## Long description

Rittal 7979.812 is a basic power distribution unit (PDU) designed for UK environments, providing twelve BS 1363 AC outlets on a single 230 V, 13 A feed. The unit combines an aluminium and plastic housing in a grey finish and includes a 3 m supply cable. Built for rack and cabinet use in server rooms, telecom closets and industrial racks, this PDU delivers straightforward, reliable mains distribution for IT and network equipment with a 3,000 W maximum load capacity.
Advantages
This PDU offers compact, high-density power distribution with twelve UK-style sockets arranged for easy access within cabinets and racks. Its aluminium/plastic housing balances durability and weight, and the 3 m cable provides flexibility for common rack power entry points. As a basic model, it focuses on low intrinsic power consumption and practical installation features such as a tool-free divider kit for compatible racks.
Suitable for
Powering servers and network switches in data centre racks
Distribution of mains power in telecom cabinets and patch enclosures
Powering laboratory or workshop equipment that uses BS 1363 plugs
Retrofit installations in free‑standing IT racks or wall‑mounted cabinets
When it may not be suitable
This basic PDU does not include advanced remote management, outlet-level switching, or metering functions. If you require SNMP monitoring, remote power cycling, or detailed energy measurement, a managed PDU model with those capabilities would be more appropriate. Also, it is intended for UK-style BS 1363 connectors only, so it is not suitable where other regional plug types are required.
Key specifications

Rated current: 13 A
Maximum power: up to 3,000 W
Number and type of outlets: 12 × BS 1363 (UK)

How to use
Mount the PDU in the rack or cabinet according to the enclosure manufacturer’s mounting points or the supplied mounting accessories. Ensure the unit is secured and that the 3 m supply cable is routed to a protected mains feed. Connect equipment using BS 1363 plugs, keeping the total connected load within the 13 A/3,000 W rating. Position cables to avoid blocking airflow or obstructing rack rails. For safety, switch off connected equipment before adding or removing plugs and verify mains connections comply with local electrical regulations.
What to consider before purchase
Required plug type: this unit supports BS 1363 (UK) outlets only
Total load of connected equipment must not exceed 13 A / 3,000 W
Need for remote management or metering — this is a basic, unmanaged PDU
Physical mounting compatibility with your rack or cabinet dimensions
Usage recommendations
Distribute high-draw devices across different outlets and, where possible, balance loads between rack PDUs. Use cable management to maintain airflow and avoid overloading individual sockets. For installations in critical environments, pair this basic PDU with separate monitoring equipment or choose a managed Rittal model if remote status and metering are required.
