Power Distribution Unit Bachmann 333.616 12 AC Outlets 1U Black Grey

The Bachmann 333.616 Power Distribution Unit is a compact 1U device designed to deliver organized AC power distribution in rack installations. It features twelve C13-type AC outlets arranged to support multiple devices from a single feed. The unit includes a 2 m power cable and is intended for use with a nominal input voltage of 230 V at 50 Hz, providing a straightforward solution for consolidating power connections in server racks, audio/video cabinets, or technical furniture.

Advantages

The 1U form factor saves rack space while providing a relatively high outlet count for dense equipment setups. C13 couplers are compatible with a wide range of IT and AV equipment, allowing flexible connection options. The fixed 2 m cable simplifies installation by reaching typical power sources in rack environments without additional extension cords. The two-tone finish in black and grey offers a neutral appearance that integrates with standard rack equipment.

Suitable for

• Server racks and network cabinets
• Audio/video and broadcasting racks
• Workstations and small data closets
• Technical furniture and equipment cabinets

How to use

Mount the PDU in a standard 19-inch rack occupying one rack unit (1U). Connect the fixed power cable to a suitable mains outlet or an upstream distribution source that provides 230 V at 50 Hz. Plug equipment power cords into the C13 outlets, taking care not to exceed the total current rating of the electrical circuit feeding the PDU. Arrange cables to maintain airflow and access to adjacent rack equipment.

Recommendations

Confirm the total power draw of connected devices and ensure the upstream mains circuit and any protective devices (breakers, fuses) are rated appropriately. Use C13-to-device cables that match the equipment inlet types and avoid daisy-chaining multiple PDUs or power strips on a single circuit to prevent overloads.
