Why Choose the Rittal DK7979.237 PDU Metered Power Distribution Unit?
The Rittal DK7979.237 is an intelligent metered power distribution unit (PDU) designed for high-performance power distribution and energy monitoring within IT network and server racks. Part of the Rittal DK PDU range, it combines three-phase power distribution with integrated measurement, a network interface and local display in a compact vertical rack format.
Designed for a 32 A three-phase CEE input, the DK7979.237 provides 24 × IEC 60320 C13 and 6 × IEC 60320 C19 output sockets. With a rated operating voltage of 400 V AC and rated power of 22 kW, it provides substantial power-distribution capacity for servers, network switches, storage equipment and other rack-mounted IT hardware.
Integrated energy measurement operates per phase and provides monitoring of voltage, current, frequency, active and apparent power, energy, power factor and phase angle. The PDU is self-powered, incorporates a bright 128 × 128 pixel RGB TFT display and provides network connectivity for remote monitoring, making it a comprehensive solution for modern data-centre and IT infrastructure installations.

Intelligent Power Distribution for IT Infrastructure
Metered PDUs provide significantly more visibility than conventional rack power strips by allowing operators to monitor electrical consumption and loading. The Rittal DK7979.237 measures key electrical parameters per phase, helping data-centre and IT teams identify load imbalances, monitor available capacity and manage rack power consumption efficiently.
For vertical mounting, the PDU can be installed in the Zero-U space of compatible Rittal VX IT rack systems, preserving the 19-inch mounting area for active equipment. Integrated network connectivity, configurable alarm thresholds and remote monitoring functions make the DK7979.237 particularly suitable for professionally managed server rooms and data-centre environments.
Typical Applications
- Data-centre server racks.
- Rittal VX IT rack installations.
- Network and telecommunications cabinets.
- Enterprise server rooms.
- High-density computing and storage racks.
- IT infrastructure requiring remote power and energy monitoring.
