The Middle Atlantic LP-42201 is a robust 20-Outlet, 20A, 208V vertical rackmount network metered power distribution unit (PDU) designed to provide advanced power management and monitoring for critical IT and AV equipment. Finished in sleek black, this PDU is equipped with IEC C13 and C19 Receptacles and is engineered to deliver precise control and real-time visibility of power usage, ensuring optimal performance and reliability for your rack-mounted systems.
The LP-42201 features a networked controller that enables both remote and local monitoring of the PDU and connected peripherals. This functionality allows users to view real-time power consumption data, manage load levels, and configure the unit from virtually any location using a tablet, smartphone, or computer. The integrated high-resolution color LCD screen on the PDU displays essential information such as energy readings, current, voltage, and configuration settings, making it easy to monitor and adjust settings directly at the rack.
This PDU offers comprehensive load monitoring, providing visibility into the power being drawn by the entire unit. Users can set custom thresholds for power draw or environmental conditions and receive notifications if these thresholds are exceeded, helping to prevent overloads and other potential issues. The hydraulic-magnetic breakers incorporated into the LP-42201 provide reliable circuit protection with a two-step response curve, ensuring quick recovery from circuit overloads while minimizing heat dependency.
One of the standout features of the LP-42201 is its ability to cascade up to 16 PDUs via Ethernet or USB, which minimizes port usage on network switches and allows for centralized management of multiple PDUs from a single IP address. This feature is particularly useful in large installations where managing numerous PDUs individually would be cumbersome.
The PDU also includes integrated locking outlets on IEC receptacles, eliminating the need for special locking cords and ensuring a secure connection for all plugged-in equipment. The rotatable cord design adds flexibility during installation, making it easier to route the input plug and simplifying the setup of Zero U PDUs.
Optional environmental sensors and remote locking capabilities further enhance the functionality of the LP-42201, providing alerts for potential downtime threats or physical security breaches. The PDU is also designed for seamless integration into any monitoring software through an open JSON-RPC interface, making it a versatile and essential tool for IT and AV professionals seeking to maintain the highest levels of performance and security in their systems.
