Enclosures add power distribution
A comprehensive family of power products caters for all levels of power demand in server enclosures.
Increased power densities, particularly in server enclosures, have placed increasing emphasis on bringing power into the rack in an efficient way, monitoring and controlling the power input and generally managing the power distribution within the enclosure. APW Enclosure Solutions has introduced a comprehensive family of power products to cater for all levels of power demand. The standard power strips have been upgraded; they are now available in 13, 16 and 32A versions.
Modular ipower intelligent power strips, which feature RS232 remote control and monitoring, local LED or LCD display and optional network integration, are scalable up to 30 outlets.
Applications with high numbers of individual servers installed in the rack can be powered using high density strips, which offer up to 48 individual outputs, have branch circuit overload protection and local monitoring, are available in single and three phase versions and can have single or dual feeds.
Sequential switching reduces the initial inrush currents on start-up and enables individual sockets to be remotely switched.
The 1U 19in high power distribution unit provides a single 32 or 63A power connection with the ability to feed up to 96 individual units.
To manage and monitor the power distribution over the network, the Netcom unit, which supports SNMP, telnet and web, monitors two ipower strips - up to 60 individual outlets - for total current, voltage and power.
To provide additional security, circuit protection strips, fitted with fuses, MCBs or RCBs are available in a variety of sizes and configurations.
