Section 1 – Introduction
Classification Overview
The Panduit G5 Monitored, Switched, Monitored per Outlet, and Monitored & Switched
per Outlet PDUs (Power Distribution Units) are intelligent PDUs designed to distribute
power to IT equipment installed into a rack. These PDUs are single-phase (1Ph) or
three-phase (3Ph) models with electrical metering and switching capabilities.
Each PDU provides power distribution to IT loads through C13, C19 or NEMA 5-20R
outlets. The quantity and location of outlets vary by model. The PDUs allow you to
connect and manage these outlets from a single power connection. The PDUs can be
managed from a Web interface, or a Command Line Interface (CLI), and viewed from
the local display.
Panduit PDUs are designed for use with all Panduit cabinets and are compatible with
most third-party data center racks. The PDU models vary in form factor with several
mounting configurations available.
Panduit Monitored PDU:
Provides aggregate power monitoring to quickly identify
potential power issues, and reclaim available or under-utilized power capacity.
Panduit Switched PDU:
Provides aggregate power monitoring and outlet level
switching capabilities for individual outlets or a group of outlets. This PDU enables
power sequencing, rebooting equipment or restrict unauthorized use of individual
outlets.
Panduit Monitored per Outlet PDU
: Provides outlet-level power monitoring to quickly
identify potential power issues and reclaim available or under-utilized power capacity at
the outlet level.
Panduit Monitored & Switched per Outlet PDU:
Provides outlet-level power
monitoring and outlet-level switching capabilities for individual outlets or a group of
outlets. Power monitoring at the individual outlet level provides actionable management
data on the power consumption of each connected IT device, enabling the
redeployment or decommissioning of individual servers to reclaim available or under-
utilized power capacity.
