Server Technology Switched SEV-4502E 30-Outlet PDU

The Server Technology PRO2 Switched PDU SEV-4502E delivers industry-leading power management for dense rack environments. Designed for data centers, server rooms, and colocation facilities, this 1U, 30-outlet power distribution unit combines granular outlet control with precise current monitoring and per-phase visibility. IT teams gain actionable insights into load distribution, enabling safe equipment installation, proactive capacity planning, and smarter energy stewardship. With billing-grade metering powered by PIPS technology, you can allocate costs accurately, optimize efficiency, and maintain uptime across critical infrastructure. Built to withstand continuous operation in demanding environments, the SEV-4502E is an essential tool for modern power-aware IT operations.

• Per-outlet control for precise power management: switch individual outlets on or off to protect devices, isolate misbehaving equipment, and execute safe reboots without climbing into the rack. This capability supports automation, reduces downtime, and enables orderly reboot sequences, improving overall maintenance efficiency.
• Real-time current monitoring and per-phase visibility: monitor current draw at the PDU level and observe phase loading to prevent overloads and plan future expansions. Local indicators provide at-a-glance status, while deeper analytics help optimize energy use and ensure balanced power distribution across racks.
• Billing-grade metering with PIPS technology: accurate energy measurement supports chargeback and energy analytics with confidence. You can attribute energy costs to devices, departments, or services, benchmark performance across rows or zones, and drive smarter procurement decisions based on real usage patterns.
• 1U, 30-outlet form factor designed for dense racks: maximize cabinet efficiency while keeping wiring organized and accessible for maintenance. The compact footprint simplifies cable management, reduces front-panel clutter, and accelerates device swaps in tight data-center spaces.
• Durable, enterprise-grade construction for data centers and server rooms: built to withstand continuous operation, with secure mounting and reliable performance in mission-critical environments. The SEV-4502E is designed for long life under heavy loads and is backed by Server Technology’s trusted service and support ecosystem.
