Power Distribution Unit Güde 8226-1

Power Distribution Unit Güde 8226-1 is a metered rack PDU with 12 switched C13 outlets and integrated current and energy monitoring per outlet. The unit provides network and serial control, an LED display, and supports firmware updates via network. It accepts 230 V nominal input and supports up to 16 A per device, with dual supply lines that allow a combined switching capacity of 32 A (dual-circuit operation). Dimensions are 439 mm x 195 mm x 44 mm.

Advantages

The Güde 8226-1 offers individual outlet switching and per-outlet metering, allowing precise control and measurement of connected equipment. It supports multiple management protocols including SNMPv3, SSL, IPv6, Telnet, RADIUS and Modbus TCP, and provides local control via a front-panel button. Dual supply lines and separate energy meters for banks and outlets enable monitoring of different circuits and detailed energy accounting. Sensor interfaces permit integration of optional ambient sensors for temperature, humidity and air pressure monitoring.

Suitable for

• Server racks and network cabinets requiring individual outlet control and energy monitoring
• IT environments where remote management via SNMP, Telnet or Modbus is needed
• Laboratory or test setups that require circuit-level power segregation and metering
• Environments needing firmware upgradability and secure access (SNMPv3, SSL, RADIUS)

• Over-voltage protection included
• Dimensions: 439 mm x 195 mm x 44 mm

How to use

Install the Güde 8226-1 in a standard 19-inch rack or place it on a stable surface. Connect the unit to the mains using the appropriate supply cables for the dual input lines and connect equipment to the 12 C13 outlets. Access the device through the web interface, serial console or supported network protocols to configure outlet groups, set thresholds and view metering data. Use the front-panel button for manual outlet switching when required. Apply firmware updates over the network according to the manufacturer instructions.

Recommendations

Monitor per-outlet current and energy readings regularly and configure IP watchdog rules or sensor thresholds to automatically switch loads in case of anomalies; ensure the total load per supply line does not exceed the rated current to maintain safe operation.
