CyberPower PDU44004 power distribution unit (PDU) 12 AC outlet(s) 1U Black

The CyberPower PDU44004 is a managed 1U rack power distribution unit providing reliable power distribution from a UPS, generator, or utility source to multiple IT devices. It includes dual power cords for redundant input connections, an automatic transfer switch (ATS) that switches between sources when thresholds are exceeded or a source fails, and remote individual outlet control over the network for on/off management of connected equipment. The unit features a hot-swappable Ethernet module compatible with PowerPanel® software and a web interface for real-time monitoring and configuration, a color-configurable digital LCD for easy identification of devices, event logging via network or browser, and support for an optional environmental sensor via RJ45. Firmware updates are supported through the USB port.

Advantages

The PDU44004 supports redundant dual-input operation with automatic switching to maintain continuous power, managed outlet control for remote reboot or shutdown of individual loads, and real-time monitoring of voltage, current and power through the network. Its hot-swappable Ethernet module allows maintenance without powering down the PDU, and the color-configurable LCD simplifies identification of racks or device groups. Event notifications are available via email, SMS or SNMP traps for timely response to power events.

Suitable for

• Server racks and data centers requiring managed power distribution and redundancy
• Remote IT environments where administrators need outlet-level control and monitoring
• Environments requiring environmental monitoring (temperature/humidity) via optional sensor

How to use

Install the PDU into a 1U rack space and connect its dual power cords to separate power sources (UPS, generator or utility) to enable redundancy. Configure the network connection using the hot-swappable Ethernet module and access the PowerPanel® software or the web interface to set monitoring thresholds, outlet groups, and alert preferences. Use the LCD to assign colors for quick visual identification of connected device groups. Control individual outlets remotely through the web interface, SNMP commands or PowerPanel® for power cycling or scheduled operations.

Recommendations

Ensure both input power sources are properly rated (200–240 V, up to 12 A) and wired according to local electrical codes. Regularly update firmware via the USB port and enable event notifications to receive immediate alerts. Consider adding the optional ENVIROSENSOR for temperature and humidity monitoring in the rack environment.
