Rittal DK 7859.080 Modular PDU - IP 20

Zero-U space integration reduces rack depth usage and increases mounting space, enabling higher density IT deployments in modern data centers. The DK 7859.080 is designed for 800 mm wide VX IT cabinets and enables vertical installation in the zero-U gap between side panels and the 19" mounting level. Its 1,695 mm length and six module slots deliver a compact power backbone that keeps critical cabling tidy and accessible. This approach minimizes front-to-back clearance issues in busy racks and speeds deployment, especially in multi-rack rows. PSM busbar modular power distribution provides a flexible layout across six module slots with two infeeds, allowing engineers to tailor power per rack area and surge protection as loads evolve. The modular topology supports future expansion with minimal downtime, avoiding complete rewiring of the rack bay. It’s especially advantageous for mixed IT environments where servers, storage, and network gear draw varying currents, improving thermal management by reducing heat hotspots. Robust, WAGO X-COM connections offer reliable plug-in cabling and straightforward maintenance, while the aluminium section with natural anodised finish delivers durability and corrosion resistance for indoor installations. The lightweight yet rigid profile simplifies handling during installation and service, reducing crane or forklift dependency in large cabinets. Together with IP 20 protection, the module maintains safe operation amid routine dust and humidity exposure typical in data centers. Operating conditions span 5 °C to 45 °C and 10–90% ambient humidity, aligning with standard IT room environments and ensuring predictable performance across shifts. The enclosure-fit guidance specifies VX IT compatibility and height ≥ 2,000 mm, ensuring the unit integrates with existing rack ecosystems. The product also aligns with ETIM 9 (EC002762) and ECLASS 8.0 (27371306), streamlining procurement and asset management. Overall, the DK 7859.080 Modular PDU delivers a scalable, space-efficient power backbone for modern IT infrastructure, helping operators optimize rack density, reduce wiring complexity, and maintain uptime in demanding environments. With 3~ per infeed and a maximum 16 A rating, it supports a wide range of workloads while keeping installation straightforward for field technicians.
