Intelligent Dual-Feed Rack PDU
W Series Intelligent Single-Phase Dual-Feed PDUs are designed to house two smart PDUs in a single chassis, facilitating easier PDU setup, saves spacing, and consolidating IP addresses. Dual-feed PDUs can be used for redundant power or as separate PDUs. Colored layout to distinguish between primary and redundant (A&B) feeds. The meter not only allows monitoring for 2 PDUs, but also supports up to 32 cascade levels. Switched PDU models are also available that can provide remote on/off outlet switching functionality from anywhere in the world.
Key Features
InfraPower W series Dual Feed PDU is designed to house two PDUs in a single chassis which only requires one side installation. With InfraPower Dual Feed PDU, power & data cable separation is easily achieved. In addition, space-saving design and Red + Blue distinguishable layout contribute to a well-organized rack cabling. The creative 1 Meter 2 PDUs solution not only allows local monitoring for 2 PDUs by one meter, but also supports PDU daisy chain connection for saving network IP addresses.

Traditionally, data center racks are equipped with two PDUs positioned in the rear left and right side respectively. InfraPower W series Dual Feed PDU is designed to house two PDUs in a single chassis which only requires one side installation. Hence, this facilitates PDU setup and saves spacing. Users also benefit from the Red + Blue colored layout to distinguish the primary & secondary PDUs. -
Creatively, Austin Hughes develops 1 Meter 2 PDUs solution - InfraPower W series Dual Feed PDU. The sophisticated LCD touchscreen meter is integrated in a single chassis but for both primary and secondary PDUs. The meter not only allows local monitoring for 2 PDUs, but also supports up to 16 cascade levels. By the patent IP dongle, only one IP is required to access up to 32 PDUs in a single cascade group. -
It becomes one of the cable management standard to separate power and data cables inside a rack. On the one hand, it minimizes the erratic data transfer as well as EMI. On the other hand, it distinguishes the power & data cabling. By InfraPower Dual Feed PDU, power & data cable separation is easily achieved. In addition, space-saving design and Red + Blue distinguishable layout contribute to a well-organized rack cabling. -
Power and data cables should be kept apart in order to avoid interference. It is a typical practice to isolate power cabling to one side of the rack, whether it is for primary or secondary power connection. InfraPower Dual Feed PDU series offers an efficient, convenient & space saving solution - Primary & Secondary PDUs are integrated to one unit with dual power feed.
Sophisticated W Meter with 2.8” LCD
Austin Hughes developed the 1 Meter 2 PDUs W series Dual Feed PDU solution. The sophisticated LCD touchscreen meter is integrated in a single chassis but for both primary and secondary PDUs. It provides not only local metering but also connection ports for PDU daisy chain as well as external sensor.
The 2.8” color LCD provides a sharp and highly visible display of kWh, kW, Power Factor, Volt, Amp, Temperature and Humidity. Apart from monitoring, W meter provides the cascade ports for daisy chain up to 64 smart PDUs. For PDU IP access, simply connect one IP Dongle for all daisy chain PDUs. This allows use of a single IP address throughout the power network.
W meter is field replaceable unit which is hot swappable without the need to power down the PDU and the mission critical equipment. Moreover, it provides real-time local & remote power monitoring with +/- 1% billing-grade accuracy.
Consolidated Solution with Dual Power
InfraPower Dual-Feed PDUs can be used as two separate smart PDUs with efficient power management & monitoring, OR as a solution for Redundant Power.
N+1 Redundant Power ensures uptime of connected servers by providing two separate power sources to each device. When used on a dual-feed device or with an InfraPower ATS, If the primary power feed fails, the device will automatically switch power to the other source.
The Patented PDU IP Dongle provides IP remote access to the PDUs by a true network IP address chain. Only one PDU IP Dongle allows access to max. 32 Dual-Feed PDUs in a single daisy chain – which is a highly efficient application for saving not only the IP remote accessories cost, but also the true IP addresses required on the PDU management.
Hot-Pluggable design facilitates the IP Dongle installation. Simply integrate the PDU IP Dongle to the first PDU, then the entire daisy chain group can be remote over IP.
PDU IP Dongle – Dual LAN
– IPD-03-S: For 0U / 2U iPDU
– IPD-H03-S: For 1U iPDU
– Up to 32 levels in daisy chain
– US & Worldwide Patents
Daisy Chain Cascades up to 32 Levels
InfraPower® Dual-Feed Rack Intelligent PDUs provide connection ports for PDU daisy chain. To daisy chain units, each smart PDU can simply be connected in series to the next by Cat5/6 cables. With Dual LAN PDU IP Dongle (IPD-03-S / IPD-H03-S), up to 32 daisy chain levels can be achieved.
High Efficiency PDU Remote Management
Patented PDU IP Dongle provides IP remote access to the PDUs by a true network IP address chain. Only one network IP is required for max. 32 PDUs in a single daisy chain. InfraPower offers 3 kinds of remote management solutions for users’ selection. Management Software IPM-04, Web-based GUI, or 3rd Party DCIM via SNMP V2/V3 or REST API. The free but comprehensive IPM-04 supports up to 50 IP groups. Hence, 1600 Dual Feed PDUs can be remotely managed from anywhere.
PDU Remote Management Over IP
PDU remote management helps reducing manpower and hence improving uptime and productivity. It also benefits users with capacity planning and increasing the overall efficiency of the data center. InfraPower® intelligent PDU offers 3 kinds of remote management solutions for users’ selection.
Integrated Web-based Management Software (GUI)
A web-based GUI is integrated with our Intelligent PDUs. It is ideal for some users who simply require the power
monitoring and input switching over IP.
Control Through 3rd Party DCIM via SNMP or REST API
Nowadays, many data centers apply the DCIM ( Data Center Infrastructure Management ) in order to centralize the management for monitoring power, cooling and environmental factors across facilities and IT systems. InfraPower intelligent PDUs support SNMP V2/V3 and REST API integration and hence user can remotely manage the PDU via their DCIM.
Free PDU Management Software (IPM-04)
InfraPower® Manager IPM-04 is the free, powerful and user friendly PDU management software provided with W Series PDUs.
Administrators can remotely manage smart PDUs and the connected sensors via the web browser. The Windows based software consolidates management of max. 1600 1-Phase & 3-Phase PDUs via 50 Dual LAN IP dongles (IPD-03-S / IPD-H03-S). 5 concurrent user access licenses are part of the IPM-04 bundle, for achieving the demand of multi-user requirements in data center operations.
IPM-04 provides complete PDU monitoring / control and reporting functions for your data center.
