Monitored Rack PDU's
Powerlok Rack PDU's – Next Generation of Rack Power Distributions
With automated soldering from line input to each receptacle, PowerLok® eliminates all mechanical connections, making it 270% less likely to fail than rack PDUs with mechanical terminations.
- Proven 270% greater reliability over rack PDUs with mechanical terminations
- Slim vertical design with high visibility group markings
- Angled input cord improves access and reduces bend radius
- Available with covers in multiple colors to quickly identify separate power feeds
- Standards models stocked for quick shipment
- Optional touchscreen display for advanced local monitoring
Slim Modern Vertical Design and Angled Input Whip
At only 2.18″ wide x 2″ deep, PowerLok’s slim profile makes the PDU more agile and aesthetically pleasing within IT equipment racks while offering the greatest receptacle density and highly visible group marking. In addition, PowerLok features an input cord that is angled toward the server rack exit to improve access to the backs of servers. This allows for greater length with more receptacles over PDUs with end cords while reducing bend radius and providing a natural egress from the server cabinet.
Universal Cord Lock Technology
PowerLok features a patent-pending cord locking system for easy insertion, retention, and detachment of plugs into the receptacles, coined CordLok®. With no insertion resistance, CordLok allows for insertion and removal with a single hand while offering an industry leading receptacle density that secures C13 and C19 cords. CordLok is an economically viable solution that provides peace of mind at an average cost of $1 per receptacle.
Molded & Shielded Power Cords
Power cords are commonly used between a high-end PDU and server in a data rack or cabinet. In data environments keep length of cords to a minimum to avoid contact with ethernet cables.
Benefits
- Mission critical Cisco® and Juniper Networks® dual power supplies can now both be powered with our thin IEC320 C15 form factor, which doesn’t obstruct the adjacent inlet.

Vertiv Analog & Dry Contact Monitoring
Magnetic normally-closed dry-contact sensor used to monitor remote door position. Various sensor lengths available. Compatible with Vertiv™ Geist™ rPDUs and Environmental Monitors.
What are the most popular remote sensors?
Remote Temperature for monitoring “hot” spots and other trouble areas. Water Sensor to check for water leaks. Door Contact Sensor to see if a door is open. Remote temperature / air flow / humidity for ensuring the proper environment. Climate monitoring in remote locations.
What is the difference between analog and digital sensors?
Analog sensors connect through the analog inputs. These sensors are either a dry contact or provide a 0 to 5VDC signal. On the Web interface, they show up as “IO” sensors and have a value 0 to 99. Digital sensors connect to digital input ports and communicate through a serial protocol. These are also referred to as Plug-n-Play, Remote, or External sensors. Digital sensors are auto-detected by the climate monitor. Measurements from these devices are graphed and report in the appropriate units.
