Rittal DK 7979.131 PDU basic - EN 62368-1 & CE

The DK PDU basic unit delivers 32 A max across three-phase infeeds into 12 x C19 outlets, ensuring robust, predictable power for IT gear. Its compact footprint—44 mm wide, 1,095 mm long—preserves rack density while keeping outlets accessible for cabling and front access. This translates into measurable efficiency gains, improved thermal management, and reliable provisioning for servers, storage, and switches in data centers and edge computing facilities. Mounting versatility drives installation speed and scalability. It supports horizontal mounting at the standard 482.6 mm (19") level or vertical zero-U installation in compatible VX IT racks, enabling tool-free integration in tight spaces. The result is faster rack provisioning, easier serviceability, and future-proof capacity as IT loads evolve across enterprise networks. Construction and accessories matter for long-term uptime. The PDU uses an extruded aluminium section with anodised finish and plastic slots, delivering strength without excessive weight. It includes a connector lock for IEC C14 and C20 connectors plus assembly parts, reducing commissioning time and miswiring risks in busy data halls. Protection and compliance reduce risk and complexity. An optional Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters provides status monitoring and ready integration into PDU enclosures. The unit complies with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1 safety standards, simplifying procurement and accelerating regulatory approvals for new IT deployments.
