power strip recommendations
Hello,
I am refitting the racks in our data center with new vertical power strips. I have about 39" - 41" of vertical space. I've been looking at the CyberPower PDU20BV16F (16 outlet 20A max) power strips, which will cost me about $200 per strip. but i was hoping to find an inexpensive alternative that could serve the purpose just as well. i'm ok with not having any reporting or alerting mechanism in the strips. |
hi bell,
have you tried Tripplite PDUMV20? we use that in our data center and i find they serve the purpose. they are cheap too. they also have a somewhat accurate display of the current usage as well. |
I would recommend Geist but no particular model. They have a wide selection of vertical power trips in the 20A-30A variety. Depending on the reseller you can find them for as little as $150.
Though I would recommend against 20A because you wouldn't be maximizing the density potential of your enclosure. But I guess that really depends on how the entirety of your power plant is setup. But I always tell people to go bigger and better in the begining and suggest smart power strips of the variety that MRV and APC offers. But those are quite a bit more expensive. |
Hi Neoeclectic,
Thank you for the suggestion. our data center does not require 30A per rack as of now. but i'm guessing it is better to have a foresight in these matters. but i'm not sure if $150 per PDU is something we can afford at this point. Do you know of another brand that could come in handy? Sweetgreen, tripplite is a brand that i have already looked into. they do not have as many outlets as i require. |

I found it for a hundred flat. Check the shipping though.

APC remote reboot strips are a personal favorite. They work flawlessly with apc cabinets.
|
We currently use the following model APC 2 AP7863 APC. It has an awesome web based management.

I think the OP has already solved his issue. ;)
