Rack PDUs for Servers and Network Equipment
The Power Distribution Unit, or rack PDU, acts as the backbone for consistent power delivery to critical IT assets. PDUs for enclosures provide proper levels of power for equipment within the rack to optimize operations and keep IT assets running smoothly. Rittal provides efficient and effective rack based PDUs that are strategically designed for seamless integration within IT enclosures to ensure reliable power distribution for servers and network equipment.
Choosing the right PDU type hinges on your specific needs and budget. Key considerations include plug type, voltage, power requirements of your equipment, monitoring and control needs, and redundancy/resiliency requirements.
With the various types of rack PDUs on the market, it is vital to understand what type of PDU is right for your enclosure and application. The below list outlines the different types of PDUs so you can pick the best PDU for your business.
Serving as the simplest type of Power Distribution Unit (PDU), the basic PDU is the essential component for power distribution within IT enclosures. Designed for simplicity, it offers straightforward power distribution with multiple outlets, making it ideal for non-critical equipment where remote monitoring is unnecessary.

Metered PDUs elevate basic functionality by providing local power consumption monitoring through an on-board amp meter. This facilitates overload prevention and basic power analysis, offering insights into power needs and potential imbalances. These types of PDUs are an excellent choice for users seeking simplicity with the added benefit of local monitoring.

The monitored PDU starts with the metered PDU as a foundation. Upon that basis, the monitored PDU extends monitoring capabilities to include voltage, current, and power usage via a network connection. This makes the monitored PDU excellent for users seeking a power distribution solution that can be easily tracked over time so adjustments can be made as required. This advanced PDU type enables real-time power management and troubleshooting, providing a comprehensive view of power-related data. It is the go-to solution for those who prioritize remote monitoring and require a deeper understanding of power usage within their IT infrastructure.

Introducing a higher level of control, the switched PDU goes beyond monitoring by providing the ability to remotely control individual outlets. This feature enables various functionalities such as power cycling, scheduled shutdowns, device management (rebooting), and energy-saving initiatives. This type of PDU is ideal for those who require a high level of control over power distributed to individual IT assets within an enclosure. The switched PDU is ideal for users who demand greater control over their power distribution, allowing for strategic and efficient management of connected devices.

Rack UPS for Servers and Network Equipment
The rack UPS plays a crucial role in ensuring reliable power and continuous operation for critical IT assets and acts as a safety net to protect IT equipment from the following power malfunctions:
- Power outages
- Voltage spike or overvoltage
- Reduction in input voltage
- Voltage sag
- Noise, such as high-frequency transients or oscillations
- Mains frequency instability
- Harmonic distortion
In the event of a power fault, a UPS provides battery backup power between the loss of power to generator support, or until a graceful shutdown can be performed. A UPS can provide digital instructions to connected servers to perform a graceful shutdown with battery backup before power is exhausted. During this gap, the UPS takes over to prevent data loss, equipment damage, or service disruption.
If the power grid experiences power fluctuations and surges, a UPS corrects for these events to protect connected equipment. By acting as a buffer that cleans and conditions the power, the UPS provides protection for critical IT assets against lack of power or dirty power, which further improves uptime and reliability.
Rittal Provides Reliable UPS Units for IT Equipment
Rittal offers a range of UPS units tailored for servers and network equipment to ensure uninterrupted and reliable power for critical IT assets. Acting as a safety net during power outages, Rittal UPS systems bridge the gap with battery backup until generators resume power, preventing data loss, equipment damage, and service disruption. These UPS units also correct power fluctuations and surges, providing a buffer that cleans and conditions power to enhance uptime and reliability, while features like graceful shutdowns prevent data loss during outages.
