PDU 5.0 represents a major step forward in power distribution for modern data centres. Developed with input from more than forty operators, it is built around accuracy, resilience and operational clarity. The platform offers detailed metering at input, branch and outlet level, giving teams the insight needed to manage capacity in AI, HPC and other mission-critical environments.

Its modular architecture allows hot-swappable communication modules, including the Gateway and Controller variants, enabling operators to adapt functionality without downtime. Both modules support secure protocols such as HTTPS, SNMPv3, REST API and Syslog, making PDU 5.0 easy to integrate into existing monitoring ecosystems.

PDU 5.0 also introduces an important industry first: each unit is supplied with EnerTree DCEM software at no extra cost. This licence-free platform provides real-time monitoring, dashboards, historical analytics and automated reporting. By removing subscription fees and per-device licences, Schleifenbauer makes advanced energy management accessible to any scale of operation.

Built in the Netherlands and engineered for long lifecycle performance, PDU 5.0 is designed for environments up to 60°C and available with a wide range of Scolmore CX IEC Lock outlets. Whether deployed in colocation, enterprise or edge facilities, it offers the visibility and control required to support energy compliance, uptime objectives and future-ready capacity planning.
