Chatsworth EA-5035-CE PDU Redundancy Pack

Overview

The Chatsworth EA-5035-CE is a power distribution unit (PDU) redundancy pack designed to provide failover power for critical IT equipment. This unit is essential for maintaining uptime in server racks and data closets where uninterrupted power is paramount. It allows two independent PDUs to feed a single device, ensuring that if one power source fails, the other seamlessly takes over. The EA-5035-CE is specifically engineered for environments demanding high reliability, such as enterprise data centers and network operation centers.

Compatibility

This redundancy pack is designed to work with standard rackmount PDUs that have IEC C13 outlets. It is compatible with most 1U and 2U rackmount PDUs from major manufacturers, provided they have standard IEC C13 output connectors. Ensure your existing PDUs have separate power feeds from diverse power sources or UPS systems for true redundancy.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting the IEC C13 outputs from two separate PDUs to the EA-5035-CE unit. Then, connect the single output cable from the EA-5035-CE to the power input of your critical IT device (server, switch, etc.). Ensure all connections are secure and that the total power draw of the connected device does not exceed the capacity of a single PDU output. Proper cable management is recommended to avoid strain on the connectors.
