ATEN PE6108 Power Distribution Unit

Meet the ATEN PE6108, a compact 1U power distribution unit engineered to power critical IT equipment with reliability and efficiency. Designed for standard 19-inch racks, this PDU maximizes space in data centers, server rooms, and back-rooms while delivering clean, organized power to eight devices through IEC 320 C13 outlets. Its wide input voltage range (100-240 VAC) and a modest 100 W rating make it a versatile solution for mixed regional deployments and energy-conscious environments. With robust construction and straightforward installation, the PE6108 helps maintain uptime and streamline cabling workflows without sacrificing rack density.

• 1U Rack-Mount Form Factor with Standard 19" Rails: The PE6108 is purpose-built for dense racks, occupying just one rack unit. Its slim profile makes it ideal for network closets, data centers, and labs where space is at a premium, while still providing easy access to outlets for quick maintenance or device swaps.
• Eight IEC 320 C13 Outlets for Flexible Power Distribution: Distribute power to servers, switches, storage devices, KVMs, and other critical equipment from a single, organized power strip-like footprint. Eight outlets offer generous headroom for multi-port devices and future expansion, helping you reduce clutter and simplify power management.
• Wide Input Voltage Range: 100–240 VAC: Designed for global deployments, the PE6108 accepts 100–240 VAC at 50/60 Hz, enabling operation across regions without the need for voltage conversion. This versatility supports international labs, branch offices, and multi-site data centers with consistent performance.
• Maximum Output Power of 100 Watts: Suitable for powering essential IT gear and low-draw peripherals. The PE6108 provides a compact, energy-conscious solution that helps lower overall power consumption while maintaining reliable operation for devices that do not require high current draw.
• Easy Installation, Maintenance, and Cabling: Front-facing outlets and a straightforward mounting approach simplify installation in new or existing racks. The PE6108 supports clean cable routing and quick access to outlets for device provisioning, testing, and routine maintenance, helping IT teams keep downtime to a minimum.

How to install ATEN PE6108 Power Distribution Unit

Step 1: Prepare your rack space. Ensure the mounting area is clear and accessible, with adequate ventilation for rack-mounted equipment. Step 2: Gather the included mounting hardware and align the PE6108 with the rack rails. Use the appropriate screws to secure the unit in a stable 1U position, ensuring it is level for proper outlet access. Step 3: Route the mains power cord and verify that the local supply voltage falls within the 100–240 VAC range. Step 4: Connect IT devices to any of the eight IEC 320 C13 outlets, distributing load evenly to avoid overloading a single outlet. Step 5: Organize cables for airflow and maintenance, labeling outlets if needed for quick future provisioning. Step 6: Power up the rack and confirm that connected devices initialize normally, checking for any abnormal heat or noise. Step 7: Perform a basic power-on test to ensure outlets supply stable voltage and that the PDU remains within its nominal operation range during routine use.
