Chatsworth EA-5040-CE PDU Redundancy Pack

Overview

The Chatsworth EA-5040-CE is a PDU redundancy pack designed to provide dual power input for critical equipment, ensuring continuous operation even if one power source fails. This unit is essential for environments demanding high availability, such as data centers, network closets, and server rooms where downtime is unacceptable. By connecting two separate power feeds to the EA-5040-CE, you can then connect your single-input PDU or device to its output, guaranteeing that power is maintained from the remaining active source.

Compatibility

This redundancy pack is designed to work with any standard single-input Power Distribution Unit (PDU) or other IT equipment that requires a single C13 or C14 power connection but benefits from dual power source redundancy. It is compatible with most commercial-grade PDUs and network devices that utilize standard IEC C13/C14 power connectors.

Installation Notes

Installation involves connecting two independent power sources (e.g., from two different PDUs or UPS systems) to the input ports of the EA-5040-CE. The output port then connects to the single power input of your critical device. Ensure that the input power sources are correctly phased and meet the voltage and amperage requirements of the connected equipment. The unit is designed for rack or cabinet mounting, typically within a standard 19-inch rack environment.
