Power
Distribution Unit

With Anord Mardix, you benefit from industry leading expertise and innovative Power Distribution Unit (PDU) technology. We have invested in the development of our PDUs over many years and our solution is now the number one choice for data centres – reliable, resilient and with premium quality built in every time.

A philosophy of zero downtime

We work with you to meet exacting requirements for your datacentre or comms room and our reduced footprint designs allow increased space for vital datacentre equipment without compromising functionality. Anord Mardix PDUs can be designed to fit along a wall or at the end of data cabinets and racks for maximum flexibility and access.

A PDU is usually fed via an upstream Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and a simple single input PDU features:

  • An incoming Moulded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB)
  • A metering and control section
  • A distribution section
  • An outgoing terminal section.

The Anord Mardix PDU also offers unrivalled flexibility in relation to the level of redundancy and resilience required, as we can configure for single or dual incoming supplies.

Our range of PDUs is underpinned by ongoing maintenance from our Service Division. We hold a ‘zero downtime’ philosophy and keep your PDU operating at its optimum level via a non-invasive approach – supporting the product through its life cycle via tailor made service contracts. If that sounds like the reassurance that you need, please talk to us.
