DIGITUS DN-95401 1 U aluminium PDU content_copy

The DIGITUS DN-95401 is a 1U power strip made of aluminium, specifically designed for use in server and network racks. As a PDU (Power Distribution Unit), it enables safe and efficient distribution of electrical power to multiple devices within a rack. The unit features eight Schuko sockets arranged at a 35° angle to ensure optimal access and improved airflow within the rack. The sockets are rated for an operating voltage of 250 VAC at 50/60 Hz and support a current of up to 16 A, corresponding to a maximum power of 4000 W. The aluminium construction ensures good heat dissipation and robust protection against mechanical stress.

Applications
This power strip is intended for use in professional IT and server environments, particularly in data centres, network server rooms, or during the installation of rack systems. The 1U form factor allows for compact mounting in standard 19-inch racks. Due to its high power capacity and robust design, the device is also suitable for applications with high energy demands, such as powering network switches, firewalls, storage systems, or other rack-mounted IT components.

Functions and Features in Detail
The PDU includes eight Schuko sockets, each rated for a maximum current of 16 A. The sockets are rotated 35° to the right to improve accessibility and save space within the rack. Power supply is provided via a 2 m long power cable designated H05VV-F 3G1.5 mm², equipped with a right-angle Schuko plug. This plug features double earthing, ensuring a secure and reliable grounding connection. The aluminium profiles provide a stable structure and support cooling of connected devices.

Technology Explained Simply
The power strip is designed as a rack-mount device and can be directly installed into a 19-inch rack. Installation is performed using two included metal brackets attached to the sides of the unit. The aluminium construction offers high mechanical protection and simultaneously ensures efficient heat dissipation, which is especially important under continuous load. Power supply is via a flexible cable with a cross-section of 1.5 mm², designed for safe energy transmission. The double earthing on the Schuko plug enhances operational safety, particularly when used in environments with increased risk of electrical interference.

Compatibility and Accessories
The power strip is designed for use in standard 19-inch racks and can be supplemented with compatible mounting accessories. A suitable accessory is a mounting kit for 25,4 cm ( 10 inch )/48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) components with M6 screws (50 pieces, black), which can facilitate installation. Compatibility with other rack systems is ensured as long as the mounting dimensions and 1U form factor match. The sockets are designed for use with devices requiring a voltage of 250 VAC and a current up to 16 A.

Installation and Mounting
Mounting is performed using the two included metal brackets attached to the sides of the unit. These brackets allow for secure fastening within the rack. Installation requires no additional tools beyond a screwdriver to secure the brackets. The power cable with the right-angle Schuko plug can be directly plugged into a wall socket or a power distributor. The angled sockets facilitate cable connection and prevent cable tangling within the rack.

Operational Advantages
The DIGITUS DN-95401 provides reliable power supply for multiple devices within a rack. The aluminium construction ensures high stability and heat dissipation, which can extend the lifespan of connected devices. The angled sockets improve accessibility and reduce cable clutter. The double earthing on the plug enhances operational safety. The 2 m cable length allows flexible positioning within the rack without requiring additional extensions. The PDU is designed for continuous use in professional environments and offers high reliability under heavy loads.
