The IBM 6173-7014 Side Mount 3-Phase Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is engineered to deliver efficient and reliable power distribution tailored for high-density IT environments. Designed to be mounted on the side of server racks, this PDU optimizes space use by not occupying valuable U spaces within the rack itself. It features a three-phase power input, which significantly reduces the total harmonic distortion, improves power factor, and increases energy efficiency across your data center infrastructure. With its robust design and built with the durable materials expected of IBM's manufacturing standards, this PDU ensures a reliable power supply to critical systems, reducing downtime and maintaining operational continuity. It represents an excellent choice for data centers looking to maximize power distribution efficiency and reliability with minimal spatial footprint.
