FAQs
What type of sockets does this PDU use?
This PDU uses standard Type G UK sockets, compatible with UK mains plugs.
What is the maximum power capacity of this PDU?
The PDU has a maximum current rating of 13 amps. Ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed this limit.
Does this PDU have individual socket switching?
No, this PDU features a single main switch for all 12 outlets, not individual socket switching.
What does '1U' mean in relation to this PDU?
'1U' refers to a standard rack unit size, measuring approximately 1.75 inches (44.45 mm) in height. This PDU is designed to fit vertically within a 1U space in a rack cabinet.
Is surge protection included?
Yes, this PDU includes built-in surge protection to help safeguard connected electronic equipment from power surges and spikes.
What is the cable length?
The cable length is approximately 1.8 meters (or 1.75m according to specifications).
Can I use this PDU outdoors?
No, this PDU is designed for indoor use in controlled environments like server racks or utility spaces. It is not weatherproof.
Troubleshooting
PDU is not powering on.
Check that the power cable is securely plugged into a working mains outlet. Ensure the main switch on the PDU is in the 'on' position. Verify that the outlet itself has power.
Some or all sockets are not providing power.
Check the total current load. If it exceeds 13A, remove devices until the load is within limits. If the load is within limits, the surge protection may have tripped due to a power surge; reset the PDU if a reset button is present (not specified for this model, check for fuses). If the issue persists, contact support.
Connected equipment is not functioning correctly.
Ensure the equipment is properly plugged into the PDU socket. Verify the total power draw is within the PDU's 13A limit. Try plugging the equipment directly into a wall socket to rule out issues with the equipment itself.
