Individual Outlet Control
• Switch individual outlets on or off over the network
manually or automatically.
• Remotely reboot unresponsive devices to eliminate
costly site visits.
• Automatically turn off idle devices outside business hours
to reduce power costs.
• Lock out unused outlets to prevent unauthorized use and
related overloads.
•
More than 40 models
•
Up to 30 outlets
•
Up to 27.6 kW
•
Single-phase or
3-phase input
Switched PDUs
provide all Basic,
Metered and Monitored PDU features,
plus individual outlet control for remote
reboots and automated load shedding.

Load Ramping and Shedding
• Load ramping defines power-on sequences and delays to
prevent malfunctions and inrush overloads at startup.
• Load shedding increases the runtime of critical systems
by automatically turning off nonessential equipment.
•
Example: A UPS supporting sixteen network switches can
provide about twenty minutes of runtime during an
outage. After load shedding turns off twelve switches that
aren’t essential to core network functions, runtime expands
to two hours for the remaining mission-critical switches.
Outlet LEDs
• Display whether each Switched PDU outlet is on or off.
Outlet-Level Current Monitoring
• All 3-phase and some single-phase models
can display how much power a specific
device is drawing from a specific outlet.
• Outlet-level current monitoring provides
the granular data needed to determine
the power draw and operating cost of
individual devices on the network. As
data granularity increases, guesswork
decreases, and efficiency and system
reliability can increase.
•
Example: If a PDU is near capacity, and a
device connected to the PDU draws the
majority of the power, it helps to know which
device it is in order to better accommodate it
without risking an overload. Outlet-level
current monitoring can also reveal how much
work a device does in relation to the energy
it uses, confirming whether it would be more
cost-effective to upgrade to a device that
delivers more work value per watt.
