Rack PDUs

Rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs) provide reliable power distribution for servers, switches, networking equipment and critical IT infrastructure. At Telenco UK, we supply rack PDUs for data centres, server rooms, telecommunications facilities and network cabinets, with configurations to suit different power, monitoring and installation requirements.

Vertical, Horizontal & Intelligent Rack PDUs

Choose from horizontal 19-inch rack PDUs for standard rack mounting or vertical 0U PDUs that maximise available equipment space. Options include basic power distribution, metered PDUs for monitoring electrical loads, intelligent PDUs for enhanced visibility and switched PDUs for remote outlet control.

Power Ratings & Outlet Configurations

Our rack power distribution range includes configurations with IEC C13 and C19 outlets, supporting compatible IT and networking equipment. Depending on the model, options include 16A, 32A, single-phase and three-phase PDUs, allowing installers to match power distribution to the electrical supply and equipment requirements.

How to Choose the Right Rack PDU

When selecting a rack PDU, consider the number and type of outlets, input connection, current rating, mounting orientation and monitoring requirements. Vertical PDUs are ideal for higher-density racks, while horizontal models suit smaller installations. Intelligent and switched PDUs offer additional management capabilities for critical infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a metered and switched PDU?

A metered PDU measures electrical consumption, while a switched PDU allows individual outlets to be controlled remotely on supported models. Some intelligent PDUs combine both functions.

What is a 0U rack PDU?

A 0U PDU mounts vertically within a compatible rack, distributing power without occupying horizontal rack unit space.

Should I choose a single-phase or three-phase PDU?

Single-phase PDUs suit many standard rack installations, while three-phase PDUs can support higher power demands. Selection depends on the available electrical supply, total equipment load and installation requirements.
