The Panduit SmartZone G5 iPDU is not just a power distribution unit; it is an intelligent, rack-level energy management and environmental sensing solution designed to maximize data center uptime, efficiency, and visibility. The P08E18M model combines robust electrical distribution with real-time metering, proactive alerts, and integrated environmental monitoring to help data center managers optimize capacity planning, reduce energy waste, and maintain safe operating conditions for critical IT equipment. With its horizontal, 19-inch rack-mount form factor and scalable architecture, this iPDU fits seamlessly into modern data centers, edge deployments, and high-density IT environments. By continuously scanning electrical circuits for overloads and monitoring environmental variables such as temperature and humidity, the Panduit iPDU provides actionable insights through an intuitive interface and integration-ready management protocols. It’s a trusted solution for facilities that demand reliability, precision, and proactive control over power distribution and environmental health.

  • Real-time power monitoring and energy management: The P08E18M offers comprehensive outlet-level and total power metering, capturing voltage, current, active power, energy consumption, and power factor. This enables precise usage reporting, capacity planning, and demand forecasting. With historical trending and live dashboards, you can identify energy hotspots, optimize load balancing, and implement targeted efficiency initiatives without guessing where losses occur.
  • Integrated environmental sensing for rack health: Beyond power, this iPDU continuously monitors environmental conditions within the rack such as temperature and humidity, enabling early detection of cooling inefficiencies or hotspots. Proactive alerts help prevent thermal-related incidents that can jeopardize equipment reliability, ensuring your servers and storage devices operate within safe thermal envelopes.
  • Advanced safety, overload protection, and control: The unit provides circuit overload detection and protective controls to help safeguard critical IT loads. With configurable thresholds and automatic shutdown or selective power cycling at the outlet level, you gain granular control over risk mitigation while maintaining uptime for essential services.
  • Seamless management and DCIM integration: Designed for modern data centers, the iPDU supports web-based management, SNMP, and API-driven integration for DCIM platforms. Live dashboards, alerting, and event logs simplify administration and enable central visibility across multiple racks, rows, or pods with consistent policy enforcement.
  • Flexible installation and scalable architecture: The horizontal 19-inch rack-mount form factor is ideal for dense deployments where space efficiency matters. Modular design and cable-management features help reduce clutter and improve airflow, while easy-to-reconfigure outlets and banks support evolving IT infrastructure without disruptive rewiring.

how to install Panduit P08E18M

Installing the Panduit P08E18M iPDU involves a straightforward sequence to ensure optimal performance, safety, and long-term reliability. Begin by selecting a suitable 19-inch rack location with adequate clearance for cable management and airflow. Mount the iPDU horizontally in the rack using the provided rails or mounting brackets, ensuring a secure fit that minimizes movement during maintenance. Route AC power cables to a dedicated circuit or UPS/protection device, avoiding daisy-chained power sources that can compromise protection and monitoring accuracy. Connect IT loads to the iPDU’s configured outlet banks, grouping devices with similar cooling and electrical requirements to simplify management and improve thermal balance. Establish network connectivity by connecting the iPDU’s Ethernet port to your management network, and access the web UI or API to configure IP address, DNS, and access credentials. Enable power and environmental monitoring features, set alert thresholds for temperature, humidity, and current per outlet, and tailor notification channels to your operations team. Integrate the iPDU with your DCIM, ITSM, or centralized monitoring solution for consolidated visibility and alarm correlation. Finally, perform a practical test: verify per-outlet metering accuracy, test alert delivery, and simulate a non-critical load event to confirm proper automatic responses. Routine checks, firmware updates, and periodic calibration will help maintain peak accuracy and reliability over the life of the data center deployment.

Great product
Style: Sport, Size: Large
This is a lifesaver. My lab will chase the ball all day and this saves the arms and shoulders. A little bit of a learning curve to use but I would definitely recommend

Labs love this!!!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Our Lab LOVES everything about this thing! Recommend getting extra durable balls as the 1 included fell apart in 1 hour. I have a very energetic Lab retriever that we have to force to stop playing ball so he does not overheat. That & the force with which you can throw this ball did not help keeping it from splitting it in 2 in less than 1 hour. This is worth the money for the extra throwing power & distance but do invest in the ULTRA strong ball for dogs like retrievers! Also, be sure to order the correct SIZE OF BALL, specific to each different size of throwing wand. My fav thing about this item is #1 the joy my dog gets from the new challenge of racing to catch longer throws, & #2 I don't have to get my hands covered in dog slobber!! He has gotten to where he can almost put it in the cup himself so I won't waste time throwing the ball again! Man, I love that dog!!! ❤️

Must-Have for Active Dogs!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
The Chuckit Sport 26L Dog Ball Launcher has been a game-changer for my large dog! My 80-pound Labrador loves to play fetch, and this launcher makes it so much easier and more enjoyable for both of us. The 26” length gives me the leverage to throw the ball much farther than I could by hand, which really helps burn off my dog’s energy. The included large ball (3”) is the perfect size for big dogs, and I appreciate that it’s made from durable rubber, so it withstands a lot of chewing and rough play. What I really love is that the launcher is so lightweight and easy to use. I can play fetch with my dog for extended periods without my arm getting tired. The ergonomic handle also provides a comfortable grip, which is a nice touch. If you have a large, active dog, the Chuckit Sport 26L is a must-have. It’s well-made, durable, and makes fetch more fun for both you and your dog. Highly recommend!

ChuckIt is AMAZING!
Style: Sport, Size: Large
I can't throw a ball to save my soul. Just got this today and lobbed a ball to the far end of my 1- acre yard. The dog loves it, and I love it!

I recommend using the KONG Extreme Dog Toy
Style: Sport, Size: Large
Helpful for throwing as much as my dog wants to fetch. I actually had to get a cortisone injection in my shoulder a few months after getting my dog - never had a dog with this much energy before! The Chuckit really helps. Downside: The ball that comes with it is larger than a tennis ball, so may be too much for smaller doge. I can't imagine my sister-in-law's french bulldog carrying it! Also, in our house it gets destroyed within minutes, as my dog is a strong chewer. For this situation, I recommend using the KONG Extreme Dog Toy, Black, size Large. This is shaped sort of like a snowman, which means it bounces unpredictably at times. My dog eventually chews the "head" off of this toy, but the remaining 2/3 still fits in the Chuckit (and is actually easier to throw with the "head" missing!). One caveat: the KONG is significantly heavier than the ball included with the Chuckit, so be aware of that... Also, we ordered our first Chickit in October 2015, then needed to replace it in May of 2017, as it broke. I think the plastic became brittle over that time, as we left it out in the sun & rain in Florida. Since it is cheap to replace, that's not a big deal. (We ordered three Kong toys over that same period of time!) To summarize, it's a very helpful tool to get the ball further, faster, with less strain, than without it. Knowing there are alternatives to the included ball for heavy chewers makes it worthwhile.
