Power distribution for IT equipment

Eaton Rack PDU G4

Eaton's new rack PDU G4 delivers highly secured power distribution and business continuity, critical in today's data centre space. This has been achieved by in-depth work, incorporating customer experience and marketplace feedback.

When you talked about connectivity needs, we listened.

The result is G4's revolutionary single C39 outlet that combines both C13 10A and C19 16A specifications. This offers unprecedented flexibility and ease of use. The only question now is: how many outlets do you need? Not which kind. Not only does G4 take cybersecurity to new levels but it also brings big increases in network and power redundancy, underpinned by reduced energy requirements. Eaton Power Distribution Units match solutions to needs with four rack PDU G4 technologies.

Designed for incremental feature upgrades

              Basic 

Our basic G4 PDU provides cost-effective, reliable power distribution with a secure, built-in high retention system to firmly hold standard power cords and new type C39 outlet that combines C13 and C19 connectors.

      Metered input

Our metered input G4 PDU streamlines power management and promotes efficient operations by simplifying load balancing and preventing overloads.

           Switched

Our switched G4 PDU combines advanced control features at outlet level with all power quality measurement capabilities of the Metered Input PDU.

           Managed

Our managed G4 PDU incorporates all the features of the switched model but goes a step further by actively monitoring and measuring crucial power quality factors such as voltage, current and power consumption at outlet level. 

Rack PDU G4 rewrites the rules

Boost efficiency, security, density, and flexibility to meet today's data centre priorities

Experience the flexibility of new combo C39 outlets

 

Data centre designers have traditionally faced a guessing game when specifying the required number of C13 (10 A) and C19 (16 A) outlets. The G4 Rack PDU solves this with the flexible combo C39 outlets that securely connect both C14 and C20 power cords.
Until now, you would have been forced to calculate the number of C13 and C19 outlets needed for your deployment ahead of time. The C39 outlets allow you to swap out equipment without the inconvenience of re-ordering a new rack PDU to meet specific outlet count requirements. 
 

Enhance reliability of power connections with G4’s built-in outlet high retention system

Built-in High retention system at outlet level prevents accidental disconnections due to vibrations, accidental tugs, or equipment maintenance within the rack.  
In addition, the G4 PDU outlets are compatible with P-lock power cords.

Enhance user experience during installation/commissioning, thanks to the new high definition, wide-angle colored view display.
Save on unnecessary IT infrastructure, such as extra switches and IP addresses, thanks to the 32 daisy-chained capability of new G4 PDU range.
Boost uptime and enhance service capability with the hot-swap capability of network management and control module. Keep your servers up and running while replacing faulty NMC module.
Furthermore, we have implemented network redundancy in the NMC module to minimize the effect of 'early' breaks in the chain. (RSTP Loop function)

The NMC offers easy, secure integration with Eaton software and  third-party DCIM solutions or IT systems through RestAPI, SNMP v3 and Modbus TCP.
Two Gb ports offer the flexibility to define different user profiles and access levels in colocation data centres.

Dual network access is a key feature for colocation environments. Thanks to its twin gB Ethernet ports, the G4 NMC allows both end users and data centre tenants to separately access their PDU.

The NMC also enables one G4 PDU to power up a second PDU’s network module control should it go down, while still enabling the network to access its critical data and connected sensors. (Power sharing)

Built with cybersecurity in its DNA

Eaton’s cybersecure G4 network management and control module (G4 NMC) NMC uses a secured boot process by which it serves as a root of trust device, i.e. a specially authenticated, first line of defence against intrusion.

Green solution end to end by design

Halogen-free cable (also known as low smoke zero halogen or LSZH) comes as standard with rack PDU G4.
Energy-efficient, latching relay technology (switched and managed models only) controls the power supply without the need for continuous electrical input.
Efficient, eco-friendly packaging uses recycled and recyclable materials, rather than plastic or polystyrene.
