This PDU is designed for users needing to distribute power to multiple devices in industrial or rack-mounted environments. Its key benefit is providing 12 C13 IEC outlets with a robust 32A Commando plug for high-power applications up to 8000W. A potential caveat is the need for a compatible 32A Commando power source, which is not standard in all settings. Key features include 12 C13 sockets, a 32A 3 Pin IP44 Commando plug, a 3-meter cable, and a 19-inch rack-mountable profile.

A C13 socket is a standard IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) connector used for AC power cords on many electronic devices, including computers, monitors, and servers. The corresponding plug is a C14.
A 32A Commando plug is an industrial-grade, rugged connector designed for high-amperage power connections, commonly found in industrial settings, workshops, and for powering heavy-duty equipment.
No, this PDU requires a specific 32A 3 Pin IP44 Commando socket. It will not fit into a standard UK 13A wall socket.
The PDU has a maximum load capacity of 8000W, which corresponds to 32A at 250v.
The product description does not specify surge protection. It is a power distribution unit designed for power delivery, not surge suppression.
The PDU has a standard 19-inch rack-mountable profile. You can use the integrated mounting brackets or compatible rack screws (often sold separately) to secure it to the vertical rails of a 19-inch data or comms cabinet.
The IP44 rating indicates that the plug is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction.
Verify that the 32A Commando plug is securely inserted into a live socket. Check the circuit breaker or fuse for the Commando outlet. Ensure the total load does not exceed the 8000W (32A) limit.
Check the individual connections for the non-working outlets. If multiple outlets within a specific section fail, there may be an internal fault; contact support.
A slight warmth under heavy load is normal. However, if the PDU is excessively hot to the touch, reduce the connected load and ensure adequate ventilation. Overloading can damage the unit.
Setup: To set up the PDU, first ensure you have a compatible 32A 3 Pin IP44 Commando socket available. Mount the PDU horizontally into a standard 19-inch rack using the provided mounting points or within a flight case. Connect the 32A Commando plug to the power source. Once the PDU is securely connected, plug your C13-terminated equipment into the available IEC sockets.
Compatibility: This PDU is compatible with any equipment featuring a C14 power input connector, which is standard for most IT and AV devices. It requires a power source with a 32A, 3-pin Commando outlet.
Care: Keep the PDU clean by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Ensure that the ventilation around the PDU and connected equipment is not obstructed. Periodically check the cable and plug for any signs of wear or damage.
