BN PRO Metered – Intelligent energy and residual current monitoring for professional IT environments
The BN PRO Metered is a powerful Power Distribution Unit (PDU) for use in data centers and demanding server environments. It records all relevant energy and power data per phase – with 32-amp variants even per breaker. This allows precise monitoring of load distributions, transparent analysis of energy costs and early prevention of overloads. Additionally, an integrated RCM module (Residual Current Monitoring) provides continuous monitoring of differential/residual currents, thereby increasing the operational safety of the entire IT infrastructure.
All measurement and status values can be displayed directly on the integrated 2.4" TFT color display or conveniently read out over the network. For integration into monitoring and management systems, two Ethernet interfaces (1 Gbit/s with PoE and 100 Mbit/s) are available. Using the cascading function, up to 20 PDUs can be linked into a group that can be managed centrally. In addition, a dedicated sensor port allows connection of external sensors, for example for temperature or humidity measurements.
Also in operation the BN PRO Metered is particularly maintenance-friendly: controller and power supply are hot-swappable and can be replaced without shutdown. Colored marking frames make it easier to identify A and B feeds in redundant power supplies. With 16 IEC-C13 and 4 IEC-C19 outlets, a CEE-16A supply cable (3 m) and a robust aluminum housing, the PDU is designed for reliable continuous operation in the rack. The combination of precise energy measurement, integrated residual current monitoring and extensive management functions provides maximum transparency in energy consumption and supports an efficient and secure IT infrastructure.

What makes the BN PRO Metered PDU special for data centers?
The BN PRO Metered is a powerful Power Distribution Unit (PDU) specifically designed for professional IT infrastructures and data centers. It enables precise per-phase energy measurement, providing maximum transparency over power consumption and load distribution in the server rack. Data center operators can thus better analyze the power requirements of individual systems, plan capacities efficiently, and detect potential overloads at an early stage. Thanks to the intelligent measurement function, current draw, power and energy consumption can be monitored continuously. The data can be read directly via the integrated 2.4" TFT color display or conveniently integrated into existing monitoring and management systems via network protocols such as SNMP or a web interface. This makes the BN PRO Metered an important component for modern energy management in data centers, server rooms and colocation environments.
Why is an integrated RCM module important for IT infrastructure?
A key advantage of the BN PRO Metered is the integrated RCM module (Residual Current Monitoring). This module continuously monitors differential or fault currents and detects possible leakage currents or insulation faults in the connected IT hardware at an early stage. This additional safety feature is particularly valuable in highly available IT environments. Continuous residual current monitoring allows potential problems to be detected early before they lead to disruptions or failures. This increases operational safety in the rack and also helps to comply with legal requirements and safety policies in data centers. The combination of precise energy measurement and residual current monitoring makes the BN PRO Metered a particularly safe and reliable rack PDU.
What advantages does the network and monitoring integration offer?
The BN PRO Metered is equipped with two Ethernet ports: a Gigabit port with PoE and an additional 100-Mbit port. This allows the PDU to be flexibly integrated into existing network and monitoring structures. Administrators can centrally monitor and analyze all energy and status data. In addition, the PDU supports cascading of up to 20 devices. Multiple PDUs can therefore be linked into a cluster managed via a single central IP address. This feature significantly simplifies the management of larger rack installations and reduces administrative effort in complex IT environments.
How does the BN PRO Metered ensure maximum maintainability in the rack?
Designed for professional continuous operation in data centers, the BN PRO Metered is particularly maintenance-friendly. Both the controller and the power supply are hot-swappable and can be replaced during operation without shutting down connected systems. This greatly simplifies maintenance work and minimizes downtime. In addition, the rack PDU features 16 IEC-C13 and 4 IEC-C19 outlets, a CEE-16A supply cable, and a robust aluminum housing for reliable operation in the server rack. A sensor port also allows connection of external temperature and humidity sensors to monitor environmental conditions in the rack. The BN PRO Metered is ideal for data centers, server rooms, colocation environments, and professional IT infrastructures where precise energy monitoring and high operational reliability are required. By combining energy measurement, RCM residual current monitoring, network management and a maintenance-friendly design, this intelligent rack PDU provides a reliable foundation for modern energy and infrastructure management.
