ACT 19-inch PDU Extension Lead with C14 IEC60320 Input and 8 Type F Sockets, 3-Meter Cable

The ACT 19-inch PDU Extension Lead with C14 IEC60320 Input and 8 Type F Sockets, 3-Meter Cable is a professional power distribution unit designed for efficient power management in indoor server racks and network cabinets. Built to occupy 1U of space in standard 19-inch equipment enclosures, this power strip provides a reliable centralized power source for connected hardware.

Advantages

This power distribution unit features an aluminium housing that ensures durability in demanding professional environments. It is equipped with eight grounded Type F AC outlets positioned at a 45-degree angle, which simplifies cable routing and prevents plugs from blocking adjacent ports. The distinct red color of the sockets allows for quick visual identification, making it particularly useful for distinguishing circuits connected to an uninterruptible power supply. Multi-angled mounting brackets offer flexible installation options, and the unit comes complete with necessary mounting hardware including cage nuts, bolts, and plastic washers.

Suitable for

• Power distribution in 19-inch server racks and network cabinets
• Connecting professional IT hardware to a UPS backup system
• Organizing power cables in data centers and server rooms
• Indoor professional equipment power management

When it may not be suitable

This power distribution unit is not designed for outdoor environments or areas exposed to moisture. It is also unsuitable for high-power industrial machinery that exceeds the maximum electrical ratings of 230V, 10A, and 2500W.

How to use

Mount the unit securely into a 19-inch server rack or network cabinet using the provided brackets, cage nuts, and bolts, choosing the appropriate mounting angle for your setup. Connect the C14 power input cable to a compatible power source or UPS outlet. Plug your devices into the Type F sockets, ensuring that the total combined power consumption does not exceed 2500W or 10A. In the event of an overload, the thermal protection will trip, allowing you to reset the unit using the built-in reset button after disconnecting excess load.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your rack or cabinet supports standard 19-inch 1U equipment
• Check that your power source matches the C14 input requirement
• Ensure that the total power draw of your connected devices remains within the 2500W and 10A limits
• Confirm that your equipment plugs are compatible with Type F grounded sockets

Usage recommendations: Always calculate the total wattage of all connected hardware prior to operation to prevent thermal overload. Utilize the red sockets specifically for critical devices linked to a UPS to maintain clear visual identification during maintenance.
