Product description
DK PDU UK, metered, compact basic power distribution incl. energy measurement per phase, with network interface and display, WLD: 44 x1695 x70 mm, 16xBS 1363, 4x C19, IEC 60 320: 4x C19
Metered power distribution with per-phase energy measurement and a user-friendly display improves visibility into rack-level consumption, enabling accurate chargeback and capacity planning. This directly translates to reduced energy waste, higher data-center efficiency, and better budgeting for IT workloads. The compact WLD: 44 x 1695 x 70 mm with 16x BS 1363 and 4x C19 sockets saves valuable rack space while simplifying cable management in dense VX IT installations. An integrated network interface supports remote monitoring and data collection, while optional CMC III CAN bus sensors enable ambient condition monitoring for proactive maintenance. Type 3 overvoltage protection with interchangeable arresters (optional) enhances safety without interrupting uptime. Aluminium construction with black anodising and plastic slots ensures durability in harsh data-center environments, with compatibility for VX IT enclosure frames ≥ 1,800 mm.

FAQs
Install in VX IT enclosure frames with a minimum height of 1,800 mm. Use the 44 mm width and 1,695 mm length footprint, mount the 16x BS 1363 and 4x C19 sockets, and connect the 3 m CEE-specified power lead. The design supports a single infeed and phase-aligned wiring; for VX IT installations consider the available divider kit for tool-free customization to optimize rack space and airflow.
Key specs include a maximum 32 A rated current, up to 7.4 kW power, 16x BS 1363 sockets plus 4x C19 sockets, 3 m connection cable, and a single infeed with one phase per infeed. The unit uses a CEE power connection and complies with EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1, ensuring safe operation within standard data-center power architectures.
Yes. The DK PDU UK is specifically designed for data centers and free-standing IT racks, delivering per-phase energy measurement, a network interface, and a compact form factor suitable for VX IT enclosures and 19" server rails. Its metered design supports energy accounting, capacity planning, and load management across multiple racks.
This PDU complies with CE marking under EMC Directive 2014/30/EU and EN 62368-1. It also lists product identifiers such as the EAN and tariff classifications, confirming conformance with industry safety and interoperability standards relevant for IT infrastructure.
The per-phase energy measurement enables precise energy accounting, supporting more accurate chargeback and energy optimization. The network interface allows remote monitoring, reducing on-site visits. Optional CMC III CAN bus sensors enable ambient monitoring for proactive maintenance. Together with scalable deployment (minimum order volume of 5 units), this can shorten ROI through energy savings, improved uptime, and simpler regulatory reporting.
