Panduit P38D28M Metered Intelligent Pdu 30 Amp

Product Description

The PANDUIT P38D28M is a metered intelligent power distribution unit (PDU) designed for rack-mount data center and network closet applications. It provides 30 amps of total capacity distributed across 30 IEC C13 outlets and 6 IEC C19 outlets, giving technicians the flexibility to power a high-density mix of servers, switches, and other rack equipment. The built-in metering allows facility and IT staff to monitor load in real time, supporting power capacity planning and preventing circuit overloads. Installation is handled by qualified electricians or data center technicians familiar with rack power infrastructure.

This PDU is suited for high-density rack environments in commercial data centers, enterprise network rooms, and colocation facilities. The combination of C13 and C19 receptacles supports a wide range of rack-mounted equipment including standard 1U servers, blade chassis, and high-draw network appliances. Its 30-amp feed makes it appropriate for use on dedicated 30-amp branch circuits as required by applicable electrical codes.

Key Features

• 30-amp total capacity for high-density rack power distribution
• 30 IEC C13 outlets for standard server and network device connections
• 6 IEC C19 outlets for high-draw equipment requiring larger receptacles
• Metered intelligent design supports real-time load monitoring
• Rack-mount form factor fits standard 19-inch equipment racks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style rack PDU for use in standard 19-inch equipment racks in data center and network closet environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified data center technician. De-energize the branch circuit before connecting or disconnecting the PDU. Verify that the upstream circuit breaker rating matches the PDU input requirements before energizing. Follow NEC guidelines for branch circuit loading, typically not exceeding 80 percent of the rated circuit capacity under continuous load.
