IBM 3584-1950 – Power Distribution Unit for Fiber Switch

Detailed Description:

The IBM 3584-1950 Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is an essential component designed for fiber switch applications within IBM’s tape library systems. This PDU is specifically engineered to ensure a reliable and consistent power supply to the fiber switches that are critical for data transmission and communication within the library. It features multiple output connectors to distribute power efficiently across the switches, ensuring that each switch operates at optimal performance levels without the risk of power shortages or disruptions. The robust design of the IBM 3584-1950 includes built-in surge protection to safeguard against electrical spikes and fluctuations, thereby extending the lifespan of both the PDU and the connected fiber switches. Its compact form factor allows for seamless integration into the library’s existing infrastructure, minimizing the footprint and simplifying maintenance. This PDU is an indispensable component for businesses that rely on IBM tape libraries for their data storage and retrieval needs, providing a stable power foundation for high-speed data communication and ensuring the reliability of their data management operations.
