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.
- Universal Input – A single PDU design with detachable input cords supports global AC power standards, streamlining procurement, reducing inventory complexity, accelerating deployment, and ensuring reliable high-power performance across worldwide data centers.
Product Information
Key Benefits of the EA-3243-E Monitored PDU
The eConnect® EA-3243-E delivers precise power distribution in a 1U form factor, ideal for dense data‑center environments. As a monitored PDU, it offers a comprehensive pdu with power monitoring solution that captures real‑time load data at the inlet and each branch circuit. Its Glacier White finish blends seamlessly with standard rack aesthetics while providing reliable operation at temperatures up to 149 degreesF (65 degreesC). Remote power monitoring capabilities enable administrators to view consumption trends through a secure web interface, reducing the need for on‑site visits. The built‑in intelligence aggregates data into actionable reports that support capacity planning and energy‑efficiency initiatives. By centralizing visibility, the device helps prevent overloads and improves overall system reliability. Security is reinforced through patented low‑profile locking outlets that eliminate accidental disconnects, addressing critical pdu security concerns. Integration with Secure Array® IP consolidation allows up to 48 PDUs to share a single IP address, simplifying network management and reducing exposure. An optional electronic lock module further secures power access in regulated environments. The EA-3243-E supports Gigabit Ethernet and complies with the latest UL® and IEC 62368 standards, ensuring compatibility with enterprise networking gear. Its field‑replaceable controller streamlines maintenance, and the redundant pack design provides immediate failover without service interruption. High‑temperature tolerance makes it suitable for hot‑aisle deployments and edge‑site installations. Chatsworth Products (CPI) backs the solution with global availability, rapid customization, and expert technical support. Customers benefit from CPI's extensive distributor network and access to design tools such as the CPI Product Designer. The EA-3243‑E exemplifies CPI's commitment to delivering high‑quality, secure power management for today's AI‑driven, high‑performance computing workloads.
