Power distribution unit ACT PD3004 19" C14 IEC60320 with 8 Type F sockets, 3 m H05VV-F 3G1.0, 230 V 10 A

The ACT Extension lead PDU 19" C14 IEC60320 with 8 type F sockets (3 m H05VV-F 3G1.0) is a 1U rack-mountable power distribution unit designed for network cabinets and server racks. It provides eight grounded angled outlets and a three-metre supply cable with a C14 connector. The unit features thermal overload protection with a reset button, multi-position mounting brackets and all necessary mounting hardware.

Advantages

The aluminium-housed PDU offers eight 45° angled grounded type F sockets with child protection and red colouring for easier identification of critical loads, especially when paired with a UPS. Built-in thermal overload protection (2500 W / 10 A) with a reset button improves safety, while the included 3 m H05VV-F 3G1.0 cable with C14 connector simplifies installation. Multi-angled mounting brackets and supplied cage nuts, screws and plastic washers allow flexible positioning in a 1U 19" rack.

Suitable for

• Powering servers, switches and other rack-mounted IT equipment in 19" 1U racks
• Use in network cabinets and small server rooms where space is limited
• Racks that require clearly identified UPS-protected outlets

When it may not be suitable

This PDU is rated for a maximum of 2500 W and 10 A; it is not suitable where higher power or higher current capacity is required. It is designed for indoor use and for installation in 19" 1U racks, so it is not appropriate for standalone floor use or environments that need weatherproof or outdoor-rated equipment.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19" 1U rack-mount PDU

How to use

Mount the PDU into a 1U space in a 19" rack using the supplied mounting brackets and hardware; the brackets allow multiple mounting positions to suit your rack layout. Connect the 3 m C14 cable to a compatible mains inlet or UPS output and distribute power to rack devices via the eight angled sockets. If the overload protection trips, press the reset button after resolving the overload condition.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure total connected load does not exceed 2500 W / 10 A
• Confirm compatibility of type F outlets and C14 input with your equipment and mains/UPS connectors
• Verify you have a 1U free space in a 19" rack for installation
• Indoor installation only — not suitable for outdoor or wet environments

Usage recommendations

Distribute high-draw devices across multiple PDUs or phases where possible and monitor combined load to avoid tripping the thermal overload. Use the red outlets to designate UPS-backed equipment for clearer cable management and quick identification during maintenance.
