OEM PDU10 Series 8-Way UK Plug PDU Black

PDU10 UK 8-Outlet Black

The OEM 8-Way UK PDU routes mains power to eight BS1363 sockets from a single upstream connection. The black PDU10-W-8-B housing suits 19-inch racks where a low-profile strip colour matches surrounding hardware. UK plug format removes adapter requirements in British electrical environments. Eight outlets support a row of switches, UPS bypass loads, or mixed 1U appliances in one cabinet.

Install the unit on a horizontal PDU rail or vertical bracket behind active gear. Black finish reduces visual noise in front-facing glass-door racks viewed from the aisle. Each BS1363 socket accepts a standard UK fused plug top. Calculate aggregate load against the upstream breaker and cable rating before energising high-draw equipment.

Network teams deploy UK-format strips when all rack gear ships with BS1363 cords. Outlet spacing accommodates typical plug bodies without blocking adjacent ports. Tag each cord at the PDU end to speed tracing during outage response. Pair this strip with a monitored UPS output for controlled shutdown workflows.

Black housing integrates with dark rack frames common in broadcast and enterprise wiring closets. The finish hides scuff marks from repeated plug changes during hardware refresh cycles. Install at a height where technicians can read outlet labels without reaching over hot exhaust from active gear. Leave one spare outlet for temporary test equipment during fault diagnosis.

Size the upstream breaker for the sum of connected device draws plus margin for dual-PSU overlap on servers. Document measured load after commissioning with a clamp meter on the input cord. Avoid daisy-chaining multiple strips from one wall outlet without engineering review of total ampacity. Use separate vertical managers for power and signal cables to reduce EMI coupling on long copper runs.

PDU10 mounting hardware aligns with cage nuts on standard 19-inch rails without custom brackets. Verify rail depth allows plug bodies to clear the rear door when the cabinet uses a hinged back panel. Torque screws evenly so the strip remains parallel to the rack frame across all mounting points.

Eight-way density suits single-rack branch offices and classroom IDF closets without the length of a twelve-outlet strip. Procurement can stock one black UK SKU alongside C13 variants for mixed server and network cabinets. Consistent PDU10 labelling on invoices speeds receiving inspection at warehouse intake.
