FAQs
What is a PDU?
A PDU stands for Power Distribution Unit. It's essentially a power strip designed to distribute power to multiple devices, often within a rack or cabinet environment.
What is the maximum load for this PDU?
This PDU is rated for 13 amps, which is the standard for UK sockets. Ensure the total power consumption of your connected devices does not exceed this limit.
Can I switch each socket individually?
No, this model features a single main power switch with a protective cover that controls all 6 sockets simultaneously. It does not have individual switches per socket.
What does the '1U' designation mean?
'1U' refers to Rack Unit, a standard measurement for the height of equipment designed to fit in a 19-inch rack. 1U is approximately 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) in height.
Is the power lead detachable?
No, the 5-meter power lead is permanently attached to the PDU.
Does this PDU have surge protection?
This product description does not specify surge protection capabilities. It is a basic power distribution unit.
What is the purpose of the earth stud?
The earth stud provides a dedicated connection point for grounding your equipment, which is crucial for safety and protecting sensitive electronics from electrical faults or static discharge.
Troubleshooting
PDU not powering connected devices
Check that the main power switch is in the 'ON' position. Ensure the PDU's 5m power lead is securely plugged into a live power outlet. Verify the power outlet itself is functional by testing with another device.
Some sockets not working
Inspect the individual plugs of the connected devices to ensure they are fully inserted into the PDU sockets. If multiple sockets are affected, it may indicate an internal issue; contact support.
Overheating or unusual noise
Immediately switch off the PDU and unplug it from the power source. Check that the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the 13A rating. Remove any obstructions and allow the unit to cool before attempting to use it again. If the problem persists, discontinue use and contact support.
