Meter Shell Rs485 c13 switched PDU

Advantages of Meter Shell Switched PDU

The “Meter Shell” design refers to a PDU with an integrated metering module, often designed to be hot-swappable. This design offers distinct operational benefits:

Enhanced structural durability:The meter shell design offers strong physical protection for internal power modules, ensuring long service life even in harsh environments.
Stable heat dissipation performance:Its enclosed yet optimally ventilated structure helps maintain consistent operating temperatures, improving overall PDU reliability.
Local and Remote Visibility:It provides real-time local monitoring (via a built-in LCD/display) and remote network monitoring of key power metrics like voltage, current, power factor, and energy consumption, essential for load balancing and capacity planning.
Enhanced Diagnostics:Allows for quick, on-site diagnostics and verification of power usage directly at the rack, complementing remote monitoring tools.

Advantages of a C13 Switched PDU

The PDU utilizes the internationally standardized IEC C13 outlet, providing inherent advantages crucial for high-density IT environments.

High compatibility with global ICT equipment:C13 sockets are widely used across servers, storage units, network switches, and edge devices, making this PDU suitable for multi-brand deployments.
Efficient rack space utilization: C13 outlets provide a compact, high-density configuration, allowing more equipment to be powered within limited rack space.
Secure plug connection: Their standardized design offers firm cable retention, reducing the risk of accidental disconnection in vibration-prone or high-traffic environments.

Advantages of RS485 Switched PDU

The “Monitored” feature provides real-time data acquisition, transforming the PDU from a passive power strip into an active management tool.

Long-distance communication capability:RS485 supports stable data transmission over extended distances, ideal for large-scale facilities and distributed power environments.
Strong anti-interference performance:Its differential signal transmission minimizes noise and ensures accurate command execution even in electrically noisy industrial sites.
Easy integration with BMS / EMS / DCIM:RS485’s widespread industrial support allows seamless connection to monitoring platforms, enabling remote switching, energy tracking, and automated control strategies.
