Metered Cabinet Power Distribution Unit with Current Monitoring

The Sentry Metered Cabinet Power Distribution Unit (CDU) is a PDU with local LED input current monitoring, which allows network engineers to utilize the CDU’s True RMS Power Monitor to precisely measure the current (in amps) that network devices are drawing on the power circuit. As new servers and devices are added to the power drop, the impact on the cumulative current draw can be observed immediately. This allows the engineer to safely load each circuit to its maximum allowable load capacity without the danger of overloading the power circuit.

The Server Technology Sentry Metered PDU Feature Set:

Flexible Mounting Options

Zero-U button or bracket mounting for mounting vertical CDU’s in the back or on the side of the cabinet to avoid consuming valuable “U” space.

Branch Circuit Protection

All Sentry CDU’s meet the UL 60950-1 requirement for branch circuit protection and use either fuses or circuit breakers to protect each branch of outlets.

Input Current Monitoring

The CDU’s exclusive Digital True RMS Current Monitoring is critical to preventing overloads in high-density computing environments. Digital LED displays on the CDU enclosure report the input current of each phase or branch circuit
