ATEN PE8216B Outlet Monitoring PDU

Overview

The ATEN PE8216B is a 0U rack-mountable PDU designed for enterprise environments requiring granular control and monitoring of power distribution. It provides remote outlet monitoring, allowing you to track voltage, current, and power consumption for each connected device. This capability is critical for optimizing energy usage, identifying potential overloads, and ensuring the stability of your IT infrastructure. The PE8216B is suitable for data centers, server rooms, and network closets where precise power management is essential. Its 3-meter power cord offers flexibility in deployment within standard rack configurations.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for integration with standard 100VAC to 250VAC power systems. It features fourteen C13 outlets and two C19 outlets, accommodating a wide range of server, networking, and peripheral equipment. The included PMonitor software supports both Linux (v1.1.107) and Windows (v1.0.065) operating systems, facilitating management and data collection. While the PDU itself does not have specific model compatibility beyond its power input and output specifications, its SNMP and Telnet support allow integration with various network management systems.

Installation Notes

The PE8216B operates within a humidity range of 0–80% RH (non-condensing). It has achieved TUV-CB and CE-LVD safety certifications, indicating compliance with international safety standards. The unit is designed for 0U rack mounting, ensuring efficient use of rack space. The power cord length is 3 meters, providing adequate reach for most standard rack setups. Firmware can be upgraded to v1.0.067.

Metering Accuracy

The metering accuracy specifications for the PE8216B are detailed as follows: Voltage Range: 100VAC ~ 250VAC with +/-1% accuracy. Power Range: 100W to Maximum Capacity with +/- 2% accuracy. Current Range: 0.1A~1A with +/- 0.1A accuracy, and 1A~20A with +/-1% accuracy. These precise measurements allow for effective load balancing and capacity planning.
