With data center space bringing a premium price these days most providers are looking for a way to increase the density within their cabinets. The challenge there becomes – How do I add control of those devices and outlets with minimal cost and hassle? With our switched expansion unit PDUs it is possible for you to double the number of outlets you can control on a single IP address.

The Expansion Module PDU is our exclusive method for linking together outlets on different power circuits.

The Expansion Module PDU increases the number of managed outlets on a single IP address. Each expansion module links to its parent switched PDU, which contains both network and serial interfaces. When linked to a master switched PDU, the  the expansion unit’s outlets are auto-discovered by the mast PDU’s firmware, and all available outlets are viewable through the firmware.

On the master PDU, outlets are individually controllable, or groups of outlets can be controlled between the master and expansion unit with one command. You can then reboot a single or dual-power supplied servers with one command from a single IP address. There is no need to log out of one unit and into the other to reboot two outlets at a time.

As with all of our units, these are industrial grade PDUs and they come in a variety of form factors to meet your application needs.
