OEM PDU10 Series 6-Way IEC C13 PDU Black

PDU10 6-Outlet C13 Unit

The OEM 6-Way C13 PDU distributes mains power to six IEC C13 outlets from a single input feed. The black metal chassis suits 19-inch rack installations where compact outlet density matters. Each C13 socket accepts standard IEC power cords used by servers, storage arrays, and managed switches. The PDU10 series layout keeps cable runs short inside shallow cabinets.

Install this unit horizontally in a rack PDU mounting position or vertically along a cabinet rail. The black finish matches common rack hardware and reduces visual clutter behind equipment. Six outlets support a small server stack, a patch panel switch pair, or a mixed load of 1U appliances. Plan total draw against the upstream breaker rating before deployment.

Rack integrators use C13 PDUs when equipment ships with detachable IEC cords rather than fixed plugs. The outlet spacing allows staggered cable entry without blocking adjacent ports on 1U devices. Label each cord at both ends to speed tracing during maintenance windows.

Facilities engineers map each C13 outlet to a named device on the rack elevation drawing. This practice shortens fault isolation when one host loses power while neighbours stay online. Route input and output cords through separate vertical managers to keep airflow paths clear behind 1U gear. Use reusable Velcro ties so technicians can add or remove cords without cutting bindings during hardware swaps.

When pairing the strip with a UPS, connect the input cord to a switched outlet group if controlled shutdown applies to attached servers. Unswitched UPS outputs keep the PDU energised during brief input transitions. Confirm the UPS VA rating covers the sum of connected nameplate draws plus headroom for storage spin-up current. Document the mapping between UPS outlet groups and PDU inputs in the site runbook.

Steel chassis construction withstands repeated plug insertion during refresh projects. Mounting ears align with standard cage nut spacing on square-hole and threaded rack rails. Torque mounting screws to firm contact without deforming rail flanges. Verify the strip sits level so plug bodies hang straight and do not stress cord bend radii at each inlet.

Procurement teams standardise on PDU10 naming to simplify stocking across branch offices and co-location suites. The six-outlet count suits remote cabinets hosting a firewall, a switch pair, and a local NAS unit. Larger racks may combine multiple PDU10 units at different heights to segregate network gear from compute loads. Consistent outlet spacing across the series reduces training time for field technicians.
