Advanced Switched PDU
Customisable Intelligent PDUs from Schleifenbauer
Since 2008, Schleifenbauer has been producing advanced Power Distribution Units (PDUs), including Switched PDUs.
PDU 5.0 is their next generation advanced PDU. Built in collaboration with over 40 Data Centre operators to address the specific needs of modern Data Centres.
PDU 5.0 boasts real-time tracking and advanced energy management features, offering greater scalability, integration, and security.
Why Switched PDUs are important in Data Centres
In Data Centres, Switched PDUs take on a crucial role by providing vital information on energy consumed at both phase (input) and branch levels (breakers). Authorised users can switch individual outlets on and off and cycle power in any desired order. You can employ power sequencing delays to minimise inrush currents, prevent unauthorised device provisioning, conserve energy by powering off unused devices, or reboot devices to quickly restore services.
With remote switching on a PDU, you gain greater flexibility and control over the power supply to equipment, facilitating more efficient and convenient management of your IT infrastructure.
Consider Switched PDUs for the following reasons:
- Accurate Power Measurement: By utilising input metering, you can obtain precise power data for devices connected to the PDU and extend this to fuse/breaker levels. This data is crucial for capacity planning, billing, and efficient use of the Data Centre’s power infrastructure.
- Energy Efficiency: Manage efficiency through power metering by tracking power usage. Switched PDUs enhance this capability by allowing you to remotely switch off equipment when it is not in use, thereby reducing energy consumption and lowering your energy costs.
- Convenience: When physical access to the PDU or attached equipment proves difficult or inconvenient, remote switching lets you control the power supply from afar. This ability minimises the need to send an engineer to the site to cycle power on locked-up equipment.
- Safety: Remote switching allows you to shut down equipment quickly and safely in the event of an emergency or power outage.
- Automation: Integrate remote switching with automation systems for more efficient and automated control of devices.

Communication Modules
Hot swappable communication modules allow you to easily adapt to the evolving needs of Data Centres without experiencing operational downtime. With plug-n-play sensor capabilities, your PDU can support up to 32 sensors per unit, providing extensive environmental monitoring and management. Dual 1Gbps network connectivity, alongside dual Databus and dual USB on the Gateway and Controller modules, ensures you maintain reliable, high-speed connectivity within your network.
Gateway Module
The Gateway Module, designed to operate seamlessly with the EnerTree Platform, offers advanced energy management by centralising data from multiple PDUs. The intelligence level provided by the EnerTree Platform offers a robust solution for high-compute power monitoring applications. With a measurement refresh rate of once every second and support for up to 10,000 PDUs within the system, you can effectively improve efficiency and reduce costs by using less hardware within the PDU.
Controller Module
The Controller Module features embedded EnerTree Lite software with an internal Web GUI, offering you a more traditional form of power management. With a refresh rate of once every five seconds, it can support a maximum of 100 PDUs within the system. The module fully integrates with other PDU monitoring and management software systems, ensuring compatibility.
Daisy Chain Module
The Daisy Chain Module is a secure data communication module, which operates without an Ethernet port. It acts as a data relay module to enable PDU network expansion. It facilitates the creation of a ring topology and transmits data exclusively to a single Gateway or Controller Module.
