Optima 120v PDUs ↑

Marway’s Optima PDUs offer more industrial capability than most commodity PDUs. Entry-level models provide solutions for budget-concious needs, but most models include options suited to more industrial-like environments.

Industrial pedigree

• 18ga steel enclosure in 1U and vertical 0U sizes.
• Surge suppression on all models.
• Circuit breaker(s), inlet power indicator(s) on all models.
• Relocatable brackets for flush or recessed mounting on 1U.

Numerous Options

• Smart and basic control platforms.
• Outlets include 5-15, 5-20.
• Inlets include 5-15P, 5-20P, L5-20R, L5-30R.
• Digital power meter standard on most 1U models
• Remote on/off/EPO standard on most 1U models.
• EMI filter standard on most 1U models.
• Staggered outlet startup available for most 1U models.

Standard and Custom

• Numerous configurations for 120 Vac.
• 15 Amp, 20 Amp, and 30 Amp capacities.
• Dozens of additional models in other voltages.
• Customize to get the exact features you need.
• Gain more control by customizing circuit branches, outlet switching, digital monitoring, and more.
• Save space by integrating different power sources and conversions in the same enclosure.
• Optimize enclosures to meet needs for installation, ergonomics, or even non-rack spaces.

Pre-designed Semi-standard PDUs

Semi-standard PDUs are products which were a custom design at one time, but which are now available to all customers. They include a variety of outlets, controls, and other options which designs distinct from the standard products.

120v PDU Option Highlights ↑

With several models across multiple product series, defining the options thoroughly is best left to each model’s dedicated web page or the Standard Products Catalog. However, here are a few highlights to glance over.

Standard Features

Every unit has a main breaker, a main power on indicator, and a surge suppressor (details are in the catalog). Most horizontal models also have an EMI filter, remote On/Off/EPO control, and staggered startup (a.k.a. sequential outlets).

EMI Filter

Why choose to have an EMI filter? An electro-magnetic interference filter is one of a few tools which can be used to clean up noisy power signals in industrial-like environments. Most office/IT facilities would likely not need one, but in facilities with machine shops, conveyors, or other large electrical equipment being switched on and off, disturbances get introduced into the power signals throughout the building. Having an EMI filter at the PDU helps protect downstream equipment.

• For the 820, 520, 320 series (1U), an EMI filter is standard.
• For all 0U models (829, 529, 329), there is no room for an EMI filter, so one is not available.

Remote Switching and EPO

The Optima remote switching/EPO feature is primarily designed for use with Marway’s Commander panels. A Commander panel may be connected to one or more PDUs, and thereby provide remote on/off and EPO functionality for several racks in unison. In all models, the utility outlets are not controlled by the EPO, but all other outlets are.

• For the 820, 520 series (1U), the remote EPO system is standard.
• For the 320 series (1U), the remote EPO system is not available.
• For all 0U models (829, 529, 329), there is no room for the EPO system, so one is not available.

Staggered Startup

• The 520 series units (1U), have a special feature which adds an approximate 2-second delay to the powering some of the outlets. This can help reduce in-rush loads since the 520 has a single circuit breaker.
• All 8 Series smart PDU products inherently have a staggered powering of outlets during startup. Additionally, on-delays can be programmed uniquely for each outlet.

Custom PDUs ↑

• Overcome the limitations of standard PDUs.
• Gain more control by customizing circuit branches, outlet switching, digital monitoring, and more.
• Save space by integrating different power sources and conversions in the same enclosure.
• Improve safety by integrating external EPO and interlocks.
• Protect downstream equipment with integrated surge suppression, EMI filters, and more.
• Optimize enclosures to meet needs for installation, ergonomics, or even non-rack spaces.

Marway specializes in custom PDUs optimized to meet application-specific needs for industrial, military, and OEM applications.

Marway’s PDU optimization includes configuration of chassis design, common and specialty connectors, switches, circuit breakers, indicators, metering, remote switching, software, as well as the integration of properly matched EMI filtering, surge suppression, power conversion, and more.

Additionally, we are experienced with a number of industrial and military specifications, as well as managing projects through compliance testing and certification processes.
