DK7979.211 Rittal PDU METERED 16A/1P CEE 10XCEE7/3 SCHUKO

Why Choose the Rittal DK 7979.211 PDU Metered?

The Rittal DK 7979.211 is an intelligent single-phase metered Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for high-end power distribution and energy monitoring within IT racks, server enclosures and network infrastructure. As part of the Rittal DK PDU metered series, it combines 10 CEE 7/3 Schuko outlets with accurate power measurement, network connectivity and an integrated display.

Designed for professional data centre environments, the DK 7979.211 measures electrical consumption at the power infeed and provides detailed values including voltage, current, frequency, power factor, active power, active energy and apparent power. Measurement accuracy of ±1% for active energy supports dependable capacity planning and energy management, while adjustable warning and alarm thresholds help administrators identify abnormal electrical conditions.

Operating from a 230 V AC, 16 A single-phase supply, the PDU provides a rated power capacity of 3.7 kW. Its slim 44 × 1095 × 70 mm anodised aluminium housing supports vertical Zero-U installation in compatible Rittal VX IT and TS IT racks, allowing sophisticated power monitoring without consuming valuable 19" rack space.
