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 Monitored eConnect PDU
The EA-3248-C monitored eConnect® PDU, part of the EA electronics portfolio, delivers granular power insight at the cabinet level. Its built‑in metering provides +/-1 percent accuracy, enabling precise load analysis across all outlets. Data center operators can rely on the unit's robust design for continuous operation. Secure Array® IP consolidation reduces network complexity by allowing a single IP address to manage up to 48 PDUs in a rack. The EA‑3248‑C leverages this technology, delivering seamless integration with existing management platforms. This approach minimizes cabling and simplifies troubleshooting. High‑temperature resilience, rated to 149 degreesF (65 degreesC), ensures reliable performance even in hot‑aisle deployments. The PDU's thermal tolerance protects critical components during peak load periods. Customers benefit from reduced cooling overhead and sustained uptime. The unit supports SNMPv1/v2/v3, RESTful API, and LDAP/RADIUS authentication for secure remote monitoring. Administrators can access real‑time metrics through an onboard GUI or integrate data into centralized DCIM systems. This flexibility aligns with AI‑driven workload optimization strategies. Designed for 1U or higher cabinets, the EA‑3248‑C includes locking C13 outlets and a field‑replaceable controller for easy maintenance. Its modular redundancy pack simplifies failover identification in dual‑PDU configurations. With CPI's global support, the solution scales from enterprise to hyperscale environments.
