Server Tech Launches Switched, 3-Phase, 400V, 32A CDU With Mixed-Outlets (18 C13 & 6 C19)

July 27, 2009 by Jeff Shepard

Server Technology announced the availability of the CW-24V4 mixed-outlet Cabinet Power Distribution Unit. This is a 3-Phase CDU with 32A and 400V, making this a high-density power distribution solution. The mixed outlet configuration consists of (18) IEC C13 outlets and (6) IEC C19 outlets. Each outlet can be switched on, off, or rebooted via the CDU’s built-in firmware.

The web GUI can easily be accessed via IP, network, the SPM (Sentry Power Manager) software system, or serial connection. The local current monitors, positioned on the top front panel of the CDU, can easily be inverted via the web GUI or serial interface to provide True RMS current monitoring for onsite verification of the current draw (in Amps) on each power circuit, no matter which way the CDU is installed in the rack. This Switched CDU has top front-panel network, serial, and environmental connections along with a bottom power cord entry.

Along with the original 24 outlets on the CDU, an expansion CDU can be linked to the master. Both the master and expansion can be controlled under one IP address. This product uses circuit breakers for branch circuit protection. This meets the UL 60950-1 requirement for branch circuit protection.

The three local current LED monitors provide True Digital RMS current monitoring for onsite verification of the current draw (in Amps) on each branch circuit and are critical for preventing overloads in high-density computing environments. Local and remote current meters on each branch circuit also make it easy to balance the load and ensure efficient operation when distributing power from 3-Phase circuits.

The Switched product line allows for network monitoring, management, and control of the CDU using either the serial interface, internal web interface or the Sentry Power Manager (SPM) Software System. Each Switched CDU that Server Technology produces, including this mixed-outlet 400V model, supports two external ten-foot probes used to monitor both temperature and humidity.
