Chatsworth EA-5027-CE PDU Redundancy Pack

Overview

The Chatsworth EA-5027-CE is a PDU redundancy pack designed to provide automatic failover between two independent power sources for critical IT equipment. This unit is essential for maintaining uptime in server racks and network closets where uninterrupted power is paramount. By connecting two separate PDUs or power feeds to the EA-5027-CE, you ensure that if one power source fails, the connected equipment automatically switches to the secondary source, preventing downtime and data loss. This device is a straightforward solution for enhancing power reliability without complex configuration.

Compatibility

This PDU redundancy pack is designed to work with standard rackmount Power Distribution Units (PDUs) and IT equipment that utilize standard IEC C13 power input connectors. It functions by accepting two separate IEC C14 inputs and providing a single IEC C13 output to the device requiring redundant power. Compatibility is based on the physical connector types and the requirement for automatic power source switching.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting two separate power sources (e.g., from two different PDUs or UPS units) to the IEC C14 inputs on the EA-5027-CE. The output IEC C13 connector then powers the target IT device. Ensure that the total power draw of the connected equipment does not exceed the capacity of the individual power sources or the EA-5027-CE's switching capability. The unit is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting.
