Bachmann BN PRO Switched - 16A Rack PDU with 24xCombo & Display (BM0024766)

Why is an intelligent PDU important for modern IT infrastructures?

In modern IT and data center environments, reliable and controllable power distribution plays a crucial role. The Bachmann BN PRO S 24x Combo (BM0024766) was specifically developed for professional applications where stability, transparency and controllability of the power supply are paramount. As an intelligent Switched Power Distribution Unit (PDU), it not only enables safe power distribution within the rack but also comprehensive monitoring and control of connected devices. Thanks to integrated per-phase energy metering, administrators receive precise information about the infrastructure's power consumption at any time. Important electrical parameters such as current, voltage, active power, apparent power, reactive power, as well as frequency and power factor can be monitored in real time. This allows load peaks to be detected early, energy consumption to be analyzed, and IT system utilization to be optimized. Especially in professional server environments, colocation data centers or edge infrastructures, this transparency provides significantly higher operational reliability.

What advantages does the Bachmann BN PRO S 24x Combo offer in daily operation?

The Bachmann BN PRO Switched - 16A Rack PDU with 24xCombo & Display (BM0024766) impresses with a combination of flexibility, intelligent control and robust hardware. With a total of 24 combo outlets it supports the common IEC C13, C15, C19 and C21 connection standards. This allows a wide range of IT devices such as servers, switches, storage systems or network components to be integrated without difficulty. A major advantage of this switched PDU is that each outlet can be switched individually. Administrators therefore have the ability to remotely reboot or selectively power off connected devices. Especially in hard-to-reach server rooms or remote data centers, this function saves valuable time and significantly reduces maintenance effort. For maximum fault tolerance, the PDU is also equipped with hot-swappable components. Both the controller and the power supply can be replaced while the unit is in operation, without shutting down connected systems. This minimizes maintenance time and significantly increases the availability of critical IT systems.

How can the PDU be integrated into existing network and monitoring systems?

Integration into existing management and monitoring solutions is performed conveniently via the integrated web server and support for SNMP. Administrators can centrally monitor and control all measurements, status information and switching functions. Additionally, the PDU features two network ports (1 Gbit/s PoE and 100 Mbit/s), enabling flexible network connectivity. Another highlight is the possibility of PDU cascading. Up to 20 units can be connected and centrally managed. Especially in larger rack installations or data centers, this greatly simplifies energy management. Up to ten external sensors can also be connected via the integrated RJ45 sensor port, for example to measure temperature or humidity in the rack. This allows the entire environment of the IT infrastructure to be monitored and potential risks to be detected early. Rounding off the equipment is a 2.4-inch TFT color display that shows important operating data directly on the device. In combination with the robust aluminium housing, vertical rack mounting and the powerful power supply with CEE 16A connector and 3.0 m power lead, the Bachmann BN PRO S 24x Combo PDU offers a reliable and future-proof solution for professional power distribution in modern IT environments.
