The new Edge Cabinet and single-conversion power distribution unit (PDU), will be a perfect addition for your work space.
The inside of the majority of most telecommunications or servers’ equipment cabinets are usually 24 inches wide, however once the servers are they only require 19 inches of space, which leaves 5 inches of “wasted space.” The GE New Edge Cabinet also offers a secure place for DC rectifiers to make sure the appropriate power is being provided to the servers and their internal components. By replacing the space wasting cabinets that offices are currently using with the new GE Edge Cabinet Power Distribution Unit (PDU) The back of the cabinet can be used for the rectifiers, which can be directly integrated into the available slots on the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) allowing employees to have a manageable and tidy work area.

It is really no big surprise that people are less distracted when things are neat and tidy. If an employee can’t find their mouse to enter data or a ringing phone because it is buried under a stack of papers, or they have cords tangled and twisted all over the place this is going to cause them to be distracted and less productive. When an employee cannot focus on their work due to a distraction then it should be remedied. That is why the GE Edge Cabinet Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a perfect solution.
