Power Distribution Units (PDUs) are critical components for managing and distributing electrical power in various settings, including data centers, industrial facilities, and power conditioning applications.
With a range of PDUs available, from standard configurations to advanced models equipped with high-end features, these units cater to the diverse needs of different industries. They are engineered for reliability, precision, and efficiency, ensuring that power is distributed safely and effectively to all connected equipment.
PDUs come with customizable options such as capacity ranges up to 600kVA, advanced metering solutions, and robust protection features, making them suitable for a variety of applications. Whether it’s for a data center’s UPS output or a complex industrial setup, PDUs are designed to meet the rigorous demands of today’s power management systems.

Intelligent Secondary Power Distribution for Modern Data Centres
As data centres continue to scale, the need for flexible, intelligent, and highly reliable secondary power distribution becomes increasingly critical. The Remote Power Panel (RPP V3) extends power distribution closer to the IT load, enabling safe, efficient, and scalable power delivery from the PDU to individual server racks.
Designed for high-density data centre environments, the RPP V3 combines advanced protection, comprehensive branch circuit monitoring, and seamless integration with Energy and Building Management Systems, providing complete visibility over power usage while maximizing operational uptime.
