Power strip Bachmann STEP ALU 3x outlets, 1x switch, aluminium housing, 230V 16A, IP20

Bachmann STEP ALU is a compact indoor power strip with an aluminium profile housing, three protective-contact AC outlets and one integrated on/off switch. Designed for standard 230 V mains and a maximum current of 16 A (maximum power 3,680 W), the unit provides a durable and space-saving solution for desktop or under-desk power distribution. The IP20 protection rating makes it suitable for dry indoor environments such as offices, raised floors and partition systems. The device features rotated 35° sockets and Wieland GST18i3 connectors for simple linking and modular installation.

Advantages

The aluminium housing delivers mechanical stability and a slim 52 mm width that suits tight installation spaces. Integrated GST18i3 power connectors enable straightforward daisy-chaining and quick connection to compatible infeed modules. The illuminated switch controls only the sockets, while the compact length of approximately 270 mm allows mounting on T-slot profiles, stands or under tabletops. The product’s modular design supports flexible placement and expansion within office furniture and partition systems.

Recommendations

Use the Bachmann STEP ALU in dry, indoor environments only.

For installations in ESD-sensitive areas, use the appropriate ESD-capable mounting accessories. Do not expose the unit to moisture or outdoor conditions.
