Configurable PDUs: All Options Explained

At Schleifenbauer, we believe a PDU should adapt to your data centre, not the other way around. While other brands offer a limited range of standard models that require compromises, we build every PDU to your exact specifications, at no extra cost. No fixed configurations, just complete flexibility down to the very last connector. The overview below shows all the available options when configuring your PDU. Whether you're managing a hyperscale facility or equipping a compact edge rack, this is your starting point.

YourPDU® by Schleifenbauer – Design Your Own PDU

Modular, Flexible and Built to Fit

At Schleifenbauer, we believe a PDU should adapt to your data centre – not the other way around. That’s why YourPDU® is fully configurable: you define every detail. Our PDUs are built for maximum flexibility, safety and performance.
