  • Patent number: 9583902
    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses are provided in which outlets are coupled to a power distribution unit (PDU) or PDU module in various configurations. The outlets may be coupled to a recessed surface within a PDU housing. The outlets may be coupled to a printed circuit board that is at least partially disposed within the PDU housing. The outlets may extend away from the recessed surface or printed circuit board towards or beyond a front face of the PDU housing. An end cap can be connected to the outlets that is color coded to indicate an output capacity of the outlet.

  • Patent number: 9438017
    Abstract: Apparatuses and devices are provided that allow for a power input cord to be placed in two or more different orientations relative to a power distribution unit. A power distribution unit may be provided with one or more input cord assemblies that allow an input cord to be swiveled such that the cord exits an outside plane of the power distribution unit at a different angle. Such an assembly allows a power distribution unit to be placed in an equipment rack and coupled with an input power source in a flexible and convenient manner. Clearances and dimensions of equipment racks may be modified to provide enhanced space usage, efficiency, and/or density in a facility.

  • Publication number: 20150072553
    Abstract: A power distribution unit including a housing having a front face and at least one housing aperture formed therethrough. A power input is coupled with the housing and connectable to an external power source. At least one molded multi receptacle module is located at least partially within the housing. The molded multi receptacle module includes a recessed surface and a plurality of outlet cores extending from the recessed surface toward the housing aperture. The outlet cores include an unobstructed space between adjacent pairs of the outlet cores and each outlet core includes at least two aligned power-connection elements.

  • Publication number: 20130294014
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for power parameter sensing using power sensing components integrated into a relay are described. A power distribution unit may be provided with switched outputs that may provide or interrupt power provided to the output through a plurality of relays. The plurality of relays may include an integrated power sensor configured to sense one or more power parameters associated with power delivered to a respective power output. A power-related information reporting system may be coupled with the relays and configured to report power-related information derived from the power sensor to a remote system.
