ATEN PG6308G-AT power distribution unit (PDU) 8 AC outlet(s) 1U Black

When maintaining operating uptime in a data center or server room, sustainable energy efficiency can make all the difference. The implementation of effective power management often involves improvements at both the hardware and software level. ATEN is introducing its latest PG series of PDUs, available in IEC socket configuration, that are designed with 1U rack housing to accommodate the increasing demand for power to high-density IT equipment in server rooms and data centers. Each PG6308 PDU, utilizing an ARM-Cortex A8 processor, is equipped with 8 port outlets that can power up all connected equipment in less than 10 seconds once plugged in, and delivers the most accurate kWh energy usage data (+/-1%) for better power consumption habits, baselines, and initiative tracking. With energy saving in mind, the PG6308 is purposed to enable lower energy consumption for best practice in a network infrastructure, while promoting up to 35.04 kw equivalent of power consumption of reduced CO2 emission, reduced electricity expenses, and lower carbon taxes to pay each year.

Real-time Alerts via LCD Display
Once connected to an AC power source, the Home screen displays basic PDU readings, including A (Aggregate Current), V (Voltage), W (Power), and kWh (Power Consumption).

The LCD screen lights up red when a Critical, Alert (triggered when a PDU value exceeds a predefined threshold), or Warning (when a value approaches the alert threshold) event is logged.

Environment Sensors
The Sensor port enables RJ-45 connectivity to connect or daisy-chain up to 8 environment sensors (i.e. EA1640, sold separately) for monitoring and management of temperature, humidity, airflow, differential air pressure, and leaks, featuring alerts for potential threats.

Communicate through RS-232 Protocol
For quick and flexible operation, connecting a serial device to the PDU with its COM port provides another means to undertake communication via CLI commands.

Networkable via WiFi
The PG8308 can be networked via connection to a USB WiFi dongle to perform DCIM, firmware upgrade, log export, quick configuration, and more.

Dual LAN Ports for Scalable Network Setup
The PG8308 is equipped with dual LAN ports (Internet and Intranet) supporting up to 1G Ethernet connection, and can be cascaded to connect up to 64 PDUs, saving expense on installing extra network switches to incorporate network connections while sparing more rack space to accommodate more IT equipment in an expandable network.

DCIM Monitoring
Integrated with ATEN’s eco DC – a PC- and web-based tool for optimized Data Center Infrastructure Management (DCIM) – power distribution, energy, and environmental data from PDUs and connected devices can be monitored via a friendly web GUI for smart power management.

Applications
The PG series intelligent PDUs are perfectly suited to server rack installation requiring energy-efficient power distribution to high-density IT equipment in server rooms or data centers.
