A power distribution unit (PDU) is an essential part of any network. It is designed with multiple outlets used to distribute power to devices inside a server cabinet. PDU’s come in various sizes from small basic power strips to enterprise level load balancing units. They can be used to improve the quality of the power being supplied and in some cases can be remotely managed.
PDU’s often come with circuit breakers to cut the power to one or multiple outlets if a surge is detected. It is common practise in a datacentre to mount your PDU in a server cabinet and depending on the cabinet this can done either horizontally or vertically.
