ATEN PE6108A ECO Power Distribution Unit
Overview
The ATEN PE6108A is a rack-mount ECO PDU designed for server rooms, AV equipment racks, and security infrastructure deployments where centralized power distribution and remote monitoring are required. The PE6108A ships with a 3-meter power cord, giving you enough reach to route cleanly from floor-level power panels to mid-rack installations without extension adapters. PMonitor client software is available for both Windows and Linux environments, enabling per-outlet monitoring from a management workstation — useful in mixed-OS NOC and security operations center deployments.
Compatibility
The PE6108A is part of ATEN's PE6108 ECO PDU family, which also includes the PE6108B and PE6108G variants (differentiated by safety certification region — the PE6108A carries UL certification, making it the correct choice for North American installations). It integrates with ATEN's broader ATEN power management and rack PDU ecosystem. PMonitor software compatibility covers Windows (v1.0.081) and Linux (v1.1), supporting deployment alongside network management infrastructure. For environments requiring SNMP-based polling, the unit supports SNMP as documented in the available firmware package. Current firmware stands at v2.5.248 (released 2026-04-15), ensuring compatibility with modern data center infrastructure management workflows.
Installation Notes
Mount type is rack — confirm available rack units before ordering. Operating and storage humidity tolerance is 0–80% RH non-condensing; avoid installations in unconditioned spaces subject to condensation. UL safety verification applies to the PE6108A specifically; if your project requires CE-LVD certification, specify the PE6108G variant instead. The 3-meter cord length is fixed — factor this into rack layout planning, particularly in deep two-post or four-post configurations where the power panel may sit at the opposite end of the run.
