Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU

Step into next‑level power distribution with the Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU. Engineered for data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments that demand high reliability, precise visibility, and scalable management, this monitored PDU is more than a power strip—it’s a comprehensive power quality and energy‑management solution. The G5 model balances dense outlet provision with intelligent control, allowing you to monitor, control, and optimize every watt flowing through your IT infrastructure. Designed to work with IEC 60309 3P+E inputs and delivering 208 V AC power through a mix of 12 IEC 60320 C13 and 12 IEC 60320 C19 outlets, the G5 PDU offers a robust footprint for mixed equipment while occupying only 0U of rack space. Its networked RJ-45 interface enables centralized management, enabling proactive decision‑making that reduces energy waste, improves uptime, and minimizes the total cost of ownership. For facilities teams and IT administrators, SmartZone G5 translates complex power data into actionable insights, empowering load balancing decisions and ensuring critical devices stay powered when it matters most.

• Comprehensive monitoring and remote control: The G5 PDU delivers real-time outlet telemetry and remote management capabilities, enabling centralized visibility and control across the entire power distribution network via a standard network interface (RJ-45).
• High-density outlet configuration: With 24 outlets—12 x IEC 60320 C13 and 12 x IEC 60320 C19—this PDU supports a broad range of data-center devices while maintaining a compact 0U, vertical form factor for space‑efficient rack deployments.
• Robust electrical and safety design: The IEC 60309 3P+E input provides a reliable three‑phase supply with protective earth, tailored for demanding data-center environments where reliability and safety are paramount.
• Space-saving, rack-mountable form factor: The vertical 0U design fits neatly into standard 19" racks, freeing floor space and enabling scalable, tidy cable management in densely populated racks.
• Energy‑efficient, cost-conscious operation: With load-balancing and power‑management capabilities, the SmartZone G5 supports smarter energy decisions, helping minimize over-provisioning and reduce cooling and operating costs across the data center footprint.

How to install Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU

• Plan the rack location and ensure there is sufficient space for cables and front-access handling. Verify that the chosen rack can accommodate the 0U vertical footprint and allows easy access to all outlets.
• Mount the PDU in the rack using standard 19" rack hardware, securing it firmly so it remains stable during maintenance or cable movement.
• Connect the input power to the facility’s IEC 60309 3P+E supply, confirming voltage and grounding compatibility with your data-center electrical system.
• Route and label cables to the 24 outlets (12 C13 and 12 C19) with attention to front-access usability and tidy cable management, keeping hot-swappable devices reachable for maintenance.
• Establish network connectivity by connecting the RJ-45 management port to your data-center network. Access the PDU's management interface to configure monitoring, alert thresholds, and basic energy policies.
• Power on the unit and verify that telemetry is reporting correctly. Check for status indicators, confirm remote management reachability, and perform any recommended firmware updates to ensure security and feature alignment.
