Description
Power whips are pre-assembled electrical cables designed to connect Power Distribution Units (PDUs) or Remote Power Panels (RPPs) to individual server racks or equipment.
They provide consistent and uninterrupted power delivery to critical data center components, minimizing downtime risks.
Power whips efficiently route electricity from PDUs to server racks, reducing cable clutter and contributing to improved airflow and cooling efficiency. Proper cable management also prevents overcrowding in underfloor or overhead pathways.
Amphenol Power 3-Phase AC Whips For Data Center Power Distribution Safe, Rugged and Reliable Solution
- Purpose: To deliver 3-phase power, often at higher voltages like 415V/480V, directly to equipment.
- Application: Used in data centers and other industrial settings with Open Compute Project (OCP) standards, connecting to specialized power shelves and distribution cabinets.
- Wiring: Designed for 3-phase WYE wiring (4 wires + ground).
- Connectors: Features specialized connectors, such as the OCP 7-pin universal input connector, to facilitate this connection.
Flexibility in Amphenol solution:
- Customizable Lengths: Available in a variety of lengths and configurations to suit specific data center layouts.
- Support for Multiple Voltages: Designed to handle diverse voltage requirements, including 120V, 208V, and 240V, catering to a wide range of equipment needs.
- Plug-and-Play Installation: Pre-terminated designs simplify installation and make reconfigurations faster, enhancing scalability.
Applications in Data Centers:
- Underfloor Distribution: In raised-floor environments, power whips route electricity beneath the floor to connect PDUs with equipment racks
- Overhead Distribution: In overhead configurations, power whips are routed through cable trays or conduits above the racks.
