FAQs
What is the maximum total power this PDU can supply?
The PDU has a maximum current rating of 10 Amps, which equates to a maximum power output of 2500 Watts at 250V.
Can I connect high-power devices like large servers?
While it can power servers, you must ensure the total current draw from all connected devices does not exceed the 10A limit. High-power servers may require a PDU with a higher amperage rating or dedicated circuits.
Does this PDU have surge protection?
The product description indicates integrated surge protection is included.
How is the PDU mounted in a rack?
It is designed for horizontal mounting in a standard 19-inch equipment rack and includes fixing screws and cage nuts.
What type of power plug does it have?
The PDU has an IEC C14 male plug for connecting to the main power source.
Is there an individual switch for each socket?
No, this model features a single integral on/off rocker switch that controls all 12 sockets simultaneously.
What is the warranty period?
The product comes with a 2-year warranty.
Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices
Check that the PDU's IEC C14 plug is securely connected to the power source. Verify that the PDU's on/off switch is in the 'on' position. Ensure the power source outlet is functional by testing with another device.
PDU is not turning on (no indicator light)
Confirm the power source is active. Check the main power connection to the PDU. If the issue persists, there might be an internal fault.
Overload or circuit breaker trips
Reduce the number of devices connected or disconnect high-power devices. Ensure the total load does not exceed the 10A (2500W) limit. Distribute the load across multiple PDUs if necessary.
Loose socket connection
Gently test the connection of the IEC C13 cable within the socket. If it feels loose, try a different socket. Ensure the cable is fully inserted.
