CPI has maintained a distinguished track record over the past 30 years, consistently delivering innovative power solutions. The company first introduced their eConnect PDUs in 2012, ushering in a new era of power management solutions for data centers with patented capabilities.
"Today, we are excited to unveil over 100 standard high-power PDU configurations, supporting power levels ranging from 28.8 kW to 57.5 kW, based on the fourth generation of our currently shipping eConnect PDUs. The convergence of high-power GPU-based equipment and advanced liquid cooling technologies demands innovative rack power distribution solutions. Our new high-power PDUs, equipped with 30A branch circuit breakers, are designed to support these high-power densities in an optimal form factor," said Ashish Moondra, Senior Director of Power & Electronics.
High-power configurability options are available in 208V/100A, 415V/60A and 415V/100A for eConnect Basic, Metered, Monitored, Monitored Pro, and Switched Pro models. Standard configurations include redundancy packs that allow datacenter operators to easily distinguish equipment connected to separate power paths. Advanced monitoring capabilities provide the visibility necessary to keep critical applications running at peak performance levels under demanding conditions.
CPI is deeply committed to environmental stewardship, with operational practices designed to minimize environmental impact. These practices include innovative use of recycled materials, comprehensive recycling systems, and a robust emphasis on renewable energy sources. The high-power configurations and liquid-cooled manifolds can be pre-installed in CPI's ZetaFrame® Cabinet System to minimize deployment time and effort, assisting data centers in achieving their sustainability goals.
