PDU QOLTEC Q-53993 16A 1U rack-mounted power distribution unit 6×SCHUKO sockets, 2 m cable

PDU QOLTEC Q-53993 16A 1U rack-mounted power distribution unit 6×SCHUKO sockets, 2 m cable is a compact power distribution device designed for installation in 1U rack spaces. It accepts up to 16 A input and provides six SCHUKO outlets arranged on a single horizontal unit. The unit includes a fixed 2 m power cable for direct connection to a mains outlet and is intended for distribution of mains power inside server cabinets, network racks and IT enclosures.

Advantages

The 1U form factor allows installation in standard rack cabinets without occupying more than one rack unit, preserving space for other equipment. Six SCHUKO sockets provide multiple connection points for servers, switches and peripheral devices in a single location, simplifying cable management. A 2 m fixed cable ensures immediate usability without additional cabling, and the 16 A input rating is suitable for typical small to medium rack loads. The horizontal layout supports centralized power access across front or rear rack positions depending on mounting orientation.

Suitable for

• Small server racks and network cabinets in offices
• Telecommunication closets and edge data rooms
• IT workbenches and equipment shelves requiring consolidated mains outlets
• Temporary setups and maintenance carts where quick rack-mounted power is needed

Key specifications

• Form factor: 1U rack-mounted
• Input current rating: up to 16 A
• Number of outlets: 6 SCHUKO sockets
• Cable length: 2 m fixed power cable
• Mounting orientation: horizontal rack installation

How to use

Install the PDU into a free 1U rack space using standard rack screws or mounting hardware compatible with the cabinet. Route the fixed 2 m power cable to a suitable mains socket rated for the unit’s 16 A input. Connect IT equipment to the SCHUKO outlets, observing the total current draw to avoid exceeding the input rating. Position connected cables to minimize strain on the outlets and maintain clear airflow within the rack. For safety, ensure the rack and building power meet local electrical regulations and that earthing/grounding is correctly implemented.

Usage recommendations

Monitor cumulative load on the PDU to keep total current below 16 A, avoid using the unit in environments with excessive dust or moisture, and secure cables to reduce mechanical stress. For installations with higher power or remote monitoring needs, consider a PDU with integrated metering or switched outlets.
