30A/32A 8-Outlet 1U Outlet-Metered & Switched eco PDU

With the integration of remote power control and real-time power measurement, users can manage and monitor the power status of devices connected to the PG8308 PDUs from virtually anywhere with an IP connection. This functionality is accessible at the PDU device, bank, or outlet level, depending on the specific model.

These intelligent PDUs are capable of handling high voltage ranges of 100V to 240V. Additionally, they provide precise kWh energy usage data with an accuracy of ±1%. This level of precision enhances the monitoring of power consumption, aids in the establishment of baseline energy usage, and supports the tracking of energy efficiency initiatives.

In terms of hardware design, the PG8308 series PDUs incorporate built-in energy-saving relays – subtypes of electromagnetic switches – to manage large current flows more efficiently, resulting in lower energy consumption compared to non-relay models. The built-in circuit breaker on the PG8308B and PG8308G models support current flows of 30A or 32A, automatically disconnecting the power supply to prevent overloads and protect connected devices from damage.

The firmware of the PG8308 series is upgradeable via web GUI or USB, allowing users to conveniently download updates from ATEN's website, ensuring access to the latest functionalities and improvements for practical use.

Green LCD console panel sticker is included for users, with additional options in blue, yellow, red, and purple available for purchase. This color-coding system enhances the ability to differentiate between power feed settings and facilitates more efficient troubleshooting.

The PG series intelligent PDUs are ideally suited for enterprise server rooms, network closets, and data centers, providing an intelligent power distribution and management solution that meets the demands of high-density IT applications while optimizing overall costs.
