ATEN PG8308G 8-port 1U with metering 32A Eco PDU content_copy

The intelligent PG8308 series PDU from ATEN with power measurement and switching function has 8 sockets* in a compact 1U rack enclosure. With an ARM Cortex-A8 processor, these PDUs offer advanced control options via USB, COM, environmental sensors and two Gigabit LAN ports.
Designed for quick deployment, the PG series PDUs can power all connected devices within just 10 seconds of being plugged in. For improved cost efficiency and space optimisation, these intelligent PDUs can be cascaded, allowing up to 64 units to be connected together.
The PG series PDUs are equipped with RJ-45 sensor ports that can be connected to EA1640 to monitor the status of the data centre environment and ensure optimal operating conditions. They offer secure, centralised and intelligent power management functions that allow users to switch IT devices in the data centre, such as servers, storage systems, KVM switches, network devices and serial data devices, on and off or power cycle them.
By integrating remote power control and measurement, users can manage and monitor the power status of devices connected to PG Series PDUs from virtually anywhere via an IP connection. This functionality is available at the PDU device, bank or outlet level, depending on the model.
These intelligent PDUs are designed for high-voltage ranges from 100 V to 240 V. In addition, they provide accurate kWh energy consumption data with an accuracy of ±1%. This precision improves power consumption monitoring, helps determine baseline energy consumption and supports the tracking of energy efficiency initiatives.
In terms of hardware design, the PG series PDUs incorporate energy-saving relays – subtypes of electromagnetic switches – to manage large currents more efficiently, resulting in lower energy consumption compared to models without relays. The circuit breaker integrated into the PG series models supports current flows of 30 A or 32 A and automatically disconnects the power supply to prevent overloads and protect connected devices from damage.
The PG series firmware can be updated via the web GUI or USB, allowing users to conveniently download updates from the ATEN website. This ensures that they have access to the latest features and improvements for practical use.
A sticker for the green LCD console display is included, with additional options in blue, yellow, red and purple available for purchase. This colour-coding system improves the distinguishability between power settings and facilitates more efficient troubleshooting.
The PG Series intelligent PDUs are ideal for server rooms, network cabinets and enterprise data centres, providing an intelligent power distribution and management solution that meets the demands of high-density IT applications while optimising overall costs.

Automatic ping and reboot
The connection for environmental sensors enables an RJ-45 connection to connect or daisy chain up to 8 ATEN EA1640 environmental sensors for monitoring and controlling temperature, humidity, air flow, air pressure differences and leaks, with alerts for potential threats (sold separately)
Rotatable LCD screen – rotates 180 degrees for flexible rack installation
Measurement
Secure locking improvement prevents power cords from being pulled out due to vibration or human error
Measurement and monitoring of power at PDU and outlet level
Measurement and setting of thresholds for current, voltage, power, power loss, temperature and humidity
Accurate kWh measurement (+/-1%) for better power consumption habits, baseline values and initiative tracking
Real-time alerts on the LCD screen show you unusual power conditions:
Measurements on the start screen: A (total current), V (voltage), W (power), kWh (power consumption)
Types of alerts: Critical, Warning (value exceeds a preset threshold), Warning (value is approaching the warning threshold)
Network
Two Ethernet ports support cascading of up to 64 power distribution units (PDUs)
Daisy chain functions support SNMP and Modbus protocols as well as TC/IP protocols (website)
Supports ATEN's eco DC (Energy & DCIM Management Web GUI) for monitoring power distribution, energy and environmental data from PDUs and connected devices
Socket control
Control of sockets (on/off, off and restart) via individual sockets and socket groups
Support for outlet groups at PDU level
Supports multiple methods for controlling the power supply – Wake on LAN, System After AC Back, Kill the Power
Power-on sequencing – users can set the power-on sequence and delay time for each socket so that devices can be switched on in the correct order
Proactive overload protection (POP) – automatically switches off the last socket causing the power overload, while users can set the shutdown priority
Schedule control
When the temperature or humidity sensor value reaches the specified threshold, the PDU can turn a specific outlet on, off or restart it
Energy-efficient relays enable control of large amounts of power flow for lower energy consumption.
