Panduit launches EL2P PDU for efficient, automated data center power management

Panduit has introduced the EL2P intelligent rack power distribution unit (PDU), its next-generation device for managing power in data centers. Panduit says the EL2P PDU is designed to simplify installation, improve security, and enable automated, efficient power management for high-density data center applications.

Technical features of the EL2P PDU include a 360-degree rotating power cord, an aqua-colored outlet scheme for fast identification, and an auto-rotating touchscreen interface for streamlined device setup and management. Security enhancements include support for 802.1X authentication and secure zero-touch provisioning, which Panduit claims enhances device identity verification and deployment.

Panduit reports that the EL2P PDU supports seamless scalability via one-click daisy-chained firmware updates and Redfish application programming interface (API) automation, which enable faster bulk device updates and remote management. These features aim to reduce manual intervention and operational complexity in rack-level power control, which is critical for data center operations and hyperscale environments.

Panduit identifies the target market for the EL2P PDU as modern data center environments, focusing on users who require high efficiency, security, and automated power management in their rack infrastructure.

“Your infrastructure is unique so your power solution should be too,” said Dipin Jain, Senior Product Manager of Panduit Power Solutions. “The EL2P PDU adapts to your unique infrastructure needs. It is built for growth. It is built for the future.”

Technical specifications and additional details about the EL2P and the entire Panduit PDU portfolio are available at www.panduit.com/pdu.
