Stream large volumes of PDU data in real-time, connect up to 100 PDUs to a single IP address, and take advantage of the free EnerTree DCEM software for optimal energy management. With advanced features the PDU 5.0 provides the reliability and scalability modern data centres need to efficiently manage complex workloads.
Developed together with more than 40 data centre operators, the PDU 5.0 is engineered to meet the practical demands of modern facilities. In combination with EnerTree, it delivers precise visibility, efficient energy management and full control over high-density environments.
Built for today’s data centre landscape, the PDU 5.0 supports everything from standard rack environments to high-density AI, HPC and ML workloads. It delivers reliable, scalable power distribution with advanced monitoring for any facility that needs precise control and efficient energy management.
The PDU 5.0 streams live data from the PDU, offering real-time monitoring of power usage and environmental factors. This provides instant access to critical data, allowing you to respond immediately to changes and prevent potential issues, contributing to a more stable and reliable IT environment.

The PDU 5.0 combines software and hardware security to safeguard your power infrastructure. All communication is encrypted and managed through access controls and security profiles. Hardware isolation ensures that Daisy Chain PDUs remain completely separated from the LAN: only the master PDU with a Controller or Gateway Module has network access, while all other PDUs operate within a closed internal rack network.

PDU 5.0 is supplied as standard with EnerTree, the licence-free software for real-time energy management in data centres. EnerTree offers extensive features for monitoring, reporting and alerting, providing immediate insight into the consumption and load of all connected PDUs and inline meters. Any connected sensors are also clearly displayed, allowing environmental conditions to be easily monitored.
In this way, EnerTree provides a single central environment for accurate analysis and efficient control of your energy distribution.

The modular structure of the PDU 5.0, with hot-swappable communication modules such as Gateway, Controller, and Daisy Chain, offers flexible integration without downtime. This allows for easy adaptation to evolving data centre needs without operational interruptions. With plug-and-play sensor capabilities, the PDU supports up to 32 sensors per unit, enabling extensive environmental monitoring and management. The dual 1 Gbps network connectivity (Ethernet port & USB Port), Dual Databus, and Dual USB on the Gateway and Controller modules ensure reliable, high-speed connections within your network.
Designed for advanced energy management alongside the EnerTree Platform with web GUI, this module centralises data from PDUs, improving efficiency and lowering costs by requiring less hardware within the PDU. The intelligence of the PDU resides within the EnerTree Platform for high-compute power monitoring, optimising physical storage for historical PDU data, assisting with risk analysis, and system management. The Gateway module is equipped with a 1 Gbps Ethernet RJ45 port with status indicators, 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators, and 2 USB-A ports. A secondary 1 Gbps Ethernet port is supported via USB. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).
The embedded EnerTree Lite software with an internal web GUI for conventional management. For data centres that prefer a traditional, standalone approach, the Controller Module provides an embedded EnerTree Lite solution with PDU intelligence and web interface within the module. This module is fully compatible with other PDU monitoring and management software, delivering essential functionality via “EnerTree Lite,” a simplified version of the complete EnerTree platform. The Controller module is equipped with a 1 Gbps Ethernet RJ45 port with status indicators, 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators, and 2 USB-A ports. A secondary 1 Gbps Ethernet port is supported via USB. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).
A secure data communication module without an Ethernet port, collecting and transmitting data from PDU to the Gateway or Controller. The Daisy Chain Module acts as a Data Relay Module, facilitating PDU network expansion by creating a ring topology. This reduces the need for additional Ethernet ports and enhances security by minimising the risk of external access. In this ring configuration, a single Gateway or Controller module suffices to communicate with the EnerTree platform or other PDU monitoring systems, supporting up to 100 PDUs on one IP address. This setup enables ultra-fast, real-time data transmission, improving scalability and operational efficiency. The module is equipped with 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators and 2 USB-A ports. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).

The IEC Lock CX outlet from Scolmore is a universal locking outlet designed to support multiple connector types in one compact form factor. Each outlet combines the functionality of C13, C15, C19 and C21, allowing you to connect a wide range of equipment without needing different outlet types on your PDU.
The CX design works securely with C14, C6, C20 and C22 plugs. The integrated locking mechanism prevents accidental disconnection and ensures a reliable power connection in high-density or high-vibration environments.
When configuring your Schleifenbauer PDU, you can select the IEC Lock CX outlet as an option to maximise flexibility, simplify cable management and standardise your rack power design.
