First Claim
Patent Images
1. A power distribution unit (“
- PDU,”
) comprising;
an input power component;
a first outlet component including a first plurality of outlets permanently fixed to a first chassis and a plurality of first busbars extending the length of the first outlet component,wherein the first plurality of outlets includes multiple first groups of outlets,wherein each first group of outlets includes a first printed circuit board assembly (“
PCBA”
) having at least one microprocessor, andwherein the first busbars are electrically connected to the input power component;
a communications component in signal communication with the first outlet component for transferring data; and
a housing connected to the input power component, the first outlet component, and the communications component.
