Product Description
Monitored eConnect® PDUs provide remote power monitoring to the input and branch circuit level, making it possible to obtain and manage power consumption at the cabinet level.
Key Features and Benefits
- Reduced Networking Costs and Complexity – Secure Array® allows the use of a single IP address for up to 48 connected PDUs (32 when electronic locks are integrated). Second IP address for the entire array provides failover capability.
- Resistance to High Temperature – Marketleading temperature ratings of up to 149°F (65°C) ensures reliability when mounted toward hot aisles.
- Simplified Load Balancing – Phase-balance outlets on three-phase models ensure equal loading across all phases; allows use of shorter equipment power cords for better cable and airflow management.
- No Accidental Disconnections – Patented, low-profile locking outlets prevent accidental disconnections without requiring special cords
- Easy Identification of Failover Unit – Redundancy Pack includes 2 PDUs (one in Black and one in Glacier White) for easy identification of the primary and secondary unit.
- Electronic Lock Integration – Patented technology seamlessly integrates PDU, environmental sensors and electronic locks into a single hardware and software solution
- Gigabit Ethernet – Ensures compatibility with enterprise routers and switches.
- Latest UL Compliance – Meets UL and IEC 62368 for compliance with new listing requirements for North America and the European Union.
- Cabinet Preinstallation – Complete ecosystem ships ready for IT equipment integration, and saves deployment time and reduces packaging waste.
- High Power Configurations – Configurations supporting up to 100A Input provide an optimized solution for GPU & AI based applications. 30A branch circuit breakers provide flexibility when plugging high power IT equipment.
Product Information
High‑Temperature Resilience and ea power Efficiency
The Monitored eConnect® PDU EA‑3243‑C delivers precise, per‑outlet power visibility for data‑center cabinets. With integrated SNMPv3 and a RESTful API, operators can collect real‑time consumption data across the entire 3243‑rated unit. The ea c architecture simplifies installation by consolidating networking to a single IP address. Secure Array® IP consolidation reduces cabling complexity, allowing up to 48 PDUs--including the ea3243 series--to share one network address. This feature also provides automatic failover, ensuring continuous monitoring even if a primary link fails. The built‑in 10/100/1000 MB Ethernet port supports seamless integration with enterprise switches. Designed for harsh environments, the EA‑3243‑C tolerates temperatures up to 149 degreesF (65 degreesC), protecting equipment in hot‑aisle deployments. The rugged enclosure includes a lockable front panel that meets UL and IEC 62368 standards. High‑temperature resilience extends the service life of both the PDU and connected IT assets. With a 1.9 kW capacity, the unit supports high‑density GPU and AI workloads that require stable power delivery. The ea power management features include +/-1 % metering accuracy and phase‑balanced outlets for balanced load distribution. Field‑replaceable controllers enable quick upgrades without removing the PDU from the rack. Choosing the Monitored eConnect® PDU aligns with CPI's commitment to reliable, scalable infrastructure. Its combination of remote monitoring, secure array networking, and temperature tolerance makes it ideal for hyperscale and edge data centers. The 3,243 designation highlights its compatibility with CPI's broader power management ecosystem, and a CPI sales specialist can help integrate this solution into your next deployment.
