PDU Dual Supply
Increase the density of power circuits while keeping your footprint low. "Dual Supply" PDUs have multiple power inputs, connecting to discrete groups of outlets. Circuits are kept separate and can have physical barriers, if required.
RackLink Dual Supply PDUs do not have ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) functionality. Each input is connected to its own set of outlets. Input cables can be colour-coordinated as required.

How Dual Input PDUs Work
Dual input PDUs are built with two separate circuits that provide primary and secondary power respectively to electrical equipment within a rack enclosure. Each power supply functions independently of the other, and the primary power supply can serve as the main channel for connected equipment. In the event of power shortages with the main supply, the Dual Power PDU will be able to continue powering the connected equipment via the secondary circuit.
In short, dual input PDUs can provide redundant power protection for connected devices, allowing devices to run continuously with minimal downtime. Application for dual feed PDUs is commonly seen in data centres where 24/7 uninterrupted operation is critical.
Benefits of Dual Feed PDUs
Reliable power distribution – Dual supply PDUs enable equipment to run continuously by reducing the risk of shutdown from unexpected power failure. Dual supply PDUs provide maximum operational uptime; essential for data centres and other industrial electrical equipment.
Space-saving – Dual supply PDUs combine the size and utility of two separate PDUs into one, allowing the setup to be mounted as a single element in the rack. This saves limited space, especially in high-capacity rack setups.
Organisation – Primary and secondary supply circuits are colour-coded to help with easy identification of the right power sources and assist with power cable organisation. This increases the efficiency of device management and helps to minimise the risk of human error when modification or maintenance work is applied.
