CyberPower PDU44001 Switched ATS PDU (15A, 200 to 240 VAC)

Overview

The CyberPower PDU44004 is a switched automatic transfer switch power distribution unit designed to maintain continuous power for single-corded servers, storage arrays, and network equipment. It accepts dual 200 to 240 VAC inputs and switches between them in under ten milliseconds, ensuring sensitive electronics remain online without interruption. This unit fits into a 1U rack space and features twelve individually switchable IEC C13 outlets, making it a practical solution for data centers, branch offices, and edge deployments that require reliable, remotely managed power.

Key features

• Automatic transfer between two independent power sources in less than 10 milliseconds to prevent downtime for connected devices
• Individual switching and monitoring of twelve IEC C13 outlets allow precise control over connected equipment, including remote power cycling and shutdown
• Front-panel LCD displays voltage, load, and source status with customizable background colors to quickly identify alert conditions across multiple units
• Network interface enables remote access for real-time monitoring, event notifications via email, SMS, or SNMP, and scheduling of power actions to reduce onsite maintenance
• 1U rack-mount design with included brackets and cord retention clips to secure plugs in high-vibration or busy environments
• Durable metal enclosure built to withstand long-term use in demanding IT settings
• Backed by a three-year limited warranty, providing confidence in hardware reliability

Connectivity and compatibility

The PDU connects to two separate power sources via IEC C14 input cords, providing redundancy for critical equipment. Its twelve IEC C13 outlets support a wide range of servers, storage devices, and networking gear that use standard IEC power connectors. The network interface supports remote management protocols including SNMP, allowing integration with existing monitoring systems and enabling administrators to respond quickly to power events from any location.

Installation and setup

Designed for straightforward installation, the unit fits into a standard 1U rack space and comes with all necessary mounting hardware. Cord retention clips secure power cables firmly, which is especially useful in environments with vibration or frequent technician access. The front-panel LCD offers immediate feedback on power status, and the network interface simplifies configuration and ongoing management without requiring physical presence.

Ideal uses and environments

This PDU is well suited to data centers that still operate single-power-supply devices, branch offices with limited onsite IT staff, and edge computing sites where stable and remotely controllable power is essential. Its fast automatic transfer switch and remote monitoring capabilities help minimize downtime and reduce the need for emergency visits, making it a strong choice for teams managing critical workloads across distributed locations.
