Section 1 – Introduction
Classification Overview
The Panduit Essential Monitored, Switched, Monitored per Outlet, and Monitored &
Switched per Outlet PDUs (Power Distribution Units) are intelligent PDUs designed to
distribute power to IT equipment installed into a rack. These PDUs are single-phase
(1Ph) or three-phase (3Ph) models with electrical metering and switching capabilities.
Each PDU provides power distribution to IT loads through C13, C19 outlets. The
quantity and location of outlets vary by model. The PDUs allow you to connect and
manage these outlets from a single power connection. The PDUs can be managed
from a Web interface, or a Command Line Interface (CLI), and viewed from the local
display.
Panduit PDUs are designed for use with all Panduit cabinets and are compatible with
most third-party data center racks. The PDU models vary in form factor with several
mounting configurationsavailable.
Panduit Monitored PDU: Provides aggregate power monitoring to quickly identify
potential power issues and reclaim available or under-utilized power capacity.
Panduit Switched PDU: Provides aggregate power monitoring and outlet level
switching capabilities for individual outlets or a group of outlets. This PDU enables
power sequencing, rebooting equipment or restrict unauthorized use of individual
outlets.
Panduit Monitored per Outlet PDU: Provides outlet-level power monitoring to quickly
identify potential power issues and reclaim available or under-utilized power capacity
at the outlet level.

7
M1 INTELLIGENT PDU INSTALLATION MANUAL
Panduit Monitored & Switched per Outlet PDU: Provides outlet-level power
monitoring and outlet-level switching capabilities for individual outlets or a group of
outlets. Power monitoring at the individual outlet level provides actionable
management data on the power consumption of each connected IT device,
enabling the redeployment or decommissioning of individual servers to
reclaim available or under- utilized power capacity.
