Abstract
Systems and methods for distributing power within a rack system, including a power distribution unit (“PDU”) and multiple servers, are provided. The internal power cable contains a first or a second power socket at one of its ends. The first power socket can be located on the same side as t the PDU while the second power socket can be located close to a PSU of the PSUs that are located on a different side of the PDU. The first power socket of the internal power cable can be connected to the PDU via a first short power cable. The PSU located on the different side of the PDU can be connected to the PDU via a second short power cable between the second power socket of the internal power cable and a power socket of the PSU, the internal power cable, and the first short power cable.
