vertical PDU

Also known as “vertical PDUs” or “0U PDUs”, ”Rack PDUs are mounted along the sides of the rack enclosure in the gap between the mounting rails and the side of the enclosure, freeing up RU space for critical equipment. Best-in-class vertical PDUs have an ultra-low-profile design that provides easy access to IT equipment and increases airflow efficiency.

Generally, however, a vertical PDU is the better choice for the modern data center. Vertical PDUs provide more outlets, can handle greater heat loads, and have a more flexible, space-saving design.

Advantages of vertical rackmount PDUs

1、Vertical PDU don’t take up any rack space, yet they provide as many as 60 outlets for IT equipment.
2、Low-profile designs of vertical pdu leave plenty of room in the back of the cabinet for cable management and airflow.
3、Vertical PDUs are designed to withstand the higher temperatures caused by hot air exhaust at the back of the cabinet. Best-in-class units have branch-rated hydraulic-magnetic circuit breakers with an operating temperature of up to 140 degrees.
4、Hot-swappable components such as network management controllers mean that the vertical PDU can be repaired or upgraded without interrupting the power supply.
5、Vertical PDUs can be daisy-chained for network connectivity so that one port and IP address are used across multiple units.
6、Vertical PDUs often include locking outlets to secure the connection between the IT equipment and the PDU. This prevents accidental disconnections and unintended load drops.
7、Many modern vertical PDUs also feature tool-less mounting capabilities (also called ‘button mounts’), which simplifies the installation process further. Plus, their design often allows for multiple mounting options, with brackets that can be installed in multiple orientations, providing greater flexibility in how and where they can be installed within the rack.

Types of Vertical Rack PDUs provided by YOSUN

Basic Vertical PDUs

Basic vertical PDUs function similarly to power strips but are designed for rack environments. They provide reliable power distribution without advanced monitoring features. These units typically have a variety of outlet configurations and can accommodate multiple devices, making them suitable for smaller server rooms or less critical applications.
– Provide reliable power distribution to critical IT equipment.
– Available in various electrical and receptacle configurations.
– 100% tested for reliability and functionality.
– Ideal for small office environments and network spaces.

Metered Vertical PDUs

Metered vertical PDUs offer local monitoring capabilities, displaying real-time power consumption metrics such as current, voltage, and power factor. This data helps in managing power loads effectively and planning for future capacity needs. They are ideal for environments that require some level of monitoring without the need for remote access.
– Deliver real-time power data via a local LED display.
– Provide power usage insights for capacity planning and load balancing.
– Recommended for highly secure environments that require air-gapped power infrastructure.

Switched Vertical PDUs

Switched vertical PDUs allow for remote management of power outlets through a network interface. Administrators can turn outlets on or off, reboot unresponsive equipment, and manage power loads more efficiently. This type is particularly useful in larger data centers where remote access can significantly reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
– Allow remote power cycling of unresponsive equipment.
– Enable remote power on/off and reboot of outlets.
– Provide ultimate control over data center power usage, efficiency and availability.
– Highly recommended for any IT deployment, from large data centers to small remote locations.

Monitored Vertical PDUs

These PDUs combine the features of metered and switched units, providing both local monitoring and remote management capabilities. They offer detailed insights into power usage and allow for proactive management of power distribution, making them suitable for high-density environments where efficiency is critical.
– Provide comprehensive remote access to power usage data.
– Offer unit-level monitoring and control.
– Ideal for small office environments and network spaces.

Intelligent Vertical PDUs

Intelligent PDUs encompass advanced features such as environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity), network connectivity, and the ability to integrate with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) systems. These units are designed for modern data centers that require comprehensive monitoring and management solutions to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption.

Application Of vertical rackmount pdu

Vertical power distribution units (VPDUs) are particularly advantageous in several specific industries due to their space-saving design and high capacity for power distribution. Here are the key sectors where VPDUs are most beneficial:
1. Data Centers
VPDUs are widely used in data centers because they can accommodate a high density of outlets without consuming valuable horizontal rack space. They support the cooling requirements of densely packed equipment by being designed to withstand higher temperatures, which is crucial given the heat generated by servers and networking devices. Their ability to manage multiple circuits and provide monitoring capabilities makes them ideal for high-performance data environments.

2. Telecommunications
In telecommunications, VPDUs facilitate the distribution of power to numerous devices in limited spaces, such as telecom cabinets. They allow for efficient cable management and help maintain airflow, which is essential in these environments where equipment is often densely arranged.

3. Broadcasting and Media
Industries such as broadcasting benefit from VPDUs due to their flexibility and reliability in powering various audio-visual equipment. The unique designs of VPDUs can isolate failed equipment, ensuring that other devices remain operational, which is critical for live broadcasts.

4. Industrial Applications
VPDUs are also suitable for industrial settings where robust power distribution is needed for machinery and equipment. Their ability to handle higher loads and provide circuit protection makes them a reliable choice in environments with heavy electrical demands.

5. Medical Facilities
In medical AV infrastructures, VPDUs ensure that critical medical devices receive uninterrupted power while maintaining a compact footprint. This is vital in healthcare settings where space is often at a premium and reliability is paramount.
