Custom Mounting Hardware Options

Mounting hardware is available as an add-on to any branch circuit power whip cable assembly.  PDU Cables offers a variety of options that facilitate elevated mounting positions including beam and pedestal clamps, mounting bolts, brackets and mounting ears attached through the backs of boxes.  Underfloor or overhead, we can deliver power whips with pre-installed hardware to accomodate mounting to pedestals, stringers, horizontal supports, ladder rack, cable tray and basket tray.  

 

In addition to some of the industry standard mounting options, PDU Cables can work with you to design and develop custom mounting solutions to meet your unique needs.

Ten Most Popular Mounting Hardware Options

Mounting hardware allows your cable receptacles to be secured to raised-floor pedestals, beams or uni-struts. This facilitates improved airflow and allows easier access to the receptacles and keeps the cables off the floor eliminating the risk of water damage. 
 
Many of our customers utilize an elevated mounting position so they can lift a floor tile and have the power whip receptacle within easy reach.  With custom labeling on the boxes or faceplates, one quick glance and you know exactly which cable feeds which rack or cabinet A or B side.  
 
Mounting hardware isn’t limited to just raised floors; PDU Cables also offers mounting options for overhead applications,  and will work with you to develop the mounting application that best meets your needs. 
 
Underfloor mounted data center power cables Under raised floor pedestal clamp mounted data center power whips Data center power cable mounted to raised floor strut
Uni-Strut Bolt Under Raised Floor Pedestal Clamp Under Raised Floor Dual Pedestal Clamp Under Raised Floor
Power cables secured to overhead cable tray Multi-circuit data center power cables mounted to cable tray rack with mounting ears Data center power whips mounted to cable tray using field wire j-box and drop cord

Proper airflow in and around the data center is critical to optimal operating efficiencies. Keep under floor power cables in the hot aisle running parallel to the computer room air conditioner (CRAC) unit airflow. Consider elevating mounting positions for the receptacles to help protect against possible pooling water and cable air dams, allowing for better air flow and improved CRAC unit efficiency. 
 
PDU Cables offers a variety of mounting hardware to accommodate every possible data center need, including; uni-strut single and double bolt mounting kits, pedestal clamp mounting kits, cast beam clamps, mounting ears, C50 cable tray mounting brackets, B-Line conduit hanger clamps, B-Line flange beam clamps, mounting plates and others.  These can be added to both weatherproof or 1900 boxes, single circuit or multi-circuit daisy-chain or closed-nipple configurations.
