Panduit MA017 Dongle PDU
Overview
The Panduit MA017 is a Yost serial dongle designed for the Panduit G5 Power Distribution Units (PDUs). This accessory enables serial communication, providing essential out-of-band management capabilities for your rack infrastructure. Its compact form factor, measuring just 0.5 inches in height, ensures it integrates cleanly into dense server rack environments without consuming excessive space. The MA017 facilitates remote monitoring and control of PDU status and environmental conditions, crucial for maintaining uptime in mission-critical data centers.
Compatibility
This dongle is specifically engineered for the Panduit G5 series of intelligent rack PDUs. It interfaces with the PDU's serial port to provide a dedicated channel for configuration and data retrieval, independent of the primary network connection. Ensure your Panduit G5 PDU model supports this serial dongle for full functionality.
Installation Notes
The MA017 dongle is designed for a straightforward plug-and-play installation onto the designated serial port of a compatible Panduit G5 PDU. Its low profile (0.5 inches) minimizes interference with adjacent rack-mounted equipment and cabling. No external power source is required, as it draws minimal power directly from the PDU.
