“Metered PDUs: The largest- growing segment of the power distribution unit market”

Based on by type of power distribution unit , the metered type segment is estimated to be the largest-growing market from 2022 to 2027.  Metered PDUs deliver local visual monitoring capability through an in-built LED screen that displays real-time power consumption data. The metered PDUs are categorized as inlet and outlet. The inlet metered PDUs determine the available capacity of the racks, whereas the outlet metered PDUs permit end users to understand the actual power consumption at the device or server level. Metered power distribution units provide information about the real-time remote monitoring of connected loads and power consumption of PDUs as a whole or by individual outlets.

“120–240 V power rating: The largest segment by power rating in power distribution unit market”

The 120–240 V segment, by power rating, is projected to hold the highest market share during the forecast period. These PDUs prevent accidental shutdowns and costly downtime. Thus, they are suitable to deploy high power to IT equipment racks. They provide reliable single-phase power distribution. Such PDUs are ideally suited for the IT, networking, telecom, and security industries. Also, they offer versatile installation options. These are the features that boost the demand for 120–240 V segment in power distribution unit market.
