Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU

Discover advanced power management with the Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU, a high-performance, monitored power distribution unit designed for modern data centers and network closets. This 0U vertical, rack-mountable PDU delivers reliable power distribution for critical IT gear while enabling intelligent monitoring, remote management, and granular control. With a NEMA L6-30P input and a total of 24 outlets (20 IEC 60320 C13 and 4 IEC 60320 C19), it’s engineered to keep your servers, storage, and networking devices powered securely at 208 V AC. The SmartZone G5 integrates seamlessly into smart data center environments, providing visibility, control, and automation to optimize energy use, reduce downtime, and simplify firmware and configuration administration.

• Monitored power distribution with real-time outlet and line monitoring: track voltage, current, power (kW), and energy usage to identify anomalies before they impact uptime.
• Granular outlet-level visibility for precise power budgeting: manage loads per outlet, enable load-shedding policies, and prevent overloading critical equipment during peak demand.
• Remote management via network using standard RJ-45 connectivity: securely access, configure, and monitor the PDU from anywhere on the network, with centralized dashboards and alerting.
• Robust electrical design for reliability with NEMA L6-30P input and 208 V AC output: delivers stable power for high-density deployments while maintaining electrical safety and fault isolation.
• Flexible, space-saving form factor 0U vertical, rack-mountable design: maximize rack space in dense data centers and telecom rooms while delivering distributed power where you need it most.

How to install Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU

• Prepare the installation: verify that the rack has adequate space for a 0U vertical PDU; confirm network access and IP addressing for remote monitoring.
• Mount the PDU: slide the G5 into the 19-inch rack and secure with appropriate screws or hardware; ensure the unit is level and firmly fastened to prevent vibration or loosening during operation.
• Connect power input: connect the NEMA L6-30P input plug to a suitable 208 V supply with appropriate breakers; ensure the circuit is rated to handle the full load plus a safety margin.
• Wire the outlets: distribute devices across the 20 C13 and 4 C19 outlets according to load planning; avoid overloading any single outlet or bank.
• Configure network access: connect the PDU’s RJ-45 port to your management network; configure IP address, gateway, and DNS as required for monitoring and alerting.
• Set monitoring and alerts: use the PDU’s management interface to enable alarms for overcurrent, voltage deviation, and abnormal outlet loads; configure notification channels (email, SNMP traps, or other integrations).
• Test operation: power up the rack, verify outlet-level readings, and confirm that remote monitoring dashboards reflect accurate data; perform a controlled load test to confirm response to load-shedding policies if configured.
• Document configuration: record the PDU’s serial number, IP address, outlet labeling, and load plan for ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting.
