Power Extension Rittal DK 7856.070

The Rittal DK 7856.070 is a compact power extension designed to distribute mains power to multiple devices. Featuring six AC C13 couplers in a slim 250 mm-wide housing and weighing approximately 340 g, this unit provides a space-saving solution for mounting inside equipment racks, cabinets or on workstations where reliable, repeatable power distribution is required.

Advantages

The unit offers six C13 AC outlets that accommodate standard IEC C13 plugs, enabling simultaneous connection of several devices from a single incoming feed. Its small footprint and low weight simplify installation in tight spaces and reduce strain on mounting points. The fixed-outlet layout and durable construction support frequent connection cycles and provide predictable power routing for commercial and industrial environments.

Suitable for

• Powering multiple IT devices in rack or cabinet installations
• Distributing mains power to workstations and test benches
• Supplementing power distribution inside industrial control cabinets
• Temporary power extension in repair and maintenance areas

Key specifications

• Number of AC outlets: 6 C13 couplers
• Outlet type: IEC C13
• Width: 250 mm
• Weight: approximately 340 g

How to use

Install the power extension in a suitable location within the equipment rack, cabinet or workstation, following local electrical codes. Connect the incoming mains power lead to the power extension according to the installation requirements and then plug devices into the six C13 outlets. Ensure that the combined current draw of connected devices does not exceed the rating of the incoming supply and any upstream protective devices. Route cables to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on the couplers.

Recommendations

Use the unit indoors in dry, ventilated environments and keep it accessible for inspection. Verify compatibility of device plugs with IEC C13 outlets and recommend grouping high-current devices on separate circuits to avoid overloading. If permanent installation inside a cabinet is intended, follow applicable grounding and protection practices and consult an electrician for fixed wiring.
