Power Distribution Units (PDUs)

A rack PDU is where every other device in the cabinet gets its power, so its gang count and outlet type decide what will physically fit before anything is switched on.

The range covers 19-inch 1U rackmount units in 6, 8 and 10 gang, in UK 13A and IEC C13 outlets, rated to 10A, with surge-protected versions for equipment that cannot take a spike. Adastra and All-Rack lead the rackmount range, with Knightsbridge, Mercury and Haydon supplying distribution, cables and resettable circuit protection alongside. Gang count, outlet type, rating and height are stated on every product page.

PDUs are specified with the equipment they feed — see Network Video Recorders for rack-mounted recorders and CCTV Accessories for boxed supplies with battery backup.
