PDU is short for power distribution unit. PDUs are, essentially, industrial-grade power strips used (in most cases) to power servers and telecommunications equipment. Often, you will have too many devices on your site and you cannot plug them all directly into a power source. You need a PDU to distribute power from the site to each device. This is possible because the PDU converts one (or several) power inputs into many power outputs.

PDUs are available in both AC and DC models. For example, DC power distribution units are designed to provide DC format current used by many rack-mounted devices.
