Product Overview

AI-generated summary

This is a sensible “get power under control” PDU for a fairly straightforward rack setup. The main thing you’re paying for here isn’t fancy automation or monitoring—it’s reliability and a clean, professional outlet layout in 0U space. If you’ve got standard, non-intelligent gear that just needs consistent mains distribution, the mixed C13/C19 count is often exactly what most SMB/SME server and networking racks end up needing, and the 0U form factor is handy when you’re already out of rack height.

That said, at ~£706 ex‑VAT you should be sure you don’t need per-outlet visibility, remote management, alerts, or anything like load balancing. If you’re supporting anything mission-critical or you routinely troubleshoot power draws, a basic PDU can feel limiting—because you still end up relying on guesswork or separate measurement tools. I’d buy this if your priority is dependable distribution and cable management for “normal” IT loads in a single rack, not if you’re trying to build a more governed, metered power environment across multiple cabinets.
