The DIGITUS power strip DN-95429 is a professional power distribution unit for use in network and server racks. It serves as a PDU (Power Distribution Unit) and enables safe and reliable power supply for multiple devices from a central connection. The device is designed in a compact 1 U form factor, with a total height of 482.6 mm (19 inch), making it ideal for installation in standard 19-inch racks. The aluminium profile ensures a robust yet lightweight construction, meeting the requirements of IT and laboratory environments.
Applications
This power strip is specifically designed for use in IT infrastructures, network technology, and laboratory environments. It is frequently used as additional power distribution for an UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to connect multiple devices via a central input. The compact design and 19-inch compatibility allow flexible integration into existing rack configurations without requiring additional space.
Functions and Features in Detail
The device features an IEC 60320 C14 input plug, enabling connection to an UPS or mains power supply. On the front panel, nine output sockets of type IEC 60320 C13 are arranged, suitable for powering IT devices, network switches, servers, or other consumers. The sockets are arranged to ensure easy access and optimal space management. An integrated 10 A input fuse protects the power strip and connected devices against overloads and power surges.
Technology Explained Simply
Power supply is provided at 230 VAC with a frequency of 50/60 Hz, complying with European electrical supply standards. The maximum current is 10 A, sufficient to power several medium-sized IT devices simultaneously. The fuse in the input section ensures that in case of overload or short circuit, the current flow is interrupted to prevent damage to the PDU or connected devices. The aluminium profile not only provides mechanical stability but also supports heat dissipation, which can extend the device’s lifespan.
Compatibility and Accessories
The power strip is designed for use with devices equipped with an IEC C13 plug, such as network switches, routers, servers, or monitors. The IEC C14 input allows connection to UPS units or other power sources supporting this plug type. Installation is carried out using two included mounting brackets, ensuring secure and stable installation in the rack. The delivery includes the power strip, two mounting brackets, and safety instructions.
Installation and Mounting
Mounting is performed using the included mounting brackets, which are attached to the side mounting surfaces of the power strip. These are then inserted into the mounting holes of the 19-inch rack and secured with screws. Installation is simple and requires no additional tools or components. The front panel of the PDU remains fully accessible, allowing easy operation of the sockets.
Operational Advantages
The DIGITUS power strip offers reliable power distribution in IT environments. The combination of compact design, robust aluminium profile, and integrated fuse ensures long service life and safe operation. The clear arrangement of sockets simplifies management of connected devices, and compatibility with standard 19-inch racks enables flexible integration into existing systems. Use as additional distribution for an UPS enhances efficiency and reliability of power supply in critical applications.
