P Series Smart Rack PDU with Monitoring & Remote Management
The P Series is a network-managed rack power distribution family with aggregate-monitored, per-outlet-monitored, switched, and per-outlet monitored-and-switched platforms. Supplier documentation lists configurable current, outlet, mounting and protocol options by platform.

Product Overview
The P Series groups four smart rack PDU management architectures in one configurable family. PA provides aggregate electrical monitoring, PB adds per-outlet monitoring, PC combines aggregate monitoring with outlet switching, and PD combines per-outlet monitoring with outlet switching. Electrical ratings, outlet standards, outlet counts and mounting format are selection options rather than fixed PA/PB/PC/PD electrical SKUs.
Key Features
- Four function platforms covering aggregate monitoring, per-outlet monitoring and remote outlet switching
- Aggregate voltage, current, power, energy, power factor and frequency measurement across all four platforms
- Per-outlet current, power and energy measurement on PB and PD
- Per-outlet switching and sequencing on PC and PD
- True-color LCD with Ethernet 10/100Base-T and RS-485 interfaces
- Supplier-listed current options of 10A, 16A, 24A and 32A
- Configurable Chinese-standard, IEC C13, US and UK outlet options
Available Platforms
PA, PB, PC and PD identify function platforms. Input current, outlet count and type, mounting format, input connection and cable length must be confirmed separately for quotation.

FAQ
What is the difference between PA, PB, PC and PD?
PA provides aggregate monitoring, PB adds per-outlet monitoring, PC adds outlet switching to aggregate monitoring, and PD combines per-outlet monitoring with outlet switching.
Are PA, PB, PC and PD fixed electrical SKUs?
No. They identify function platforms. Current, outlet count and type, mounting, input connection and cable length are separate configuration choices.
Which outlet standards are verified for this family?
The supplier documentation lists Chinese-standard, IEC C13, US and UK outlet options.
Which platforms support remote outlet switching?
The supplier matrix lists per-outlet switching and sequencing for PC and PD.
What information is required for a quotation?
Provide the required platform, current option, outlet count and type, mounting format, communication requirements, input connection, cable length, quantity and application.
