An intelligent PDU (iPDU) is a rack-mounted power distribution unit equipped with embedded intelligence to monitor, measure, and control power delivery at the rack, outlet, or phase level. Whether that means speeding up Saturday installs or focusing on. Modular, compact intelligent PDU with inlet metering. Reduce IP addresses by Daisy Chaining up to 64 PDU's. With advanced metering, remote monitoring, and outlet-level control capabilities, they enable informed decision-making. Schleifenbauer offers three communication modules that adapt to your infrastructure. In conventional rack PDU solutions, communication is often hardcoded: one Ethernet port per PDU or a fixed bus structure, typically paired with over-engineered hardware. Unlike a basic power strip, an iPDU communicates over a network, feeding real-time electrical data into.
