What is the Legrand Raritan iX Rack PDU with Outlet Metering and Switching?
The Legrand Raritan iX Rack PDU PX4-53A8C-C8E7A0 is an intelligent power distribution unit in a 0U form factor, specifically designed for use in data centers, server rooms and network cabinets. With 24 outlets, divided into 12x C13 and 12x combined Cx sockets, it reliably supplies numerous IT devices with power. The single-phase 100–240V input with a 16A rated input current and a power capacity of 3.8 kVA is suitable for various deployment scenarios. Class 0.5 energy metering provides billing-grade accuracy and ensures full transparency of power consumption per input feed, per circuit breaker and per outlet. In addition, individual outlets can be switched remotely, enabling targeted control of connected devices.
Which network and management functions does the PDU offer?
Remote management of the Legrand Raritan iX PDU is available via numerous protocols such as HTTP(S), SSH, SNMP v2/v3, JSON-RPC API, MODBUS-TCP and Redfish API. This allows the PDU to be seamlessly integrated into existing DCIM systems and network management solutions. The integrated color LCD display with auto-flip function shows voltage, current and power directly on the device. Up to 32 PDUs can be cascaded over a single Ethernet port, significantly simplifying the management of large installations. Additionally, up to 8 PDUs can be linked via the Link port, with the primary PDU receiving redundant power from the first expansion PDU.
Why is the combination of metering and switching particularly valuable?
The combination of precise energy metering and remote switching makes the Legrand Raritan iX Rack PDU a versatile tool for IT administrators. While outlet metering makes the power consumption of each individual outlet transparent, outlet switching enables targeted on/off control of devices remotely. This is particularly useful for remote reboots of unresponsive servers or the controlled shutdown of individual loads. Power quality monitoring also captures harmonic distortion, voltage sags and inrush current peaks. The hot-swappable controller ensures that the control unit can be replaced during operation without interrupting the power supply. With support for environmental sensors such as temperature, humidity and water leak detection, the PDU offers comprehensive monitoring capabilities for business-critical environments.
