Power distribution unit Rittal 7979.415 Managed PDU 28 AC outlets (24×C13, 4×C19) 1‑phase 230V 16A 3m cable Black

Rittal 7979.415 Managed PDU is a single-phase, rack-mounted power distribution unit designed for centralized power delivery and monitoring in data center racks and network cabinets. The black PDU provides 28 AC outlets (24×C13 and 4×C19) fed from a 230 V nominal input with a maximum current rating of 16 A and a maximum power of approximately 3,700 W. It includes a 3 m supply cable and on-board measurement and network interfaces for remote monitoring and control.

Advantages

This managed PDU offers per-outlet energy measurement and monitoring, enabling detailed power usage tracking across connected devices. Built-in support for common network protocols (SNMP, Modbus/TCP, OPC-UA, HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, DHCP, IPv4/IPv6) plus firmware update capability via USB allow for integration into existing infrastructure and remote administration. The unit provides programmable startup and switching behaviour, adjustable alarm thresholds, and an integral real-time clock with battery buffering to support scheduled actions and accurate logging.

Suitable for

• Data center racks and server cabinets requiring remote power monitoring and outlet-level control
• Network and telecom cabinets where mixed C13 and C19 outlets are needed
• IT environments that require SNMP/Modbus/OPC-UA integration for centralized management
• Enclosures using vertical (0U) mounting to save rack space

When it may not be suitable

This PDU is single-phase and rated up to 16 A; it is not suitable for three-phase power distribution or installations that require more than 16 A per input. It is intended for rack-mounted use and may not be appropriate for floor-standing or non-rack installations without suitable mounting options. If higher power capacity, additional outlets beyond the provided 24 C13 / 4 C19, or a different form factor is required, consider alternate PDUs.

How to use

Mount the PDU vertically in a compatible rack using the zero-U space or mounting hardware indicated by your rack manufacturer. Connect the supplied 3 m power cable to an appropriate 230 V, 16 A supply. Use the web interface, SNMP, Modbus/TCP, OPC-UA or other supported protocols to configure network settings, per-outlet measurement and switching parameters, alarm thresholds and scheduled startup behaviour. Monitor current, voltage and energy consumption per outlet and apply programmable logic or scheduled actions as needed. Firmware updates can be applied via USB.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your rack supports vertical zero-U mounting and that the unit's physical dimensions fit available space
• Verify your facility’s supply is single-phase 230 V and limited to 16 A for this PDU
• Confirm the mix of C13 and C19 outlets meets the connector types of your equipment
• Plan network integration and ensure compatibility with your monitoring system and protocols

Usage recommendations

Use the Rittal 7979.415 Managed PDU for centralized, outlet-level power monitoring and controlled switching in rack environments. Configure alarm limits and scheduled startup to protect equipment and simplify maintenance; integrate via SNMP or Modbus/TCP for automated power management and monitoring.
