Introducing the Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU, a high-performance, monitored power distribution unit engineered for modern data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments where uptime, efficiency, and precise power management are non-negotiable. This 0U, vertical rack-mountable PDU provides robust distribution across 24 outlets—split between 12 IEC 60320 C13 and 12 IEC 60320 C19 sockets—designed to accommodate a diverse mix of IT gear, networking equipment, and storage servers. Built to operate in 208 V AC environments, the SmartZone G5 delivers accurate, real-time power metrics and advanced monitoring features that empower IT teams to optimize load balance, prevent overloads, and plan capacity with confidence. With a compact footprint and enterprise-grade management capabilities, this PDU integrates seamlessly into Panduit’s SmartZone ecosystem, offering scalable, centralized control across racks and rows while delivering clear visibility into energy usage and device health. In short, the Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU is not just a power strip—it’s a sophisticated power management solution designed to elevate reliability, efficiency, and operational intelligence in modern IT environments.
- Comprehensive 24-outlet configuration: 12 x IEC 60320 C13 and 12 x IEC 60320 C19 sockets provide flexible connectivity for servers, storage devices, switches, and other critical equipment, enabling efficient power distribution in high-density rack environments while preserving valuable rack space and reducing cable clutter.
- Monitored power with real-time analytics: The G5 delivers continuous visibility into voltage, current, power, and energy consumption for the entire PDU and, where supported, individual outlets. This enables proactive capacity planning, rapid fault isolation, and meaningful, data-driven decisions to optimize energy use and thermal performance across the rack.
- Networked management for centralized control: Equipped with a standard RJ-45 Ethernet interface, the SmartZone G5 integrates with existing IT networks and management systems. IT staff can monitor, alert, and report from a single pane of glass, enabling scalable governance for multi-rack deployments and data center ecosystems.
- Space-efficient, rack-ready design: The 0U vertical form factor fits into standard 19-inch racks without consuming precious front-panel space, helping to maximize cabinet density. The rugged construction is built to endure the rigors of demanding data center environments, with attention to reliability and steady operation under load.
- Easy deployment and scalable integration: Designed to work within Panduit’s SmartZone software family, the G5 PDU supports straightforward deployment, intuitive configuration, and scalable management across multiple PDUs and racks. This enables IT teams to extend monitoring coverage as infrastructure grows, with consistent policies and reporting across the environment.

How to install Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 24-Outlets PDU
- Prepare the rack: Ensure you have a clean, vibration-free rack space with adequate clearance for cooling and cable management. Verify that the rack is rated to support the weight and electrical requirements of the PDU.
- Mount the PDU: Attach the PDU to the rack using the supplied hardware designed for 19-inch racks. Align with the vertical elevation that best fits your equipment density, and secure the mounting points tightly to prevent movement during operation.
- Connect to power: Route the appropriate power cord and connect the PDU to a suitable circuit that matches the 208 V AC rating. Ensure power availability and stabilize the electrical environment to support sustained loads without tripping breakers.
- Establish network access: Connect the PDU’s RJ-45 port to your management network using a standard Ethernet cable. Confirm network reachability from your IT management console or SmartZone hub to enable monitoring, alerts, and data collection.
- Configure monitoring and alerts: Access the PDU’s management interface or SmartZone software to enable voltage, current, and energy monitoring. Set alert thresholds, notification channels (email, SNMP traps, or API calls as supported), and create reporting schedules to suit your operational requirements.
- Verify operation: Power on connected devices, verify outlet activity, and confirm that metrics are being reported in real time. Validate that alerting is functioning as intended, and establish a baseline for energy usage and load distribution across the 24 outlets.
