DATA CENTER POWER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

A system includes a direct current uninterruptible power supply (DC UPS) that receives an alternating current (AC) power input and provides a first DC power output. The system also includes a power distribution unit (PDU). The PDU receives the first DC power output from the DC UPS. The PDU converts the first DC power output into a second DC power output that supplies power to at least one component of information technology equipment (ITE) via a DC mating connector.
