## Long description

Rittal 7979.811 is a Basic power distribution unit (PDU) intended for 230 V single-phase systems. The unit provides eight BS 1363 (UK) AC outlets in a compact aluminium and plastic housing finished in grey, with a fixed 3 m supply cable and UK plug. Rated for up to 13 A and 3,000 W, this PDU is designed for distribution of mains power within racks, cabinets and small data centre installations where multiple UK-standard sockets are required.
Advantages
The Rittal PDU Basic model offers a space-efficient solution for delivering reliable mains power to IT equipment and control cabinets. Its aluminium and plastic construction balances durability with low weight, while the 3 m cable provides flexibility for positioning within racks and enclosures. With eight BS 1363 outlets it reduces the need for separate adapters or extension leads, helping to keep cabling organised in server and network environments.
Suitable for
Power distribution in free-standing server and network racks using UK-standard plugs
IT equipment such as servers, switches and storage devices requiring multiple outlets
Industrial control cabinets and small automation panels that use BS 1363 connectors
Edge and small data centre racks where compact, basic PDUs are preferred
When it may not be suitable
This Basic PDU does not include advanced management features such as remote monitoring, individual outlet switching, or energy metering. It is intended for straightforward power distribution and may not meet requirements where per-outlet control, networked monitoring or load balancing is needed.
If three-phase power distribution, higher current capacity, or country-specific outlet types other than BS 1363 are required, choose a different model or a managed PDU that matches those technical needs.
Key specifications
Number of outlets: 8 × BS 1363 (UK)
Input voltage: 230 V AC, single-phase
Maximum current: 13 A
Maximum power: 3,000 W
Cable length: 3 m (fixed supply cable with UK plug)
Housing material: aluminium and plastic
Colour: grey
How to use
Mount the PDU inside the rack or enclosure following the rack manufacturer’s recommendations and ensure the supply cable reaches a suitable 230 V BS 1363 wall outlet. Connect devices using their BS 1363 plugs, taking care not to exceed the maximum rated current of 13 A or the total power of 3,000 W. Arrange and secure connected cables to prevent strain on outlets and maintain airflow within the rack. For permanent installations, verify earthing and compliance with local electrical regulations before powering connected equipment.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure connected equipment total current draw does not exceed 13 A or 3,000 W
Confirm BS 1363 outlet compatibility for all devices (UK plugs)
Verify 3 m cable length and outlet location meet your rack or cabinet layout
Decide if advanced features (remote monitoring, switched outlets) are required — this Basic model does not include them
Usage recommendations
Use the PDU to centralise power for rack-mounted equipment, maintain cable routing to prevent obstruction of ventilation, and periodically inspect connections for tightness. For critical loads, distribute devices across separate PDUs or circuits to avoid single-point overloads and consult a qualified electrician for installation into permanent infrastructure.
