Product Information
Full details
This Kenable 008669 power distributor is designed for users needing to power multiple devices from a single mains connection, such as in home offices or small server racks. Its key benefit is consolidating power input into four usable outlets, simplifying cable management. A crucial caveat is the 10-amp maximum load, which requires careful monitoring to avoid tripping the overload protection. This unit features a C13 input, four C14 outlets, an overload protection switch, and a blue LED power indicator.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum load this distributor can handle?
The distributor has a maximum load capacity of 10 Amps at 250 Volts. Exceeding this will trip the overload protection switch.
What type of input and output connectors does it have?
It features one C13 kettle lead input and four C14 power outlets.
Does it come with mounting screws?
No, mounting screws are not supplied with the unit. You will need 3mm or No. 4 screws if you intend to mount it.
Can I connect any type of power cable to the C14 outlets?
The C14 outlets are designed to accept standard C15, C16, and C17 appliance connectors. Most standard computer and peripheral power cables use these connectors.
What happens if I overload the distributor?
An overload protection switch is fitted. If the total current drawn by the connected devices exceeds 10 Amps, the switch will trip, cutting off power to protect your equipment.
How do I reset the overload protection switch?
Once the overload has been identified and reduced, simply press the overload protection switch firmly to reset it.
What are the dimensions of the unit?
The dimensions are approximately 17cm in length, 4cm in width, and 3cm in depth. The width increases to 5cm when the switch is included.
Troubleshooting
Unit not powering connected devices.
Check that the C13 input cable is securely plugged into the distributor and the power source. Verify the power source itself is active. Ensure the overload switch has not tripped.
Overload switch tripped.
Disconnect one or more devices to reduce the total load below 10 Amps. Reset the overload switch by pressing it firmly. Reconnect devices, ensuring the total current draw is within the limit.
LED indicator not lighting up.
Confirm the C13 input cable is correctly connected and the power source is active. The LED may indicate a fault with the unit itself if power is confirmed at the input.
