Product Information

Full details

The Kenable Power PDU - Silver is designed for professionals and students who need a tidy and efficient way to power and charge multiple devices at their workspace. Its key benefit is consolidating power outlets, USB charging, and an Ethernet port into a single, desk-mounted unit, reducing clutter. A potential caveat is its fixed 1.8m cable length, which may limit placement options in larger setups. This device offers 2 UK mains sockets, 2 USB ports for charging digital devices, and an RJ45 Cat 6 Ethernet socket, all within a compact, aesthetically pleasing brushed aluminum casing.

FAQs

Can the USB ports be used for data transfer?

No, the two USB ports on this PDU are designed for charging purposes only (5V, 2.1A) and do not support data transfer.

What is the maximum current the PDU can handle?

The PDU is rated for a maximum current of 13 Amps, as indicated by the 13 Amp UK plug.

How thick can the desk be for the clamp to attach?

The exact maximum desk thickness is not specified, but the adjustable clamps are designed to fit most standard desk and bench thicknesses. It's recommended to ensure a secure grip without over-tightening.

Is the Ethernet port a pass-through or does it require a separate connection?

The RJ45 socket is an integrated port for direct network connection. You plug your network cable into this socket to connect your device to the network.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Product warranty information is typically provided by the retailer. Please check with your point of purchase for specific warranty details.

Can I use this PDU with different types of plugs (e.g., EU plugs)?

No, this PDU is designed with UK standard Type G outlets and a UK plug, making it suitable only for use within the United Kingdom and countries that use the same plug standard.

What is the total power output of the USB ports?

The PDU features two USB ports, each rated at 5 Volts and 2.1 Amps. The total power output is dependent on the device(s) connected and their charging requirements.

Troubleshooting

No power to the UK sockets or USB ports.

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working mains socket. Check if the mains socket itself is functioning by testing another appliance. Verify that the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the PDU's maximum current rating (13A).

USB devices not charging or charging slowly.

Confirm that the device is connected to one of the USB ports and not the RJ45 socket. Ensure the USB device does not require more than 2.1A per port. Try a different USB cable or device to rule out cable or device issues. The USB ports are for charging only and do not support data transfer.

No internet connection via the RJ45 port.

Verify that the Ethernet cable is securely plugged into both the PDU and your router or network switch. Ensure the network cable is not damaged. Test the network connection by plugging your device directly into the router/switch without the PDU. Check your router settings if necessary.

The desk clamp is loose or unstable.

Readjust the clamp mechanism and ensure it is properly tightened onto the desk surface. Check for any debris on the clamp or desk surface that might prevent a secure grip. If the clamp appears damaged, contact support.
