The Gembird EG-PDU-014-C14 is a 1U rack-mount Power Distribution Unit designed for organized power management in 19-inch server cabinets. Constructed with an aluminum housing and finished in black, this PDU provides eight AC outlets and connects using a C14 power inlet with a 3 m supply cable. With a rated maximum current of 16 A and maximum power capacity of 3,680 W, the unit fits standard 1U rack space (432 mm width, 44 mm height) and weighs approximately 0.8 kg, offering a compact and durable option for distributing mains power to multiple devices in a rack environment.

Advantages

The EG-PDU-014-C14 combines a slim 1U form factor with robust aluminum construction to offer reliable electrical distribution while minimizing occupied rack space. Its eight AC outlets allow connection of several servers, switches or other rack equipment without additional extension cords. The 3 m cable with a C14 plug simplifies placement flexibility inside racks, while the 16 A rating and 3,680 W capacity support a range of typical IT loads. The black finish and standardized width ensure visual and mechanical compatibility with most 19-inch rack installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Mount the unit in a standard 19-inch rack using the available 1U space and secure it with appropriate rack screws. Route the 3 m cable to a compatible mains outlet and connect via the C14 inlet. Plug required devices into the eight AC outlets, taking care to balance power draw across the outlets to remain within the 16 A and 3,680 W limits. Ensure that connected equipment and rack ventilation comply with manufacturer recommendations to avoid overheating. For safety, switch off connected equipment before making or changing connections when possible.

Recommendations

Do not exceed the rated 16 A and 3,680 W capacity; verify cumulative load of connected devices. Use the PDU in well-ventilated rack spaces and avoid placing heat-sensitive components directly adjacent to high-dissipation equipment. For installations requiring metering, remote switching, or surge protection, consider complementary devices since this unit provides basic power distribution without integrated metering or advanced protection features.
