50A 6-Outlet C19 Basic Power Distribution Unit

Reliable High-Current Power for Critical Environments: The 50A 6-Outlet C19 Basic Power Distribution Unit

In the world of high-density computing, industrial automation, and mission-critical IT infrastructure, the need for reliable and robust power distribution is paramount. Every connection, every component, and every watt of power contributes to the seamless operation of vital systems. This is where the 50A 6-Outlet C19 Basic Power Distribution Unit excels, offering a straightforward, powerful, and exceptionally dependable solution for managing high-current power within server racks, data cabinets, and industrial enclosures. Designed for environments that demand uncompromising performance, this PDU delivers substantial power capacity with the simplicity and reliability that critical applications require.

The Power of Simplicity: What is a Basic Power Distribution Unit?

In a market filled with complex and feature-heavy power solutions, the Basic Power Distribution Unit stands out for its elegant simplicity and unwavering focus on its core mission: to reliably deliver power from a single source to multiple devices. Unlike metered or switched PDUs that add layers of network management and remote control, a basic PDU provides a direct, unmanaged power path. This design philosophy carries a significant advantage—unmatched reliability. By eliminating complex internal electronics and network interfaces, the number of potential failure points is drastically reduced, ensuring that your connected equipment receives continuous, stable power. For applications where uptime is non-negotiable, this “back-to-basics” approach isn’t a limitation; it’s a feature that guarantees performance and peace of mind.

Engineered for High-Demand Applications

This PDU is built to handle the most power-hungry equipment with ease. Its key electrical specifications are a testament to its robust capabilities:

• High Amperage Rating: With a rated current of 50A, this unit is designed for high-load applications, far exceeding the capacity of standard office or consumer-grade power strips.
• Elevated Voltage Capacity: Operating at a rated voltage of 240V, it is perfectly suited for powering enterprise-level servers, large network switches, and storage arrays that require higher voltage for greater efficiency and power density.
• Substantial Power Capacity: The combination of 50A and 240V provides a total power capacity of 12,000VA (12kVA). This allows a single PDU to support multiple high-performance devices, simplifying rack power management and reducing the number of required circuits.

The unit features six C19 outlets, which are the industry standard for connecting high-power servers and networking gear. The IEC 60320 C19 connector is specifically designed for higher currents than the more common C13 connector, ensuring a secure and safe connection for equipment that draws significant power.

Robust Physical Construction for Demanding Environments

Power distribution units in data centers and industrial settings must be able to withstand the rigors of these environments. This Basic Power Distribution Unit is constructed from high-quality, durable metal, providing a rugged chassis that protects the internal components from physical impact and ensures long-term durability. The sleek black finish is not only aesthetically pleasing but also standard for seamless integration with other rack-mounted equipment.

Designed for maximum installation flexibility, the unit features integrated mounting brackets, making it easy to install in standard 19-inch server racks and cabinets. Its form factor allows for vertical (0U) mounting, which saves valuable rack space for servers and switches, or horizontal (1U/2U) mounting, depending on the specific rack configuration and user preference. The chassis also incorporates ventilation perforations to facilitate passive airflow, helping to dissipate heat and maintain an optimal internal temperature, further contributing to the unit’s longevity and reliable performance within its specified operating range of 0°C to 50°C.

Versatility Across Multiple Industries

While this PDU is a natural fit for data centers, its robust design and high power capacity make it an ideal solution for a wide range of applications:

• Data Centers and Server Cabinets: Its primary application is distributing power to racks of servers, storage arrays, and network switches, enabling high-density deployments.
• Industrial Automation: In factories and industrial settings, it can be used to power control panels, manufacturing equipment, and processing systems that require reliable 240V power.
• Telecommunications: It is suitable for powering equipment in network closets and communication hubs.
• Testing and Development Labs: Provides a dependable power source for testing benches and research equipment that have high power requirements.

Global Safety and Compliance

To ensure its suitability for deployment in global markets, this PDU is backed by a comprehensive suite of safety and environmental certifications:

• CE: Meets the health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area.
• RoHS: Complies with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive, ensuring it is free from harmful materials like lead and mercury.
• SAA: Certified to meet the safety standards required for the Australian market.
• ETL: Recognized by Intertek as meeting North American safety standards, serving as an equivalent to the UL mark.

This array of certifications, combined with a 1-year warranty, demonstrates a commitment to quality, safety, and reliability, allowing for confident deployment in any professional environment.

Customization for Your Unique Needs

Understanding that every project has unique requirements, this Basic Power Distribution Unit is available with OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) options. This allows clients to request customizations in size, color, and branding to perfectly match their infrastructure or brand identity. This flexibility makes it an excellent choice for system integrators, value-added resellers, and large-scale enterprise deployments that require a tailored power solution.
