Startech's story;

StarTech.com was founded in 1985 by Paul Seed and Ken Kalopsis. Paul and Ken met while attending the University of Western Ontario, in London, Ontario in the early eighties. Originally known as StarTech Computer Accessories, the company had very humble beginnings as a "Visa Card" founded operation, manufacturing products such as computer dust covers in the basement of a house.

The company has grown to become a global manufacturer of over 3000 products with operations in five continents but one thing hasn't changed: Startechs commitment to making our customers' jobs easier.

What is an Power Distribution Unit (PDU)?

What are Smart or Intelligent PDU's;
In the world of PDUS, there are essentially two types: Basic PDUS and Smart /Intelligent PDUS. The

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;

FYI – I rec’d the 2nd replacement Sanyo dual camera yesterday and it seems to work like a new camera. I really appreciate your customer service. I don’t understand how to brand new cameras could be defective. However, that has nothing to do with your service. I can only speak well of your organization and even recommend anyone buying from you. Thanks Mr. D. Russell Mr. D. Russell
