Modular electronic systems and methods using flexible power distribution unit interface

摘要

A modular electronic equipment system (100) includes a plurality of equipment racks (140,240). Each equipment rack (140,240) includes a equipment rack frame (245) configured to receive and support electronic equipment (142,242), a power input cable (141,241) having a first end fixedly attached to the equipment rack frame (245) and configured to be electrically coupled to electronic equipment (142,242) supported by the equipment rack frame (245) to provide power thereto and a first connector (143,243) attached to a second end of the power input cable (141,241). The system further includes a power distribution rack (110,210). The power distribution rack (110,210) includes a power distribution rack frame (215) and a plurality of second connectors (117) supported by the power distribution rack frame (215) and configured to pluggably mate with the first connectors (143,243) of the equipment racks (140,240).
