models, plus the ability to securely view the status of each circuit from anywhere on the company intranet or the Internet, and receive automated alerts of potential trouble.
Managed	All the features above, plus advanced Revelation technology from Aphel (now part of Eaton Electrical) to control remote server boot-up or electronically lock designated receptacles to prevent unauthorized use.
Switched	All of the features above, plus, remote site management. The Powereware switched ePDU provides remote power monitoring of both voltage and current.
