Panduit ZDINS25 DIN Rail Expansion Tier for 2 Industrial Switches with Integrated UPS
Overview
The Panduit ZDINS25 is a factory-pre-configured industrial network enclosure tier designed to house two industrial-grade managed switches in a single 19-inch wide, 8.69-inch tall DIN rail assembly — with a maintenance-free UPS, dual AC-to-DC power supplies, a 48-port patch panel, terminal blocks, and pre-run 120 V AC wiring all included out of the box. For automation engineers or OT network architects building out zone-level switching infrastructure in manufacturing cells, process control rooms, or machine-line cabinets, the ZDINS25 eliminates the time-consuming task of sourcing, sizing, and wiring discrete components one at a time.
Part of Panduit's IndustrialNet™ product line, the ZDINS25 is built from mild steel construction and meets cUL Listed per CSA and RoHS Compliant standards — relevant if you're specifying for North American industrial installations where UL listing drives facility acceptance and where RoHS compliance is a procurement requirement for export or EU-market systems.
Key Features
- Pre-wired 120 V AC Input: The tier ships with internal 120 V AC wiring already run — you connect incoming line power at the terminal blocks and the assembly handles distribution internally. This cuts commissioning time on the plant floor where every hour of downtime has a real cost.
- Integrated Maintenance-Free UPS: A built-in UPS means your zone switches ride through power interruptions without requiring a separate external battery backup unit. For OT networks where an unplanned switch reboot during a production run can trigger a line stoppage, this is a meaningful reliability argument.
- Dual AC-to-DC Power Supplies: Two independent AC-to-DC power converters are included — critical for powering the DC-input industrial switches that live in this tier. Dual supplies also provide a degree of power redundancy that a single-PSU arrangement cannot.
- 48-Port Patch Panel: A full 48-port patch panel is mounted and included, giving you a structured cabling termination point co-located with your switching tier. In a zone enclosure, this means field cables terminate cleanly without running across the cabinet to a separate panel section.
- 4U DIN Bracket: The included 4U DIN bracket provides standardized DIN rail mounting geometry, compatible with the DIN-mount industrial switches and devices typical in IEC 60715-compliant panel builds.
- 19-Inch Wide / 8.69-Inch Tall Profile: At 482.6 mm wide and 220.7 mm tall, this tier fits standard 19-inch rack sections or panel cutouts — usable inside an existing control cabinet as a sub-assembly or mounted in a dedicated 19-inch rack enclosure alongside other network infrastructure.
- Mild Steel Construction: The enclosure body is mild steel — appropriate for the mechanical demands of industrial automation environments where plastic housings are inadequate for long-term panel mounting in vibration-prone or high-cycle equipment areas.
- cUL Listed per CSA / RoHS Compliant: cUL certification under CSA standards is a practical requirement for facility inspectors in the US and Canada. RoHS compliance satisfies procurement requirements for systems destined for regulated markets.
Integration & Compatibility
The ZDINS25 is designed as a zone-level network tier within Panduit's IndustrialNet infrastructure ecosystem, intended to pair with DIN-rail-mountable industrial managed switches. The 4U DIN bracket accommodates standard IEC 60715 DIN rail-mount devices. The pre-wired 120 V AC architecture assumes North American line voltage — verify compatibility before deploying in 230 V regions without appropriate step-down or rewiring. The 48-port patch panel supports structured horizontal cabling runs from the machine-level field devices back to this zone tier, aligning with structured cabling for industrial networks best practice. If your project requires integration into a broader physical infrastructure plan, review industrial cabinets and rack enclosures for compatible mounting options.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the ZDINS25 come pre-wired for?
A: The ZDINS25 ships with internal wiring for 120 V AC input already run. Terminal blocks are included for connecting incoming line power. The assembly includes dual AC-to-DC power supplies, a maintenance-free UPS, and a 48-port patch panel — all integrated and ready for switch installation.
Q: Are the industrial switches included with the ZDINS25?
A: No. The ZDINS25 is an expansion tier enclosure that accommodates two industrial switches — the switches themselves must be sourced separately. The tier provides the mounting, power, UPS, and patch panel infrastructure.
Q: Is the ZDINS25 compatible with standard 19-inch rack enclosures?
A: Yes. The ZDINS25 measures 19 inches (482.6 mm) wide, which matches standard 19-inch rack and panel openings. At 8.69 inches (220.7 mm) tall, verify available rack unit space in your target enclosure before ordering.
Q: What certifications does the ZDINS25 carry?
A: The ZDINS25 is cUL Listed per CSA standards and is RoHS Compliant. These certifications support facility acceptance in North American industrial installations and procurement compliance for regulated markets.
Q: What input voltage does the ZDINS25 require?
A: The ZDINS25 is pre-wired for 120 V AC input. Verify line voltage compatibility before deploying in regions where 230 V AC is standard without appropriate step-down provisions.
Q: What is the package quantity for the ZDINS25?
A: The ZDINS25 ships as a single unit (package quantity of 1).
The ZDINS25 is one of those assemblies that looks expensive on a line item until you price out sourcing a maintenance-free UPS, dual AC-to-DC PSUs, a 48-port patch panel, and DIN hardware separately — then wire it yourself on the plant floor. The pre-wired 120 V AC architecture here is the real time argument, particularly on machine-line rollouts where you're commissioning the same zone-tier layout across 10 or 20 cells.
Technical Highlights:
- Integrated Maintenance-Free UPS: Built-in battery backup means zone switches don't reboot on momentary power events — no external UPS cabinet to spec, mount, or wire. Significant on production lines where an unplanned switch restart can trigger a line-stop event and a root-cause report.
- Dual AC-to-DC Power Supplies: Two independent converters supply the DC-input industrial switches. If one supply degrades, the second holds the load — a redundancy layer that a single-PSU open-frame design can't provide without adding a secondary unit externally.
- 19 × 8.69-Inch Form Factor (482.6 × 220.7 mm): Standard 19-inch width means this tier drops into existing control cabinet rack sections or a standalone 19-inch enclosure without custom fab. The 8.69-inch height fits within typical panel section allocations for a 2-switch zone.
Deployment Considerations:
- The ZDINS25 is pre-wired for 120 V AC input — if your facility runs 230 V or mixed voltages across international sites, confirm voltage compatibility and transformer availability before placing the order. This is a single-voltage assembly, not a universal input design.
- Industrial switches are NOT included. Budget and source your DIN-rail-mountable managed switches separately — the ZDINS25 provides the infrastructure frame, not the active switching hardware. Verify your target switch models are DIN-mountable and physically fit the 4U DIN bracket geometry.
The ZDINS25 fits best on greenfield machine-line or process-cell OT network builds where a systems integrator needs to deploy consistent, pre-validated zone-switching tiers across multiple cabinet locations — not a one-off install, but a repeatable deployment pattern where pre-configured assemblies reduce site-level wiring variation and commissioning time.
