Quick Summary
PDU basic powers IT racks with compact distribution for data centers and network closets. Many deployments struggle with limited space, awkward zero-U mounting, and tangled cabling that slows deployment and increases risk. This solution is designed to fit VX IT and TS IT systems, offering vertical or horizontal mounting and tool-free installation where possible. It meets EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 with CE marking, ensuring regulatory compliance in critical environments. For IT managers, the business value comes from predictable power delivery, simplified cable routing, and scalable configurations that support growing rack density. Use cases span server rooms, edge data centers, and telecom cabinets, with a compact footprint that preserves valuable rack space.

Product description
PDU basic 32A/1P CEE 12xC13+4xC19, DK PDU basic, Compact basic power distributor, WHD: 44x845x70, IEC 60320: 12 x C13, 4 x C19
12x C13 and 4x C19 outlets deliver flexible load distribution for mixed IT equipment, reducing cable spaghetti and improving airflow. In practice, this enables one PDU to handle servers, switches, and storage devices in a single rack, boosting space efficiency and simplifying spare-part planning. Vertical and horizontal mounting options align with VX IT frames or TS IT racks, providing installation flexibility and zero-U integration that speeds deployments in new builds or refresh projects. The extruded aluminium housing with anodised finish offers lightweight durability while plastic slots provide rugged cable management. A 3 m IEC CEE connection lead and a connector lock for C14/C20 connectors simplify infeed connections and protect against accidental disconnections, reducing downtime. Optional Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters and status monitoring supports proactive protection and regulatory compliance in dynamic IT environments. All of this is underpinned by the EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 standards, helping IT teams meet audits and maintain seamless operation in VX IT enclosure ecosystems.
