Basic Metered PDU ATEN PE1118SG 1U 18 AC Outlets Surge Protection

The ATEN Basic Metered PDU PE1118SG is a 1U rack-mount power distribution unit with 18 AC outlets designed for reliable power delivery and monitoring in IT environments. It features a built-in surge protection module and overcurrent protection to reduce equipment downtime. Dual 3-digit 7-segment displays provide real-time input voltage and output current readings. The unit includes a 3 m power cable and supports 100–240 V operation with a maximum current rating of 10 A.

Advantages

The PE1118SG combines compact 1U form factor and rack-mount compatibility to save space and reduce cable clutter. Integrated surge protection safeguards connected equipment from sudden voltage spikes, while overcurrent protection helps prevent damage and minimize downtime. Real-time monitoring via dual 3-digit displays allows quick confirmation of input voltage and output current for centralized power management.

How to use

Install the PE1118SG in a 1U space within a standard rack using the included rack-mount hardware. Connect the unit to a suitable AC power source using the supplied 3 m cable, observing the 100–240 V and 10 A limits. Plug IT equipment into the PDU outlets, and monitor the input voltage and output current on the dual 3-digit displays to verify proper power status. Ensure outlet wiring and load distribution follow your site electrical policies.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid exceeding the 10 A maximum current rating and balance loads across outlets. Place the PDU in a properly ventilated rack space and verify surge protection status periodically. Use the front displays for quick checks, and integrate PDU monitoring into your standard maintenance routine.
