The Smart/Intelligent label can sometimes generate confusion because it's not a term that corresponds to a singular qualifying product feature. There are a collection of advanced features that when available in a PDU model, make that model smart.
It's important to understand that it's not about having a smart PDU with all the advanced features currently available. It's about establishing what your power management needs are. And going from there. The industry has essentially scripted what are the most common power optimization scenarios, and thus have created a set of Smart PDU sub categories that each address an appropriate scenario.
Smart PDUS are broken down into 4 distinct sub categories:
- Metered Inlet PDUS
- Metered Outlet PDUS
- Switched PDUS
- Switched PDUS with Outlet Metering
Here are several manufacturers that carry PDU's;
- APC Schneider
- C2g
- Cisco
- CyberPower
- Eaton
- HP
- Intellinet
- Lenovo
- Middle Atlantic
- Minuteman
- Panduit
- Raritan Computer
- Tripp Lite
- Vertiv

I was very impressed , and extremely pleased with the shopping experience I recently went through when purchasing items off of CompSource.com! Not only are there prices very comparable if not BETTER, than other online retailers, but the Customer Service experience was hands down the best I’ve experienced in years! It was as if they were sitting right next to me while I was searching for the best product, to meet my needs! nothing more or less! Saving me time, money, and that nasty feeling you get , when shopping at a retailer! When an associate pushes a product on to you , just because they need to get the product out of the store, and or off the shelves!! It was easy, pain free, and the best part was, I didn’t have to wear a mask, wash my hands, and or drive to ten different stores to get the biggest bang for my buck! I highly recommend shopping through CompSource.com , it was simply an Amazing, Shopping Experience from my living room sofa ! Thank you again CompSource for making my shopping experience not only easy, but wonderful ! NG NGMore Reviews
