Compaq Power Distribution Unit
Information Guide
The new Compaq Power Distribution Unit's innovative “zero-U”
rack design provides managed power distribution for rack cabinets
without sacrificing valuable rack space needed for business critical
servers and storage requirements
.
External power cords connecting
AC receptacles plug directly into the Compaq Power Distribution
Unit, organizing otherwise haphazardly connected cords.
Several voltage models are available, including the distinctive new
high voltage, high ampere PDU that provides up to 30-amperes of
alternating current. Compaq Power Distribution Units provide a
space efficient and economical way to manage power cords while
offering additional security features such as surge protection and
circuit breakers
.
