This PDU is intended only for Information Technology Equipment (ITE) loads with
linear/Power Factor Corrected (PFC) input current. If non-linear loads are connected,
the nameplate current rating of the PDU must be reduced by a factor of 0.8.
WARNING: A risk of personal injury from electric shock and hazardous energy levels
exists. The installation of options and routine maintenance and service of this product
must be performed by individuals who are knowledgeable about the procedures,
precautions, and hazards associated with AC power products.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and damage to the equipment:
HIGH LEAKAGE CURRENT. To reduce the risk of electric shock due to high leakage
currents, ensure that there is a reliable grounded (earthed) connection before
connecting power distribution products to AC power. If a large number of products
will be connected to a single PDU, it may be necessary to conduct an evaluation of
the installation to verify the total amount of leakage current. The total combined
leakage current should not exceed 5 percent of the input current for the PDU and
associated load.
Required Tools
The following tools maybe required for installation:
• Phillips screwdriver
• Torx screwdriver
Section 1 – Introduction
Classification Overview
The Panduit G5 Monitored, Switched, Monitored per Outlet, and Monitored & Switched
per Outlet PDUs (Power Distribution Units) are intelligent PDUs designed to distribute
power to IT equipment installed into a rack. These PDUs are single-phase (1Ph) or
three-phase (3Ph) models with electrical metering and switching capabilities.
Each PDU provides power distribution to IT loads through C13, C19 or NEMA 5-20R
outlets. The quantity and location of outlets vary by model. The PDUs allow you to
connect and manage these outlets from a single power connection. The PDUs can be
managed from a Web interface, or a Command Line Interface (CLI), and viewed from
the local display.
Panduit PDUs are designed for use with all Panduit cabinets and are compatible with
most third-party data center racks. The PDU models vary in form factor with several
mounting configurations available.
Panduit Switched PDU: Provides aggregate power monitoring and outlet level
switching capabilities for individual outlets or a group of outlets. This PDU enables
power sequencing, rebooting equipment or restrict unauthorized use of individual
outlets.
Panduit Monitored per Outlet PDU: Provides outlet-level power monitoring to quickly
identify potential power issues and reclaim available or under-utilized power capacity at
the outlet level.
Panduit Monitored & Switched per Outlet PDU: Provides outlet-level power
monitoring and outlet-level switching capabilities for individual outlets or a group of
outlets. Power monitoring at the individual outlet level provides actionable management
data on the power consumption of each connected IT device, enabling the
redeployment or decommissioning of individual servers to reclaim available or under-
utilized power capacity.
Features
The Panduit Monitored, Switched, Monitored per Outlet, and Monitored & Switched
PDUs provide the following features:
Form Factors
Details of the form factors that are covered within this document.
There is one exception to the different colored receptacles per load segment. The three
phase half-height high density model has two different load segments on each phase as
shown in the illustration below.
2. Using the tie wraps provided, slide the end of the tie wrap into the notch on the
PDU next to the desired outlet and wrap around the cord.
(A) (B)
2. Install the PDU by inserting the mounting buttons into the keyhole slots on the
PDU mounting bracket in the rack.
Mounting button installation – outlets facing the back or front of the rack
1. Align and install the mounting buttons with the screw holes on the sides of the
PDU.
2. Install the PDU by inserting the mounting buttons into the keyhole slots on the
PDU mounting bracket in the rack.
NOTE: The above installation methods are true for all vertical models except for the
high-density models. Those units can only mount on its side with outlets facing the back
of the rack. Reference the high density PDU installation section for installation
instructions.
NOTE: (A) Two full-height PDUs with outlets facing in towards the center of the rack;
(B) Two mid-height PDUs with outlets facing in towards center of the rack; (C) Four half-
height PDUs with outlets facing in towards center of the rack.
(A) (B)
NOTE: One full-height can be installed per side of rack whereas two half-height models
per side (one on the top and the other on the bottom).
1U PDUs
Mounting Options
This unit can be installed in any 1U location of the rack.
2. Screw the mounting bracket ears into the RETMA rail surface at the U location
where the cage nuts were installed.
2U PDUs
Mounting Options
This unit can be installed in any U locations of the rack.
ungrounded metal parts. This bonding point can also be used to bond the PDU to a
known earthed reference terminal in the building. Per international regulatory
requirements, the primary Safety Earth Bond connection is contained in the PDU as an
integral part of the branch circuit cabling and plug. The ground bounding point is located
on the surface with the receptacles on all PDUs except for the high-density models.
These models have the ground bounding point on the surface with the circuit breakers.
Bond Power Distribution Units (PDUs) to grounding strip or grounding bus bar. See
Panduit Grounding and Bonding Jumper kits for factory terminated options to
provide a bolt-on solution.

This product contains an external earthing screw with a star washer, which should be
used for supplementary Earth bonding to the rack metalwork.

NOTE: When connecting the PDU to a Power Source, make sure that you have enough
length in the PDU power cord to reach the PDU power source.
4. Turn the feed circuit breaker On. The OLED screen (on units with display) will
display a status bar when the PDU operating system is loading. When complete,
the Main Menu will display on the OLED screen. Switched and Monitored &
Switched PDUs show a light corresponding to each outlet as it is powered up.
