What distinguishes the Legrand Raritan iX Rack PDU in the 1U 19-inch form factor?
The Legrand Raritan iX Rack PDU PX4-5256CR-C8E8A0 is a compact intelligent power distribution unit in a 1U 19-inch form factor that occupies only one rack unit in the server cabinet. With 12 outlets, divided into 8x C13 and 4x combined HDOT Cx receptacles, it offers sufficient connectivity for switch stacks, patch panels and smaller server environments despite its compact design. The single-phase 100–240V input with a 20A maximum input current and a power capacity of 3.8 kVA makes it flexible to deploy. Class 0.5 energy metering provides billing-grade accuracy per input, per breaker and per outlet. Individual outlets can be switched remotely, enabling targeted control of connected devices.
What monitoring functions does the horizontal PDU offer?
The power quality monitoring of the Legrand Raritan iX PDU captures voltage and current harmonic distortion, voltage sags and swells, neutral current, inrush currents as well as crest factor. The integrated color LCD display with auto-flip function shows all relevant measurements directly on the device. Remote management is available via HTTP(S), SSH, SNMP v2/v3, JSON-RPC API, MODBUS-TCP and Redfish API. In addition, the PDU supports environmental sensors for temperature, humidity, airflow, differential pressure, dust and water leakage. Up to 32 PDUs can be cascaded via a single Ethernet port and up to 8 PDUs can be linked via the link port.
For which use cases is the 1U PDU particularly suitable?
The horizontal 1U rack PDU is particularly suitable for installations where vertical rack space is limited or a horizontal mounting is preferred. Typical use cases are smaller server rooms, network cabinets, edge computing locations and telecommunications distribution cabinets. The hot-swappable controller allows the replacement of the control unit during operation without interrupting power. Automated provisioning via TFTP, DHCP, SSH or USB flash drives speeds up commissioning. With dual 10/100/1000 Ethernet ports, optional Wi‑Fi and the ability to log data via HTTP/S or MQTT, the PDU offers comprehensive connectivity for modern IT environments.
