Chatsworth Products (CPI) introduces non-networked, metered power distribution units (PDUs) to its eConnect® line of intelligent PDUs to help users obtain real-time input current readings for initial equipment installation and continued operation.
Metered eConnect features a local LED display that provides easy reading across power distribution phases, helping prevent equipment from current spikes. Knowing equipment input current within the rack is crucial in order to avoid potential power overloads, which can lead to equipment failure. Use Metered eConnect when deployment of networked PDUs is limited or not an option due to security concerns.
