Dual SmartPDU, two separate PDU in one housing
All-in-one system solution consisting of Dual SmartPDU with separate A+B feed and integrated MultiSensor with 40 height units, RCM and calibrated current measurement. Due to the already integrated KentixONE software and MultiSensor, up to 50 SmartPDUs can be managed without further hardware/software. The electronics are powered by PoE. This means that in the event of a power failure, thanks to a UPS-buffered PoE switch, the sensor technology as well as the management of the PDUs will continue to function. In addition, further functions can be controlled and digital inputs/outputs are available via the Kentix system port.
Ideal for EDGE and OT applications. The Dual SmartPDU is two PDUs in one chassis, making it especially cost- and space-efficient. All the benefits of two separate PDUs with separate power feeds and intelligent monitoring are retained.

Modular SmartPDU for almost all applications
All SmartPDU models are equipped with calibrated current measurement of the most important electricity parameters. This means that the consumption data can also be used in the collocation data centre for legally compliant billing.
The integrated residual current monitoring (RCM) makes it possible to carry out the required electrical device tests in accordance with DGUV-V3 even without switching off and contributes to greater electrical safety and increased fire protection.
The SmartPDUs work according to the main-satellite principle. This means that a main PDU collects all the data from the connected satellite PDUs. In addition, the main PDU can also read an external main power meter via Modbus Ethernet, thus enabling a direct PUE (Power Usage Effectiveness) calculation. This means that one of the most important energy indicators is available in the data centre without external software.
The integrated KentixONE software makes management extremely easy, regardless of whether you have one or a thousand SmartPDUs.
Kentix SmartPDU for a secure power-supply in the Data Center
The software integrates all open interfaces for effective management from a single rack to a large data center. All functions are available in the browser via a modern web GUI. KentixONE is license-free and future updates are available free of charge. New software versions can be easily distributed automatically to all clients via the PDU defined as the "main controller". Thanks to SNMP V2/3 and the SNMP MIB Base, which can be easily downloaded from the PDU, integration into existing monitoring systems is very simple. The comprehensive, event-based REST API with so-called web hooks goes one step further. This makes all PDU functions available in encrypted form via SSL/TLS and offers completely new possibilities for effective data center automation. This makes it easy to distribute configurations or templates and service technicians or colocation customers can be guided visually and acoustically to their racks. KentixONE supports Active Directory or LDAP to simplify user management and control of the SmartPDU or connected electronic rack handles via a central directory server.
SmartPDU as system basis for rack monitoring and access control
The DoorLock-RA4 is an important system component with many advantages. In addition to stand-alone use, the lever can also be connected directly to a Kentix SmartPDU. This eliminates the need for wiring between cabinets and provides redundant power to the cabinet's front and rear door handles via the PDUs. The SmartPDU takes over the management of the handle and the monitoring of the door contacts. Only a central AccessManager is then required as further hardware. Integration into an overall Kentix locking system is thus even more easily solved.
