Chatsworth EA-5001-CE PDU Redundancy Pack

Overview

The Chatsworth EA-5001-CE is a Power Distribution Unit (PDU) redundancy pack designed to provide failover power for critical IT equipment. This unit is essential for environments where uninterrupted power is paramount, such as data centers, server rooms, and network closets. By connecting two independent power sources to this pack, you ensure that if one source fails, the connected equipment automatically switches to the secondary source, preventing downtime and data loss. The EA-5001-CE is engineered for straightforward integration into existing power distribution setups.

Compatibility

This PDU redundancy pack is designed to work with standard rack-mounted PDUs and IT equipment that utilize dual power inputs. It is compatible with most standard 1U rack spaces and integrates with various types of power distribution units and critical IT hardware, including servers, network switches, and storage arrays, provided they have dual power supplies.

Installation Notes

Installation requires connecting two separate AC power inputs to the EA-5001-CE and then connecting the single output to the IT equipment. Ensure that both input power sources are derived from independent circuits or UPS systems for true redundancy. The unit occupies 1U of vertical rack space and requires standard power cord connections.
