Reliable Power Supply for Rack Cabinets
In this category, you will find power distribution units and power supplies that fit the 19″ standard, specifically designed for rack cabinets, server racks, and network cabinets. With their help, the power supply of the entire IT infrastructure can be organized and secured.
Among the various models, you can find 1U high power distribution units equipped with switches and multiple European sockets – for example, the Extralink EXPDU7EU SW with 7 sockets and a 2 m cable – which are ideal for powering servers, switches, routers, and other rack-mounted devices.

The Role of Rack-Mountable Power Distribution Units in IT Infrastructure
Rack-mountable power distribution units and power supplies are crucial for the stable operation of every server, network device, and active component. These devices provide organized, easily understandable power distribution in a single, standard 19″ rail-mounted unit, contributing to safe and transparent cabling.
Their use is typically common in server rooms, office network cabinets, telecommunications racks, and smaller IT centers. A well-chosen PDU not only meets the needs of the installed equipment in terms of the number of sockets but also in their placement and the presence of a switch.
Important Considerations When Choosing a Rack Power Supply
When purchasing, one of the most important parameters is the device's total load capacity and the number of sockets. In a rack cabinet serving multiple servers, switches, and other active devices, it is particularly essential that the power distribution unit's rated current and power load match the total power consumption of the connected devices.
- Number and Type of Sockets: The number of European (Schuko) sockets determines how many devices can be connected directly. For example, 7-socket solutions are ideal for smaller rack cabinets.
- Height and Mounting: 1U high models take up little space and can be mounted on a standard 19″ rail, making them perfectly fit into the existing server rack.
- Cable Length: A 2 m power cable, as seen in the Extralink EXPDU7EU SW, provides flexibility in reaching wall sockets and positioning the cabinet.
- Presence of a Switch: Models with a main switch provide simple, quick power disconnection for maintenance or in case of a fault.
Safety, Reliability, Transparent Cabling
High-quality power distribution units that fit into rack cabinets help avoid problems arising from overload, contact faults, and messy cabling. Well-designed power distribution not only guarantees stable operation but also significantly simplifies troubleshooting and expansions.
Whether it's a smaller office rack cabinet or a complex server center, choosing the right power supply is the foundation of the IT system's reliability. The solutions available in this category are specifically designed for this purpose, ensuring stable and secure operation in the long term.
