Power extension ACT PD3155 — 3 m cable, 9 Type E AC outlets, 250 V, 16 A, 4000 W, Indoor, Black/Red

The ACT PD3155 is a 1U 19" power extension lead (PDU) designed for indoor use in network cabinets and server racks. It provides eight grounded Type E outlets arranged at a 45° angle in a red housing for easier identification of critical equipment, and includes a 3 m H05VV-F 3G1.0 cable with a C14 connector. The unit features thermal overload protection with a reset button and comes with multi-angled mounting brackets and all required mounting hardware.

Advantages

The angled red sockets improve cable routing and help identify UPS-protected or critical circuits. Built-in thermal overload protection with a reset button enhances safety for rack installations, while the included multi-position mounting brackets and full mounting kit simplify installation into a 1U 19" rack. The 3 m cable length offers flexibility in positioning the PDU within cabinets.

Suitable for

• Power distribution for servers and network equipment in 1U 19" racks
• Installations where UPS-connected outlets need clear visual identification
• Indoor server rooms, telecom cabinets, and network closets

When it may not be suitable

This PDU uses grounded Type E outlets and a C14 input — it may not be suitable where other outlet types or plug standards are required. The unit is specified for indoor use and is not intended for outdoor or wet environments. Verify compatibility with the maximum input ratings of connected equipment and the supply circuit before installation.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U, 19" rack-mountable
• Outlets: 8x grounded Type E, 45° angled, child protection
• Input connector: C14 coupler with 3 m H05VV-F 3G1.0 cable
• Thermal overload protection: 2500 W / 10 A with reset button
• Placement: Indoor
• Housing material: Aluminium
• Colors: Black housing with red outlets

How to use

Mount the PD3155 in a 1U space of a 19" rack using the included brackets and mounting hardware. Position the brackets at the desired angle, secure with the supplied cage nuts, screws and plastic washers, then route the 3 m cable to a compatible C14 supply. Connect equipment to the angled Type E outlets, taking care not to exceed the unit's thermal overload rating; if the overload trips, use the reset button to restore power once the cause has been addressed.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure Type E outlets and C14 input are compatible with your equipment and local plug standards
• Confirm the PDU's thermal overload rating meets the aggregate power draw of connected devices
• Verify indoor placement and rack depth allow for 3 m cable routing

Usage recommendations

For reliable rack power distribution, use the ACT PD3155 to group UPS-protected devices on the red outlets, avoid overloading the PDU beyond its thermal limit, and secure cables to maintain airflow and prevent strain on connectors.
