Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 48-Outlets PDU
Meet the Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 48-Outlets PDU, a purpose-built power distribution solution engineered for modern data centers, server rooms, and high-density IT environments. This monitored PDU combines rugged electrical design with intelligent remote management, giving IT teams real-time visibility into power delivery, outlet-level control, and energy usage. With a compact 0U vertical form factor, it fits seamlessly into tight rack spaces while delivering a robust slate of features that help prevent downtime, optimize efficiency, and simplify rack-level power administration.
- Monitored power with remote visibility: The SmartZone G5 provides continuous monitoring of voltage, current, power draw, and energy consumption across all outlets, delivering critical insights through the network. Whether you’re managing a single rack or an entire data center, you can track power trends, identify overconsumption hotspots, and respond rapidly to anomalies to keep workloads running smoothly.
- Flexible outlet configuration for diverse equipment: It offers 36 IEC 60320 C13 outlets and 12 IEC 60320 C19 outlets, accommodating a wide range of servers, storage devices, networking gear, and edge appliances. The mixed outlet mix is ideal for data centers that deploy a variety of equipment with different power requirements in a single rack footprint.
- Three-phase input for scalable power distribution: Designed for IEC 60309 3P+E input at 208 V AC, the PDU supports modern data center power architectures, delivering balanced, reliable distribution across three power phases to maximize efficiency and redundancy in up-to-date rack deployments.
- Network-enabled management (RJ-45): A built-in RJ-45 network interface enables seamless integration with existing IT management tools and data center infrastructure. Retrieve real-time metrics, configure outlets, set alarms, and perform remote power control from your preferred management platform—without onsite visits.
- Space-saving, rack-ready design: The 0U vertical form factor is specifically engineered for dense rack configurations. It delivers high outlet density without sacrificing accessibility, helping you optimize rack space in crowded data centers and edge deployments.

How to install Panduit SmartZone G5 Intelligent 48-Outlets PDU
- Prepare the rack and power source: Ensure your rack is rated for the PDU’s weight and that you have a compatible 208 V AC three-phase supply with IEC 60309 connectors. Verify that the rack area has network access for the RJ-45 management interface.
- Mount the PDU in the rack: Slide the Monitored PDU into the 0U space at the rear of the rack and secure it with appropriate mounting hardware. The vertical design minimizes footprint while maximizing outlet density.
- Connect input power: Attach the IEC 60309 3P+E input connector to the corresponding power source. Confirm proper grounding and verify that the supply voltage aligns with the PDU’s specifications to avoid damage or inaccurate readings.
- Attach devices to outlets: Plug servers, storage, and networking gear into the 36 C13 and 12 C19 outlets according to your layout and power management plan. Group devices with similar load profiles to simplify monitoring and balancing.
- Configure network access and management: Connect the PDU’s RJ-45 port to your network and access the management interface via your preferred tool or browser. Enable monitoring, set alert thresholds, and define outlet-level permissions. Test remote power cycling and verify that metrics are streaming correctly to your dashboard.
- Validate operation: Power up all connected devices, confirm that voltage and current readings appear in the management interface, and test basic functionality such as outlet power cycling and alert notifications. Document the configuration for future reference and audits.
