PDUs

Cisco PDUs

Cisco currently offers two types of branded PDUs:

• Blade-optimized PDU
• Rack-optimized PDU

Within these types, the PDU offerings are divided between units designed for U.S.-type facility plugs, and units designed for international-type plugs. After you have identified the desired type of PDU and facility plug, you have enough information to determine the Cisco part number.

At a high level, the current Cisco PDU offerings are intended to match the requirements of most deployments. For example, Cisco PDUs are currently all designed to consume single-phase input power from the facility. If you have special needs, such as three-phase input power or monitored PDU solutions, you can find a solution from many other providers.
