Questions to Ask yourself are:

  • Should I go with 120V or 230V?  Generally we recommend 230V, as most equipment can handle it these days.
  • Is Remote Reboot Capabilities Needed? 

If Remote Reboot Cabailities are needed, Tripp Lite makes a Switched, Metered Rack PDU that give IT managers the ability to remotely monitor PDU power consumption and in-rack environmental conditions, and to turn on, turn off, recycle or lock out power to each individual receptacle.  This product is Tripp Lite Model # PDUMV20HVNET

CoLocationPDU

Another Low Cost option is the Tripp Lite Model PDUV30HV.  We can also lease you one of these models with your Colocation Cabinet for $15/mo if you want to try one out.
