Outpace

The PX4 continues the Raritan legacy of delivering best-in-class intelligence while introducing a new set of industry-proven hardware and outlet technology. This new feature set supports rapid deployment in changing environments while providing high density, flexibility, and reliability to drive operational excellence.

HDOT OUTLETS

Our patented High Density Outlet Technology (HDOT®) removes unnecessary outlet molding to provide the most outlets per PDU form factor to support high-density rack requirements.


HDOT Cx OUTLETS

A hybrid of IEC C13 and C19 outlets, the HDOT Cx® outlet accommodates both C20 and C14 power cables in a single outlet. It reduces complexity, increases flexibility, and simplifies the PDU selection process.


RAMLOCK LOCKING TECHNOLOGY

A rugged and intuitive outlet and power cord locking system secures power cords to the PX4 PDU. Its auto-lock and manual release lever allows unplugging with a one- handed ?squeeze and pull? action.


ALTERNATING BRANCH OUTLETS

Groups outlets into branches on a repeating and distinguishable pattern over the length of the PDU. This simplifies load balancing and device installation while keeping patch cables shorter and away from the airflow path. It also lessens out-of-balance loads that can cause heating in the neutral current line.


45-DEGREE ANGLED INFEED

A flexible infeed cord design that reduces the number of PDU configurations needed. Bottom or front entries are now supported in this one-size-fits-all feature that saves money and time. The bend radius is suitable for cords rated up to 60A 3-Phase without degrading performance.


R/G/B LED OUTLET INDICATORS

Quickly and easily see the health status of the PDU. Color LED indicators show the following conditions: outlet on/off, outlet's power above/below a threshold, circuit breaker on/off, circuit breaker above/below a threshold, and a suspect outlet that tripped the circuit breaker.


BI-STABLE LATCHING RELAYS

Latching relays make outlet switching safer while consuming less energy and minimizing inrush current overloads. Configure relays to retain their on/off state so critical power is maintained even in the rare case of a PDU failure.


COLOR OPTIONS

Ten color chassis options: black (standard), red, blue, green, violet, orange, yellow, white, brown, and gray, as well as colored labels in six color options: blue, green, white, red, yellow, and black (standard) make it easy to identify power feeds, reduce provisioning errors, and lower the risk of unplanned downtime.


INDUSTRIAL GRADE MECHANICAL DESIGN

The PX4 is built with a 60°C (140°F) standard temperature rating for reliable performance in dense, high-heat environments. Even in the harshest conditions, the PX4 operates safely and reliably.

OUTTHINK

THE IX9 CONTROLLER is the PX4's center of intelligence that houses high compute power, display, and multiple connectivity ports. It offers industrial-grade reliability, user-configurable firmware, multilayer redundancy for failover support, and hot-swappable capability for maintenance or replacement without powering down connected equipment. Its future-proof design helps manage operations more efficiently and at lower costs.

MULTI-COLOR LCD

Provides information on power usage, outlet status, and critical alerts.


DUAL NETWORK GIGABIT 10/100/1000 ETHERNET PORTS

Enables connectivity to network infrastructure. Physically cascade 32 PDUs under one ethernet port using bridging mode, or additionally, save IP addresses using a single IP address with port forwarding. For more efficient management and control of your devices, use the Link feature for logical connectivity of up to 8 PDUs.


SENSOR PORT

Allows plug-and-play deployment of Legrand® SmartSensors™?up to 32 sensor functions or up to 12 sensor packages supported.


DUAL USB-A PORTS & SINGLE USB-B PORT

USB-A enables simultaneous connectivity to mobile interfaces, rapid PDU configurations, mass firmware updates, and serial console access. USB-B generates diagnostic logs.


PDU LINK PORTS

Allows the linking of 2 PDUs where the Primary unit has the power information from the Link units. Ensures redundant power for the main Controller for both units, even if the Primary unit loses power.


ADVANCED POWER QUALITY MONITORING AND METRICS

The PX4 gives real-time insight into critical power quality, energy efficiency, and equipment health. With the most complete and accurate power quality monitoring and metrics, you can confidently address capacity planning, environmental optimization, failover planning, and troubleshooting.

±0.5% METERING ACCURACY
• The PDU's inlet and outlets capture minimum, maximum, and average measurements following IEC 62053-21 and IEC 61557-12 standards

CIRCUIT BREAKER TRIP FORENSICS
• Identify the exact outlet that caused a circuitbreaker to trip
• Use with Outlet Power-On Prevention to restore power to other devices while isolating defective equipment for future maintenance

PEAK & MIN/MAX VALUES FOR POWER MEASUREMENTS
• Values are measured over time and can be used to determine normal loads and failover ratings, plus recommend upgrades based on peak ratings
• Identify stranded capacity and plan for failover
• Easily determine where you have the capacity to install new devices in the cabinet

TOTAL HARMONIC DISTORTION
• Monitor harmonic events, voltage dips, and swells, crest factor, and power interruptions
• Monitor the power being fed to the PDU and the power distributed to the PDU's outlets


WAVEFORM CAPTURE

When captured, trended over time, and visualized in the same location, power metrics become more powerful. With Waveform Capture, you can closely monitor quality metrics at the rack, like harmonics or voltage dips and swells, define a threshold to monitor events, and visualize disturbances that may be distorting the PDU's power quality. These visualizations assist with ensuring your data center's rack power is running efficiently.

OUTPERFORM

The Xerus Technology Platform

is a combination of hardware, software, and communication technologies embedded in all Raritan power solutions. It offers interoperability with third-party systems and connects to a whole ecosystem of accessories, including environment monitoring, asset management, and physical access control accessories.
Rather than managing multiple systems using different protocols, the Xerus Technology Platform supports networked SNMP, MODBUS, open REST based APIs, and a Redfish® API, enabling wherever-you-go monitoring and visibility into your data center rack power operations.


The PX4's Enhanced Security Suite

includes end-to-end encrypted communications and a secure firewall to control user access. It also stores valid and updated certificates to secure the PDU on public networks. The PX4 also includes Secure Boot, a startup security check that prevents malware from taking over the firmware of the PDU by preventing unauthorized software from taking control at startup.
Security is a core focus for the PX4. Its enterprise-level security stack is designed and engineered to keep you, your assets, and your organization ahead of changing security threats while ensuring that you can grant access to the right individuals when and where needed.
