Function and operational benefits
The MBP11KIG2 provides a controlled bypass path so you can perform UPS maintenance without powering down connected equipment. The maintenance bypass provides clear, repeatable switching procedures that reduce the risk of human error during service windows. The combination of hardwired input and C39 outputs supports typical rack power arrangements and helps keep cabling tidy and predictable.
Installation and compatibility
This modular PDU fits standard 19-inch racks and occupies 3U of rack space, making it easy to plan rack layouts. The package includes a rack-mounting kit and accessories shown in the product images, including mounting brackets and cable gland components to simplify attachment and cable entry. As the input is hardwired, coordinate with site electrical work and breaker schedules to meet capacity and safety requirements.
Reliability and compliance
Designed for continuous data centre use, the unit supports up to 11,000 VA of connected load and operates at typical equipment-room temperatures from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius. It holds IEC/EN 62040 series certifications and carries CE and UKCA marks to help meet regulatory expectations while preserving service continuity during maintenance.
