Chatsworth Products’ (CPI) expertise in data center power management, which began in 1998, has grown to include a full staff of electrical, mechanical and software engineers, and assembly personnel located in CPI’s 100,000 square-foot research and production facility located in Central Texas.

CPI’s intelligent eConnect® Power Distribution Units (PDUs) were introduced in 2012 and continues to evolve to meet the cost, power and efficiency challenges of today’s changing data center environment.

eConnect PDUs raised the bar for PDU features and functionality by providing a low-profile design that operates in temperatures as high as 149°F (65°C) and by introducing Secure Array™ Technology, which enables users to link up to 32 PDUs under one IP address. Additionally, eConnect’s integrated firmware and its compatibility with CPI’s Power IQ® Software provides data center managers a complete picture of the health of their data center assets, as well as actionable power consumption information at all levels of the data center.

CPI’s ability to provide customized PDU solutions with short lead times is a direct result of CPI’s well-known ability to understand a customer’s needs and the high-quality commitment of the company’s employee owners. Engineering innovation and attention to detail are reflected in CPI’s many customer installations. Customized solutions include painted PDUs, hardwired solutions, customized outlet types and counts, higher kAIC ratings, custom input cord and plugs, and more.

Complete Enclosure and Power Solutions

Many businesses also take advantage of CPI’s ability to install PDUs into an enclosure before it ships. Complete data center enclosure and power solutions will ship together making ordering, tracking and installation easier.
