Product Information

Full details

This Excel Desktop Power Distribution Unit (PDU) in Silver is ideal for any workspace needing flexible power access, particularly for resident or casual users. Its key benefit is the convenient addition of power outlets directly to the desktop. A minor consideration is that the power cord is sold separately, requiring you to select the appropriate length. This PDU features a stylish anodised aluminium casing, easy desktop fitting with supplied clamps, two 6c apertures for expanding power options, and an illuminated master power switch for clear status indication.

FAQs

What is the maximum desk thickness this PDU can accommodate?

The exact maximum thickness depends on the specific design of the supplied clamps. Please refer to the clamp's specifications or test fit to ensure a secure attachment.

What type of power cord do I need?

You will need a power cord with a connector compatible with the PDU's input (typically a C13 connector) and a standard mains plug for your region. These are sold separately and available in various lengths.

Can this PDU be mounted permanently?

No, this PDU is designed for desktop mounting using clamps and is not intended for permanent installation.

How many devices can be plugged into the PDU at once?

The PDU has 2 x 6c apertures, meaning you can plug up to two multi-way adapters into it, which can then power multiple devices. However, always ensure the total power draw does not exceed the PDU's capacity or the circuit's limit.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Warranty information is typically provided by the retailer at the point of sale or can be found in the product manual. Please check your purchase documentation.

Is the aluminium casing prone to scratching?

The anodised finish provides good durability, but like most metallic surfaces, it can be susceptible to deep scratches if subjected to significant abrasion. Gentle cleaning and careful use are recommended.

Troubleshooting

Unit does not power on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into both the PDU and the wall socket. Check if the illuminated master switch is in the 'on' position. Verify the wall socket is functional.

Connected devices are not receiving power

Check that the master power switch is illuminated and in the 'on' position. Ensure each device's plug is fully inserted into the PDU aperture. Test the PDU with a different set of known working devices.

Clamps are not securing the unit properly

Confirm the desk edge thickness is within the range supported by the clamps. Ensure the clamps are correctly aligned and tightened sufficiently. Clean any debris from the clamp contact points and the desk edge.

Illuminated switch is not lighting up

While the unit may still function, an unlit switch might indicate an internal issue. Ensure the power cord is correctly connected and the master switch is engaged. If the issue persists, contact support.
