CPI Adds High-Density PDUs to eConnect Intelligent Power Product Line

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, California, Feb. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Chatsworth Products (CPI) recently expanded its eConnect® line of intelligent power distribution units (PDUs) to include high-density PDUs in 50A and 60A 208V that meet power loads of up to 17kW per PDU.

This new addition addresses the growing industrywide demand for High Performance Computing (HPC), virtualisation and cloud computing. High-density eConnect PDUs with six built-in circuit breakers are also the answer to customers predicting two- to three-year power growth deploying blade servers, network switches and cabinets with over 30 servers.

Additionally, CPI added new features to all eConnect models. Engineered to withstand the heat loads of any hot aisle environment, eConnect PDUs have the highest ambient temperature rating in the market (149 degrees F/65 degrees C).

Other features include:

• PDU linking or IP consolidation up to 20 PDUs
• Input line and outlet amperage on local display and web interface
• Back-up master PDU for daisy chaining
• Smart daisy chaining sorting
