Power Distribution Unit LOGILINK PDU9F03 — 19" rack, 9 sockets (French/Belgian), no switch, black

LOGILINK PDU9F03 is a 19" rack-mount power distribution unit designed to provide nine French/Belgian style sockets in a compact, black metal housing. With no master switch, this PDU offers straightforward, always-available power outlets for equipment in server racks, network cabinets, and AV installations where multiple local sockets of the F/B type are required. The unit fits standard 19" mounting rails and delivers basic power distribution without integrated surge protection or remote management features.

Advantages

The PDU9F03 supplies nine region-specific sockets in a single rack-mountable unit, conserving space while keeping cabling organized. The absence of a master switch reduces potential points of failure and guarantees continuous power to connected devices. Its black finish and standard 19" form factor allow easy integration into existing server or network racks and improve the neatness of power distribution within the cabinet.

Suitable for

• Small to medium server racks requiring multiple French/Belgian outlets
• Network cabinets and patch panels in F/B socket regions
• Audio/visual racks and broadcast equipment installations
• Laboratory benches or test racks that need consolidated AC outlets

When it may not be suitable

This PDU does not include a master on/off switch, so it is not suitable when remote or centralized power control is required. It also lacks built-in surge protection, power metering, and network management, making it less appropriate for environments that require power monitoring, outlet-level control, or enhanced surge suppression.

Key specifications

• Form factor: 19" rack-mount
• Number of sockets: 9
• Socket type: French/Belgian (F/B) regional outlets
• Color: black
• Switch: none (no master switch)
• Intended use: indoor, rack or cabinet installation

How to use

Install the PDU9F03 into standard 19" rack rails using appropriate mounting hardware and secure all connections before powering connected devices. Route equipment power cords to the nine sockets, ensuring cable strain relief and clearance for airflow. Because the unit has no master switch or surge protection, connect it to a correctly rated upstream power source and consider using external surge suppression or an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) where required.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify compatibility of socket type with local plugs (French/Belgian F/B)
• Confirm rack depth and available mounting positions for a 19" device
• Decide if integrated switching, metering, or surge protection is needed
• Assess power capacity and upstream circuit protection requirements

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, mount the PDU in a ventilated rack area, distribute high-current devices across different circuits if possible, and pair the PDU with appropriate upstream protection such as an RCD, circuit breaker, or UPS depending on your installation's criticality.
