Chatsworth EA-3257-C Monitored Econnect PDU
Overview
The Chatsworth EA-3257-C is a horizontal 1U rackmount power distribution unit (PDU) designed for critical IT environments. It provides monitored power distribution with locking outlets, ensuring reliable and secure power delivery to rack-mounted equipment. This unit is essential for data center and network closet deployments where precise power management and outlet security are paramount. The EA-3257-C features an IEC 32A 1P+N+E input connector, suitable for high-density power requirements.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for integration into standard 19-inch server racks. Its IEC 32A input connector requires a compatible power source and cabling. The locking outlets are designed to secure standard IEC C13 power cords, preventing accidental disconnection of critical equipment such as servers, network switches, and storage arrays. It is compatible with virtually any server or network device that utilizes standard IEC power input.
Installation Notes
Installation requires mounting into a standard 19-inch rack using the provided hardware. Ensure the rack is properly grounded. The IEC 32A input requires a dedicated circuit with appropriate overcurrent protection as per local electrical codes. Verify that the power source voltage and amperage rating match the PDU's input specifications. The locking outlets require a corresponding locking IEC power cord to engage the locking mechanism.
