ATEN 16A 16 Outlet Switched Bank Metered PDU + Free Eco PDU Manager Software

The ATEN PE6216 is a 0U monitored power distribution unit (PDU) from the NRGence line, featuring 16 AC outlets with C13 and C19 couplers and a 3 m power cable. Designed for rack environments, this intelligent eco PDU provides remote, centralised control and real-time power measurement to improve data centre power efficiency. It supports SNMP v1/v2/v3 and works with ATEN eco Sensors and eco PDU Manager software for environmental monitoring and device management.

Advantages

The PE6216 offers individual outlet-level on/off and power cycling, combined with real-time measurement of current, voltage, power and energy (watt-hour). Its networked TCP/IP access enables remote management of attached devices and comprehensive power analysis reports. Compatibility with standard SNMP managers and ATEN's eco software provides flexible monitoring and centralized configuration, while built-in security features help protect access to power controls.

Suitable for

• Rack-mounted servers and storage systems
• Network devices and KVM switches
• Small to medium data centre racks requiring monitored PDUs
• Environments needing outlet-level power control and energy monitoring

How to use

Install the PE6216 in a rack as a 0U PDU and connect the unit to the mains using the integrated 3 m cable. Attach IT equipment to the appropriate C13 or C19 outlets. Configure network settings (IP address, SNMP credentials) via the device web interface or ATEN eco PDU Manager. Use the interface or SNMP management tool to view real-time power metrics and to perform outlet-level on/off or power-cycle operations.

Recommendations

Connect power-hungry devices to appropriate outlets (C19 for higher current draw) and use the per-outlet monitoring to balance loads across the rack. Regularly update access credentials and management software, and integrate environmental sensors for temperature and humidity monitoring to ensure reliable operation and accurate energy reporting.
