Panduit P42D04M Power Distribution Unit

Overview

The Panduit P42D04M is a 48U vertical Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for high-density data center rack environments. It provides 32A input power and offers 30 C13 and 12 C19 outlets, enabling robust power distribution for servers, network switches, and other IT equipment within a 1070mm deep rack. This unit is crucial for managing power loads efficiently and ensuring reliable operation of critical infrastructure.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for standard 19-inch wide server racks with a depth of 1070mm. It is compatible with equipment requiring C13 or C19 power connections. While not specific to any single vendor's equipment, its form factor and outlet types make it suitable for most enterprise data center deployments, including those utilizing rack-mounted servers and network gear from major manufacturers.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a 32A, 3-phase input power connection. Ensure the rack is properly grounded. The vertical mounting orientation maximizes space within the rack, leaving ample room for airflow and other components. Torque specifications for the input power connection should be followed per local electrical codes and installer best practices.
