Understanding PDUs
A PDU is a device that distributes electrical power from a single source to multiple outlets. They offer several benefits over traditional power strips, including:
- Metered Outlets: Monitor power usage at the outlet level.
- Surge Protection: Safeguard your equipment from damaging voltage spikes.
- Remote Management: Control and monitor PDUs remotely for increased efficiency.
