The Schleifenbauer B295VIP3301 Inline Meter Vertical 5.0 Gateway is a robust and highly adaptable for modern data centers and technical infrastructure environments that demand precision, scalability, and minimal downtime. Engineered with a compact vertical form factor, this three-phase 32A inline meter features a metered input and a single outlet, designed to retrofit seamlessly into existing power delivery systems without requiring replacement of your core infrastructure.
What distinguishes this model is its advanced communication capabilities, including a toolless, hot-swappable communications module that supports dual 1Gbps Ethernet via RJ45 or USB, along with daisy-chaining through RJ45 and sensor integration through USB expansion. The B295VIP3301 streamlines network overhead with support for up to 100 PDUs sharing a single IP address, significantly reducing port allocation and cabling complexity.
Its remote display functionality accessible through a secure NFC smartphone app simplifies on-site diagnostics and setup, eliminating the need for external interfaces. Moreover, this inline meter is ESD safe, ensuring reliable operation in sensitive environments. Designed for vertical installation and long-term durability, the unit not only delivers real-time energy monitoring and reporting but does so with a level of integration and safety that supports both immediate deployment and future expansion strategies.
Monitor PDU status and energy data on-site using an NFC-enabled smartphone app, with support for up to 100 PDUs over a single IP address, in a design that’s both ESD safe and equipped with a toolless, hot-swappable communications module.
Equipped with dual 1Gbps Ethernet interfaces and flexible connection options including RJ45 daisy chaining and USB expansion, this module integrates securely with Enertree software via TLS encryption for centralized PDU oversight.
A 2-meter halogen-free 5G6 power lead with a CEE plug and strain relief support ensures a safe and compliant connection, ready for reliable performance in high-demand rack configurations.
Designed to handle intensive electrical loads, the unit operates on a three-phase 32A system rated for 230/400V at 50Hz, delivering steady power in critical infrastructure applications.
Features a 0.5-meter halogen-free exit lead terminating in a secure IEC60309 socket, offering a standardized output interface for efficient integration with downstream equipment.

Starting April 2025, Schleifenbauer is introducing the PDU 5.0, a cutting-edge Power Distribution Unit (PDU) crafted through collaboration with over 40 data centre operators. This next-generation PDU, paired with EnerTree software, is designed to address the unique challenges of modern data centres. Perfectly suited for the high demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI), High-Performance Computing (HPC), and Machine Learning (ML), the PDU 5.0 provides enhanced energy management and performance optimisation. With this solution, data centres can expect reliable, scalable power distribution, advanced monitoring, and seamless adaptability to the evolving digital landscape.
The PDU 5.0 by Schleifenbauer streams live data from the PDU, offering real-time monitoring of power usage and environmental factors. This provides instant access to critical data, allowing you to respond immediately to changes and prevent potential issues, contributing to a more stable and reliable IT environment.
With the ability to manage up to 100 PDUs through a single IP address, the PDU 5.0 minimises network management complexity. This saves time and reduces operational costs, enabling data centre managers to work more efficiently.
The integrated LED ring provides a quick visual status display of the PDU, allowing administrators to instantly understand the PDU’s status and detect any alerts or issues. This feature makes routine checks faster and simpler.
Using the Rack PDU Display app and NFC technology, you can easily access PDU data without the need for a physical display on the PDU itself. This adds flexibility, eliminates a vulnerable component, and allows for secure, rapid local access to PDU measurement data.
With encryption and specific access settings, the PDU 5.0 ensures secure data exchange within your data centre, keeping sensitive information well-protected.
The PDU 5.0 comes equipped with EnerTree software, enabling advanced energy management with monitoring, reporting, and alert features.
The software supports various devices, including third-party PDUs, UPS systems, cooling equipment, and sensors, making it an all-in-one solution for data centre managers.
This functionality enables the PDU to measure the total incoming energy consumption. The unit monitors the complete flow of current, voltage, power, and energy (kWh) from the power source into the PDU.
This data provides valuable insights for analysing and optimising energy usage within the data centre or server room – supporting cost control, capacity planning, and the identification of inefficiencies.
If the PDU is configured with multiple phases, energy consumption is measured per phase. If divided into multiple protected groups, consumption is monitored individually per group.
Measured parameters include: Voltage (V), Voltage dips/spikes (V), Current (A), Peak current (A), Active power (W), Apparent power (VA), Reactive power (VAR), Energy (Wh), Apparent energy (VAh), Total harmonic distortion (%), Crest factor, Frequency (Hz), Power factor.
Monitoring energy consumption also helps improve Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) – a key metric for energy efficiency in data centres – and supports compliance with the EU Energy Efficiency Directive (EED).
The modular structure of the PDU 5.0, with hot-swappable communication modules such as Gateway, Controller, and Daisy Chain, offers flexible integration without downtime. This allows for easy adaptation to evolving data centre needs without operational interruptions.
With plug-and-play sensor capabilities, the PDU supports up to 32 sensors per unit, enabling extensive environmental monitoring and management. The dual 1 Gbps network connectivity (Ethernet port & USB Port), Dual Databus, and Dual USB on the Gateway and Controller modules ensure reliable, high-speed connections within your network.
Designed for advanced energy management alongside the EnerTree Platform with web GUI, this module centralises data from PDUs, improving efficiency and lowering costs by requiring less hardware within the PDU.
The intelligence of the PDU resides within the EnerTree Platform for high-compute power monitoring, optimising physical storage for historical PDU data, assisting with risk analysis, and system management.
The Gateway module is equipped with a 1 Gbps Ethernet RJ45 port with status indicators, 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators, and 2 USB-A ports. A secondary 1 Gbps Ethernet port is supported via USB. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).
The embedded EnerTree Lite software with an internal web GUI for conventional management. For data centres that prefer a traditional, standalone approach, the Controller Module provides an embedded EnerTree Lite solution with PDU intelligence and web interface within the module.
This module is fully compatible with other PDU monitoring and management software, delivering essential functionality via “EnerTree Lite,” a simplified version of the complete EnerTree platform.
The Controller module is equipped with a 1 Gbps Ethernet RJ45 port with status indicators, 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators, and 2 USB-A ports. A secondary 1 Gbps Ethernet port is supported via USB. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).
A secure data communication module without an Ethernet port, collecting and transmitting data from PDU to the Gateway or Controller. The Daisy Chain Module acts as a Data Relay Module, facilitating PDU network expansion by creating a ring topology.
This reduces the need for additional Ethernet ports and enhances security by minimising the risk of external access. In this ring configuration, a single Gateway or Controller module suffices to communicate with the EnerTree platform or other PDU monitoring systems, supporting up to 100 PDUs on one IP address.
This setup enables ultra-fast, real-time data transmission, improving scalability and operational efficiency. The module is equipped with 2 Databus RJ45 ports with status indicators and 2 USB-A ports. All interfaces support zero-touch provisioning (plug-and-play).
