480V 400A 28-Port PA45 Smart PDU

Product Description

The ANEN 28-Port PA45 400A Smart PDU is a high-capacity crypto mining PDU designed for demanding cryptocurrency mining environments. With a 3-phase input of 346–480 VAC and 3 × 400A input capacity, it provides a reliable way to distribute large amounts of electrical power to mining machines, racks, and other high-load equipment.

Built around 28 x 6-pin PA45 sockets, this PDU supports T21 and S21 compatible connections for flexible equipment deployment. Each output port includes an independent 3P 30A circuit breaker, helping operators manage individual loads while adding another layer of circuit protection.

Beyond basic power distribution, the unit provides detailed electrical monitoring and remote control. Operators can remotely monitor voltage, current, power, power factor, and energy consumption, while individual ports support remote ON/OFF control. An onboard LCD provides local access to operating information and menu controls.

For large mining farms, blockchain facilities, and other high-density computing environments, this smart PDU combines high-current distribution, intelligent monitoring, and centralized management in one platform.

Smart PDU and Power Distribution Unit Monitoring

The ANEN PA45 PDU provides real-time electrical information at the input level, including:

• Input current

• Input voltage

• Active power

• Power factor

• Energy consumption in kWh

This information helps operators understand how their electrical system is performing and identify abnormal consumption patterns.

Remote ON/OFF control also allows operators to manage individual output ports without physically accessing the equipment. For facilities where PDUs are installed inside racks, cabinets, or restricted mining areas, remote control can reduce unnecessary maintenance trips.

An onboard LCD display provides local access to key information and menu functions. At the same time, Ethernet and RS485 interfaces support integration with centralized monitoring and management systems.

Supported communication and management protocols include HTTP, SNMP, SSH2, MODBUS, and CA protocols. As a result, the PDU can fit into different infrastructure-monitoring environments instead of forcing operators to adopt a single management platform.

Crypto Mining PDU Applications and Use Cases

The primary application for this industrial PDU is high-density cryptocurrency mining. Mining farms often operate large numbers of machines simultaneously, making stable and organized power distribution essential.

The 28-port configuration is particularly useful for grouping machines into manageable electrical circuits. Each PA45 outlet connects to an individual load, while its 3P 30A circuit breaker provides dedicated protection.

Typical applications include:

Cryptocurrency Mining Farms

Large mining farms can use the PDU to distribute high-capacity 3-phase power to groups of mining machines. Remote monitoring helps operators keep track of electrical conditions without constantly visiting each distribution point.

Blockchain Computing Facilities

Blockchain infrastructure may require large amounts of computing power and continuous operation. The PDU provides high-current distribution together with remote electrical monitoring.

High-Density Computing

High-performance computing installations can also benefit from a high-capacity distribution platform where power consumption needs close monitoring.

Industrial Equipment

The PDU can support selected industrial applications that require high-current 3-phase power distribution and individual circuit protection.

Modular Mining Containers

Containerized mining systems require compact and organized electrical infrastructure. ANEN can integrate the PA45 PDU with distribution cabinets, racks, cables, connectors, and other components to create a complete containerized solution.

Why Choose ANEN as Your Power Distribution Unit Manufacturer?

Choosing a power distribution unit manufacturer involves more than comparing product specifications. Reliability, manufacturing capability, customization support, quality control, and after-sales service all influence the long-term value of a PDU project.

Direct Factory Source

ANEN operates as a direct manufacturer, allowing customers to communicate with engineering and production teams throughout the project. This helps shorten communication cycles and supports faster responses to technical requirements.

OEM and ODM Capability

Our OEM/ODM capabilities support custom PDU designs, connector configurations, cable assemblies, enclosures, labels, and project-specific electrical solutions.

Whether a customer needs a customized PA45 PDU or a complete power-distribution system, ANEN can work from technical drawings and application requirements.

Quality Assurance

The 28-Port PA45 400A Smart PDU is UL/cUL Listed and Certified and carries the ETL Mark. These certifications provide important assurance for customers working on demanding electrical projects.

ANEN also maintains established quality-management and manufacturing processes across its product lines.

Complete Product Portfolio

Our capabilities extend from PDU products to plugs, connectors, power cables, cable assemblies, distribution cabinets, racks, and containerized systems.

This allows ANEN to support both individual product requirements and larger electrical infrastructure projects.

After-Sales Support

Technical questions do not end when the product leaves the factory. ANEN provides comprehensive after-sales support for product selection, installation guidance, troubleshooting, and project-related technical communication.

For large-scale crypto mining installations, responsive technical support can be especially valuable when equipment operates continuously.

Rack-Mount PDU and Server Rack PDU Applications

Although this product is primarily designed for crypto mining, its high-current architecture also makes it suitable for other high-density computing and industrial environments.

A conventional rack-mount PDU typically focuses on distributing power to equipment installed inside a server rack. In contrast, a high-capacity PA45 configuration can serve environments where power requirements extend beyond conventional IT loads.

For example, a server rack PDU installation may require detailed power monitoring for multiple high-performance computing systems. The same principle applies to cryptocurrency mining racks, where each group of machines can represent a substantial electrical load.

The 28-port configuration provides an organized connection point for multiple machines while reducing cable clutter around the main distribution system. Individual circuit breakers further simplify troubleshooting and maintenance.

The PDU can therefore support applications such as:

• Cryptocurrency mining racks

• Blockchain computing facilities

• High-density server rooms

• HPC environments

• Digital asset mining farms

• Industrial computing installations

• High-load equipment rooms

• Edge computing infrastructure

For projects that require more than a standard rack-mounted distribution solution, ANEN can also develop a broader power-distribution architecture around the PDU.
