Power Extension Rittal DK 7240.200 2m 12 AC Outlets Indoor

The Rittal DK 7240.200 is a 2-meter indoor power extension featuring 12 AC outlets (C13 coupler), designed for installation in equipment racks, server rooms and office enclosures. It supports a maximum current of 16 A and operates at 250 V. The unit's compact dimensions — 482.6 mm width and 44 mm depth and height — and lightweight construction (approx. 860 g) make it straightforward to mount and integrate into existing electrical distributions where multiple C13 connections are required.

Advantages

The device provides a high outlet density with twelve AC outlets in a slim profile, helping to maximize available rack space. Its 2 m flexible supply cable allows positioning in enclosures where power sources are not directly adjacent. Built for indoor environments, the extension offers consistent 250 V operation and a 16 A current rating suitable for many IT and office devices. The compact form factor and low weight simplify installation and handling during setup or maintenance.

Suitable for

• Server racks and network cabinets requiring multiple C13 power connections
• Office workstations and desktop clusters with several peripherals
• Telecommunications equipment and small data centres with limited space
• Laboratory benches and testing setups with multiple powered instruments

How to use

Mount the power extension in the desired position within a rack or enclosure, ensuring the unit is secured according to the mounting points available in the installation area. Connect the supply cable to a suitable 250 V mains outlet rated for up to 16 A. Plug devices into the C13 outlets, observing the total current draw across all outlets to avoid exceeding the 16 A rating. Ensure cables are routed to avoid strain and to maintain airflow in equipment racks.

Recommendations

Verify the combined power consumption of connected equipment and avoid overloading the extension. Use the unit only in dry indoor environments and follow local electrical codes. For critical systems, consider redundant power sources and appropriate monitoring to ensure continuous operation.
