Product description
PDU basic 32A/3P CEE 36xC13+6xC19, DK PDU basic, Compact basic power distributor, WHD: 44x1895x70 mm, IEC 60 320: 36 x C13, 6 x C19
Feature: Extruded aluminium section with anodised finish creates a durable, lightweight PDU body. The compact dimensions—Width 44 mm, Depth 70 mm, Length 1,495 mm—maximize rack real estate while maintaining mechanical rigidity. Weight is 5 kg per pack, simplifying handling during installation and service intervals. Business impact: easier handling reduces installation time and lowers physical risk during deployment. Application: ideal for IT rack upgrades in data centers and edge compute cabinets. Feature: 400 V (AC) supply with 16 A maximum current across 3~ infeeds. The 36 x C13 and 6 x C19 outlets enable dense IT load distribution from a single unit. This configuration reduces the number of PDUs required and streamlines power planning for servers and storage. Application: server rooms and storage arrays in mid-to-large data centers. Feature: 3 m length connection cable and CEE-type inlet standardize integration with data center power chains. Infeed is single and three-phase per infeed, enabling robust distribution with clear phase balance. Onsite wiring complexity is minimized by including assembly parts and a connector lock for IEC C14/C20 connectors. Application: retrofit projects and new builds where fast, reliable wiring is essential. Feature: Optional Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters and monitoring. This feature supports proactive protection, reducing unplanned downtime and extending equipment life. Status monitoring helps operators verify protection status remotely and meets compliance expectations. Application: critical IT workloads and network gear requiring enhanced protection. Feature: Flexible mounting options—horizontal 19" level or vertical zero-U mounting; tailored to VX IT enclosure frames. Vertical mounting fits into zero-U space, while horizontal mounting aligns with standard 19" racking. VX IT compatibility (enclosure frames ≥ 1,800 mm) ensures scalable integration in growing data centers. Application: new builds and modular upgrades in enterprise IT environments. Feature: Ready-to-install packaging includes assembly parts and mounting aids; slots plastic provide cable management opportunities. The PDU basic is designed for IT environments with broad temperature and humidity tolerance: 5 °C to 50 °C, 10–95% RH non-condensing. Practical benefits include reduced downtime, faster deployment, and predictable energy distribution across IT loads.
