Power Distribution Unit Delta PD-8/RACK-N 19" 1U with 8x Schuko outlets

Delta PD-8/RACK-N 19" 1U with 8x Schuko outlets is a rack-mount power distribution unit designed for professional IT, networking and audio-visual environments. The device fits a standard 19-inch server rack in a single 1U height and provides eight grounded Schuko (Type F) mains outlets for powering servers, switches, routers, storage devices and peripheral equipment. Its compact form factor and standardized mounting make it suitable for dense rack installations where space efficiency and reliable mains distribution are required.

Advantages

The unit offers a space-saving 1U design that preserves valuable rack space while delivering multiple grounded outlets. All eight Schuko sockets provide secure, earth-connected power distribution suitable for European mains equipment. The rack-mount configuration ensures stable installation and easy access to outlets from the front or rear depending on rack layout. Constructed for continuous operation in typical server-room conditions, the PDU supports centralized power management of rack devices and reduces the need for individual extension cords inside the cabinet.

Suitable for

• Server racks in data centers and server rooms
• Network cabinets housing switches, routers and patch panels
• Audio-visual racks for amplifiers, mixers and media players
• Small office and branch IT installations requiring multiple grounded outlets

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19-inch rack, 1U height
• Number of outlets: 8 grounded Schuko (Type F) sockets
• Mounting: front-mountable in standard 19" racks
• Intended environment: server rooms, network closets, AV racks

How to use

Install the PDU in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting hardware or compatible rack screws, occupying a single 1U space. Connect the PDU to the mains supply using an appropriate mains cable and ensure the incoming supply matches the voltage and current requirements of connected equipment. Plug devices into the Schuko outlets, making sure each connected device is properly grounded. Position cabling to avoid strain on sockets and to maintain airflow within the rack.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, distribute high-current devices across different outlets to avoid overloading a single feed. Verify that the rack's overall power budget accounts for the combined consumption of connected equipment. Ensure regular visual inspection of sockets and cabling for wear or damage, and follow local electrical codes for installation and grounding.
