Metered  485PDU 1U MODBUS Power Distribution Unit
Model: GCT1U48513C13

As IT environments become increasingly complex, the demand for reliable rack-level power distribution has also grown. Eliminating power management issues is critical for IT equipment managers to maintain system availability in the face of rising high-density equipment deployments.

Metered PDUs locally display input voltage (V), current (A), power (kW), and energy consumption (kWh) via LCD/LED screens, while providing reliable power distribution. BM-PDUs deliver power utilization data, enabling data center administrators to safely install new equipment in cabinets and make informed decisions based on actual IT environment scale—reducing total cost of ownership.

Metered PDUs offer a wide range of power input and output options, from AC to DC, single-phase to three-phase, and 10A to 63A. All PDUs feature modular construction and customizable production to meet unique requirements. They support both horizontal and vertical mounting for flexible installation based on accessibility needs.

  • Real-Time Visibility – LCD/LED displays show voltage, current, and power metrics.

  • Proactive Alerts – Prevent failures with threshold-based notifications.

  • Scalability – Modular designs support everything from small racks to hyperscale data centers.

Application

Metered PDUs provide real-time power monitoring and reliable distribution for critical IT and industrial equipment.

1. Data Centers & Server Rooms

  • Capacity Planning – Monitor power usage (kW/kWh) to optimize rack density and prevent overloads.
  • Energy Efficiency – Track power consumption to identify underutilized servers and reduce costs.
  • Remote Monitoring – Alerts for voltage fluctuations or current spikes to prevent downtime.

2. Cloud & Colocation Facilities

  • Billing Accuracy – Measure exact power usage per customer for fair billing in shared environments.
  • Load Balancing – Distribute power evenly across racks to avoid circuit tripping.

3. Network Operations Centers (NOCs)

  • Critical Infrastructure Protection – Ensure routers, switches, and monitoring tools receive stable power.
  • Historical Data Logging – Analyze trends for future infrastructure upgrades.

4. Industrial Automation & IoT

  • Machine Monitoring – Track power draw of PLCs, sensors, and control systems in smart factories.
  • Predictive Maintenance – Detect abnormal power patterns (e.g., motor failures) before breakdowns occur.

5. Telecommunications (5G/Edge Computing)

  • Remote Site Management – Monitor distributed cabinets (e.g., cell towers) for power anomalies.
  • Battery Backup Integration – Coordinate with UPS systems to extend runtime during outages.
