dB Broadcast Extends Cardinal MDU Range at BVE06

dB Broadcast Extends Cardinal MDU Range at BVE2016 14 January 2016

Cambridgeshire, UK Leading systems integrator dB Broadcast is using BVE2016 to introduce several additions to the Cardinal range of Mains Distribution Units (MDUs). These new mains distribution products are optimised for applications where the full feature set of high end intelligent' MDUs is not required, and will provide customers with a more cost effective option for mains distribution within equipment bays.

The additions to the Cardinal range are based on two new base products: the MDU and the eMDU. In parallel with these new product introductions, dB Broadcast continues to supply the industry leading Cardinal iMDU (intelligent MDU).

The Cardinal MDU provides an extremely cost effective entry level product that provides 12 individually fused IEC outlets, with options for either a single 16A input or a changeover version with dual 16A inputs, in a 1RU package. An optional meter is available to monitor the current drawn by the connected equipment. The introduction of the Cardinal MDU enables users to benefit from the high build quality and reliability of the Cardinal range at a lower price point than before, and so is ideal for applications where remote control and monitoring are not required.

The Cardinal eMDU (enhanced MDU) augments the basic MDU product functionality with the inclusion of user configurable sequential output switching, current monitoring with a user definable alarm, and an interface for connection to a dB Broadcast Cardinal iMDU (intelligent MDU) - enabling remote status monitoring and control. Sequential start up protects mains infrastructure by avoiding an excessive current surge when an equipment rack is first powered up. Current monitoring provides operators with the information necessary to manage equipment power consumption, and to identify failing equipment before their end customers are impacted. By combining one or more Cardinal eMDU units with a Cardinal iMDU, broadcasters have a unique and cost effective approach to enabling multiple mains distribution units to be monitored and controlled remotely over a network using a single Ethernet connection and IP address.

The Cardinal iMDU remains the product of choice for major broadcasters and network operators worldwide seeking a solution that is engineered for high reliability, and which provides comprehensive network remote control and monitoring capabilities.

According to Tom Swan, Sales and Marketing Director at dB Broadcast: We have listened to customer feedback and responded with the introduction of these new MDU products, offering our customers a choice of MDU solutions to suit their application, from a basic MDU, an enhanced MDU, through to our established flagship of the range, the Cardinal intelligent MDU.

dB is now taking enquiries for the new range of Cardinal MDUs, and will be at BVE Stand F40.
