ATEN PG5308B 30A 8-Outlet 1U Metered Rack PDU
Overview
The ATEN PG5308B is a 1U rack-mount metered power distribution unit rated for 30A input across 8 outlets, supporting 100V–230V deployments. Designed for data center racks, server rooms, and AV equipment closets where load visibility matters, the PG5308B delivers 1% metering accuracy — precise enough to catch load imbalances before they trip a breaker or mask a failing device. This variant ships with a 3-meter cord terminated in an IEC 60309 32A (SR) connector on the inlet end, making it the right pick for international installations or facilities wired to IEC 60309 32A receptacles. The PG5308B ships with firmware v1.0.097 (released 2026-05-05), updatable via the PG8-1U firmware package. If your facility uses NEMA L6-30P receptacles, specify the PG5308A variant instead; NEMA L5-30P facilities should route to the PG5308A as well.
Compatibility
The PG5308B fits any standard 19-inch EIA rack accepting 1U equipment. It is part of the ATEN power management line alongside the PG5308A (NEMA L6-30P) and PG5308G (IEC 60309 32A) variants — all three share firmware and metering architecture, so integration and monitoring workflows are identical across the family. Compatible with ATEN's rack PDU ecosystem and any IP-based PDU management platform that supports the PG8-1U firmware stack. For facilities building out broader data center power infrastructure, pair with appropriately rated UPS units and branch circuit monitoring to complement the per-outlet metering this unit provides.
Installation Notes
Operating and storage humidity must remain between 0–80% RH, non-condensing — standard for enclosed rack environments but worth confirming in high-humidity facilities or outdoor-rated enclosures. Safety certifications are UL and PSE; note that CE/UKCA applies only to the PG5308G variant. Verify that your facility's PDU receptacle matches the IEC 60309 32A inlet before ordering — the 3-meter cord is non-removable. Firmware upgrades use the PG8-1U-v1.0.097.zip package; consult your rack management workflow before deploying firmware updates in production environments.
