What is PDU & UPS?
⭐ PDU = Power Distribution Unit
Common applications: Server racks, Data centers, Medical equipment cabinets
Main function:
- Distributes a single power input to multiple outlets
- Allows centralized power management for multiple devices within a cabinet
Example:
- A cabinet contains 10 devices
- A single main power source enters
- The PDU provides 8, 10, or 12 outlets
- The hospital-grade extension cord can be plugged into the PDU to provide power to an individual device.
⭐ UPS = Uninterruptible Power Supply
Main function: Provides continuous power during power outages or voltage fluctuations.
Contains an internal battery:
- When mains power is normal: powers connected devices and charges the battery
- When mains power fails: battery continues to supply power (from minutes to several hours)
Example:
The hospital-grade extension cord can be plugged into a UPS outlet to provide stable, uninterrupted power to medical equipment, computers, monitors, and other devices.
