6 Way UK Sockets Horizontal PDU with IEC C14 Cable - Black

A PDU (Power Distribution Unit) is a device designed to distribute electric power, commonly used in server racks to provide multiple outlets for IT equipment. It helps organize power, reduce cable clutter, and manage power for multiple devices efficiently from a single source.

An IEC C14 connector is a standard type of power inlet connector commonly found on computers, servers, network equipment, and professional audio-visual gear. It's designed to mate with an IEC C13 receptacle, which is a standard power cord type.

Yes, you can connect any device that uses a standard UK Type G plug. However, you must ensure that the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the PDU's maximum rating of 10 Amps or 2500 Watts.

This specific model does not feature individual surge protection for each socket. It provides basic power distribution. If surge protection is required for your devices, consider connecting the PDU to a UPS unit or a surge-protected power strip that supplies the IEC C14 connection.

The PDU is designed for horizontal mounting in a standard 19-inch rack. Use the included fixing screws, cage nuts, and washers to attach it securely to the rack rails. It typically occupies 1U of vertical space.

This Lindy PDU comes with a 2-year warranty.

The switch has a protective cover that can be placed over it to prevent accidental switching off. While it doesn't have a dedicated locking mechanism, the cover provides a degree of security against unintentional power interruptions.

Check that the IEC C14 power cable is securely connected to both the PDU and the power source. Verify the power source itself is active and functioning. Ensure the integral On/Off switch is in the 'On' position.

Confirm the PDU is powered on (LED indicator lit). Check that the devices are properly plugged into the PDU sockets. Ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the PDU's 10A (2500W) limit. Try plugging a single device into the PDU to test.

Check for loose connections at the PDU sockets or at the main power source. If the total load is close to the 10A limit, try removing one or more devices to reduce the overall draw. Inspect the PDU's power cable for damage.

If the cover is loose, try to re-seat it. If it is damaged, the PDU can still be operated by carefully using the rocker switch itself, but consider replacing the PDU for safety if the switch functionality is compromised.
