OIT 3-Outlet Rackmount Basic Power Distribution Unit, 30A

OIT 3-Outlet Rackmount Basic Power Distribution Unit, 30A

In any professional environment where reliable power is not just a convenience but a critical necessity—such as data centers, server rooms, and industrial settings—the effective management and distribution of electricity are paramount. The OIT 3-Outlet Rackmount Basic Power Distribution Unit, 30A is engineered to meet these demanding requirements, offering a robust, safe, and intelligent solution for powering mission-critical equipment. This unit is more than a simple power strip; it is a foundational component of a well-organized and protected power infrastructure, designed for professionals who cannot afford downtime.

High-Capacity and Reliable Power Distribution

At the heart of this Basic Power Distribution Unit is its substantial power handling capability. With a rated current of 30A and a rated voltage of 250V, this PDU is built to energize multiple high-draw devices simultaneously without faltering. This high capacity makes it an ideal choice for dense rack environments packed with servers, network switches, storage arrays, and other vital IT hardware.

The unit connects to the power source via a heavy-duty power cord terminating in a blue, industrial-grade IEC 60309 plug. This type of “pin and sleeve” connector is globally recognized for its safety and reliability in high-current applications. Unlike standard domestic plugs, the IEC 60309 connector provides a more secure, locked connection, preventing accidental disconnections that could lead to catastrophic equipment shutdowns. The blue color coding specifically indicates its voltage and frequency rating, a key safety feature in complex industrial environments.

Power is delivered to your equipment through three IEC C13 outlets. The IEC C13 is the universal standard for a vast majority of IT equipment, ensuring seamless compatibility right out of the box. This allows for direct, secure connections to servers, routers, and other network devices, eliminating the need for cumbersome adapters and ensuring a clean, organized rack setup.

Intelligent Monitoring and Enhanced Safety

What sets the OIT Rackmount PDU apart is its integrated intelligent features that provide crucial oversight and protection. The unit is equipped with a clear, bright digital display that provides real-time metering of essential electrical parameters. The display prominently shows the voltage (V) and current (A) being drawn by the connected equipment. This at-a-glance monitoring is indispensable for data center managers and IT professionals. By tracking power consumption, administrators can effectively balance loads to prevent circuit overloads, plan for future capacity needs, and diagnose potential power issues before they escalate.

Safety is further enhanced by an integrated circuit breaker. This vital component continuously guards your expensive equipment against potentially damaging overcurrents and short circuits. In the event of an electrical fault, the breaker will automatically trip, cutting off the power flow and protecting your hardware from irreversible damage. The breaker is situated behind a transparent, flip-up cover, which thoughtfully prevents accidental tripping or tampering while still allowing for easy access when a reset is necessary.

Designed for Professional Environments

The physical design of this Basic Power Distribution Unit is tailored for seamless integration into professional rack systems. The specifications confirm its adherence to the standard 19-inch rack format with a 1U height (483mm x 44.5mm x 44.5mm). This standardized sizing allows it to be mounted horizontally in any EIA-standard server rack or cabinet, occupying minimal space while providing maximum utility.

Constructed with a durable metal chassis, this PDU is built to withstand the rigors of industrial and data center environments. The rugged housing not only ensures long-term durability but also assists in heat dissipation, contributing to the overall stability and longevity of the unit. Its specified operating temperature range of 0°C to 50°C confirms its reliability in the controlled, yet heat-intensive, conditions of a typical server room.

Versatile Applications

While perfectly suited for data centers, the robust nature and high power rating of this PDU make it a versatile solution for a wide range of applications, including:

• Industrial Power Transmission: Safely power machinery, control panels, and testing equipment on the factory floor.
• Telecommunications: Provide reliable, centralized power to network switches and communication devices in teleco closets.
• Audio/Video Production: Organize power distribution in AV racks for amplifiers, mixers, and other sound or recording equipment.
• Lab and Research Environments: Power sensitive electronic testing and measurement instruments with confidence.

Certified for Safety and Compliance

This OIT Power Distribution Unit comes with a suite of certifications that underscore its quality and safety.

• ETL Listed Mark: This indicates that the product has been tested by Intertek and complies with North American safety standards.
• CCC (China Compulsory Certification): This mark signifies compliance with Chinese safety standards, protecting consumer safety and national security.
• RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances): This EU directive certifies that the PDU is free from specific hazardous materials, making it more environmentally friendly and safer for handling.

These certifications, combined with a 1-year warranty, provide assurance that you are investing in a product that is not only effective but also safe, reliable, and compliant with international standards.
