Overhead Power Solutions
Overhead Power Solutions
Traditionally data centers were built with raised floors and ran power feeds from PDU's and RPP's to the computer equipment using the air space under the floor. An increasing number of data centers are being built on slabs or choosing to run both power and network cables overhead.
PDU Cables branch circuit power distribution cables are being installed in data centers everyday in overhead cabling applications.
Run in overhead ladder racks and cable trays, with the addition of factory installed hardware, mounting to ladder racks and cable tray is fast and easy. PDU Cables custom labeling options also makes for easier identification of panels source and power paths even from an overhead position.

Device Types
The NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association) pattern and numbering system is made up of four main identifiers. The first identifier can be a blank space or have the letter L. This determines whether it is a straight or locking blade device. The second identifier is a number. The first number in a NEMA listing determines the voltage rating. The third identifier is a number and identifies the amperage rating of the device. The fourth identifier is a letter. This identifier determines whether the device is a plug, P, or a receptacle/outlet, R.
