Panduit SmartZone Switched Outlet-Metered PDU 17.3kW 3-Phase

The Panduit SmartZone P36G27M is a 3-phase switched outlet-metered rack PDU delivering 17.3 kW of managed power within a single 0U vertical form factor, designed for high-density data center and structured-cabling rack environments. Built on the fifth-generation SmartZone G5 intelligent controller platform, the unit provides individual outlet switching and real-time metering at both the inlet and per-outlet level, enabling granular load monitoring, remote outlet control, and proactive capacity management without requiring a technician on the data center floor.

The G5 controller integrates a dedicated network management interface supporting IPv4/IPv6, SNMPv1/v2c/v3, Modbus TCP, and a secure HTTPS web GUI, allowing integration with leading DCIM platforms and building management systems. Environmental sensor ports accommodate Panduit-compatible temperature and humidity probes, extending visibility beyond power data to full rack microclimate monitoring. Outlet-level switching supports sequenced power-on and user-configurable reboot delays, reducing inrush current events during planned restarts or recovery scenarios.

Targeted at colocation providers, enterprise core data centers, and high-performance computing deployments, the P36G27M is particularly well suited to structured-cabling racks where Panduit's end-to-end physical infrastructure ecosystem is standardized. The unit's metered-at-outlet architecture supports accurate per-tenant or per-application power attribution, chargeback reporting, and PUE improvement initiatives, while its switched outlet capability supports remote hands reduction and unattended recovery of hung devices.

Ideal for

• Remote outlet-level power cycling of hung servers or network devices in lights-out colocation or remote edge data center facilities, eliminating the need for on-site intervention
• Per-tenant or per-application power metering and chargeback reporting in multi-tenant colocation racks where accurate power attribution is contractually required
• Capacity planning and stranded-power reclamation by correlating real-time outlet-level load data with DCIM platforms to identify underutilized circuits before provisioning new equipment
• Sequenced power-on management during planned maintenance windows or UPS failover events to control inrush current and protect upstream breakers in high-density 3-phase rack deployments
• Rack microclimate monitoring in structured-cabling environments by attaching Panduit environmental sensors to the G5 controller's sensor ports, consolidating power and environmental data in a single management plane
• Compliance and audit support for energy efficiency programs requiring outlet-level power logging, historical trend data, and SNMP-based integration with enterprise monitoring and alerting stacks
