1 Reduces Your Time to Market
When you install a ready-made solution for your power distribution needs, you get up and running faster than doing it yourself. You don’t have to schedule contractors or take the risk of improper wiring. Thus, a PDU not only saves time; it removes a portion of the risk from phase imbalances and improper rotation.
2 Lowers Total System Cost
There is frequently more than meets the eye when it comes to installing new systems. There are many ‘hidden’ costs of designing and building your own rack mount power equipment. These include items such as facilities overhead, administration, employee benefits, and the reallocation of your engineering staff. Most key professionals, regardless of their industry, support the use of strategic outsourcing to some degree. Let’s face it, no company can do it all themselves. From using a payroll service to having a contractor paint your building, buying the expertise of others makes sense. Although it may appear to ‘save’ money to do it yourself (in-house), when you add it all up, it’s usually not all that cost effective and may in fact cost you more.
3 Esthetically Attractive
A rack mounted power distribution unit is a clean solution that speaks to quality. From a custom formed enclosure to a contained wiring chassis to a tight cabling wrap, making it look clean and orderly increases the visual appeal. This is especially important when you’re trying to create a good first impression with visiting prospective customers. Unfortunate as it is, people judge by looks and so creating a professional look makes you look professional.
4 Ease of Installation
Unpack the unit, mount it in the rack, plug it in, plug your components into the PDU, turn it on, and your good to go. Unless you’re an electrical contractor, your staff has better things to do than connect wires, solder leads and strap cables with zip-ties.
5 Simple and Efficient Operation
The rack mount power distribution unit is meant to last the life of your system. They can last many years and provide near flawless operation during that time. A well-built unit gives you high quality, high performance components that protect your equipment.
6 Movable and Repositionable
Modularity is the key to flexible change. PDU’s are designed and engineered function in a defined space that can be moved and repositioned as needed. This means that whether you are moving a rack to another location or need to move the PDU to another rack, the unit can be easily pulled out and reinstalled elsewhere or re-installed in the same rack at a later time.
7 PDU’s Give You the Power to Control Your Power
Homeowner-grade hardware strips are usually nothing more than a high grade extension cord. They offer no serious protection from an industrial point of view. When your rack is outfitted with an industrial grade rack mount AC or DC power distribution unit to distribute the power, you gain a big advantage over conventional electrician hardwire or hardware store strips. A rack mount PDU can provide true EMI filtering, a magnetic circuit breaker for continuous actuate protection, and a remote control system with multiple control functions.
