Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004451

The dedicated corridor within a data center or server room that houses power distribution infrastructure. It contains equipment such as power distribution units (PDUs), remote power panels, and conduit for electrical cabling, keeping high-voltage components separate from data cabling and server access aisles. This layout isolates electrical maintenance activities from IT operations and is a key component of data center design standards like ANSI/TIA-942.
