What Is a Power Distribution Unit?
A Power Distribution Unit, commonly called a PDU, distributes electrical power from one input connection to multiple output sockets.
PDUs are commonly used in server racks, network cabinets, equipment rooms and data centres. They help organise power connections for compatible devices.
However, a basic PDU does not generate backup power. For battery backup, the installation needs a suitable UPS system.
Types of Power Distribution Units
6 Way Power Distribution Units
A 6-way PDU provides six power outlets for compatible electrical equipment. It may suit smaller network cabinets and equipment installations.
Supreme Networks lists 6-way PDUs with C13 and UK socket configurations.
Choose the outlet arrangement that matches the plugs on your equipment.
8 Way Power Distribution Units
An 8-way PDU offers eight output sockets. It may suit network racks containing switches, routers, servers and related equipment.
Our listed range includes an 8-way C13 PDU and an 8-way UK socket PDU.
Check the combined equipment load before connecting all eight outlets.
10 Way Power Distribution Units
A 10-way PDU provides ten outlets for compatible devices. It may suit larger network cabinets and installations with more power connections.
Our catalogue includes a 10-way PDU with a UK plug and a metallic 10-way PDU.
More sockets do not mean greater electrical capacity. Always observe the PDU's total current rating.
C13 Power Distribution Units
C13 socket PDUs use IEC 60320 C13 outlets. These are commonly used with compatible IT equipment power cords.
They may suit servers, network switches and other equipment with suitable IEC power connections.
Confirm the cord connectors and equipment inlet type before ordering.
UK Socket Power Distribution Units
UK socket PDUs provide outlets for compatible Type G plugs. These are useful where equipment uses UK-style power connections.
Check the socket configuration, input plug and electrical rating before installation.
Metallic Power Distribution Units
Metallic PDUs use a metal enclosure. They may be suitable for selected rack and equipment installations.
Check the construction, mounting arrangement and manufacturer's specifications.

Power Distribution Units vs Surge Protectors
Standard PDU
A standard PDU distributes electrical power to connected equipment. Basic models may not provide surge protection or remote monitoring.
Surge Protector
A surge protector is designed to limit certain transient overvoltages. Its protective capability depends on its specifications.
Our listed category also includes APC SurgeArrest and Tripp Lite surge protection products.
Can a PDU Protect Equipment Against Power Surges?
Only if the selected PDU includes a specified surge protection feature. Do not assume that every PDU provides surge protection.
Does a PDU Provide Battery Backup?
No. A basic PDU distributes power but does not store electricity.
For backup power during outages, use a suitable UPS system with the correct capacity.
How to Choose the Right Power Distribution Unit
1. Determine the Number of Outlets
Count the devices that need power connections. Choose a PDU with enough suitable outlets.
Allow room for future equipment only if the total electrical load remains within the rated capacity.
2. Choose the Correct Socket Type
Common options include IEC C13 and UK-style sockets.
Check the power cords used by your servers, switches and other devices.
3. Confirm the Input Plug
The PDU input must match the electrical supply or approved upstream equipment.
Never modify plugs or connectors to force an incompatible connection.
4. Check the Current Rating
PDUs have maximum electrical ratings. Check the rated voltage, current and total supported load.
Do not exceed the manufacturer's limits.
5. Review Rack Compatibility
Some PDUs are designed for rack installation. Check the rack width, mounting orientation and available space.
6. Consider Cable Management
A well-planned power layout can reduce cable clutter. Keep cables organised and avoid obstructing equipment ventilation.
7. Check Power Protection Requirements
Determine whether your installation needs surge protection, UPS backup or power monitoring.
These functions may require additional equipment or a PDU with the relevant features.
8. Consider Installation Safety
Use properly rated electrical circuits and compatible power connections. Larger installations should be reviewed by qualified personnel.
Power Distribution Units for Server Racks
Server racks often contain multiple devices that require electrical power. A suitable PDU can provide organised power connections.
When choosing a server rack PDU, check the outlet type, electrical load and mounting dimensions.
Also consider the power cords used by servers, storage systems and network equipment.
Power Distribution Units for Network Cabinets
Network cabinets may contain switches, routers, firewalls and other networking devices.
A PDU helps distribute power to compatible equipment. Choose a configuration that matches the installation.
For PoE switches, consider the total power consumption of the switch and connected PoE devices.
Power Distribution Units for UPS Systems
A suitable PDU may distribute output power from a compatible UPS to multiple devices.
However, the PDU input, output sockets and total load must match the UPS specifications.
Do not exceed the UPS output rating or connect unsupported equipment.
Power Distribution Units for Different Applications
Data Centres
Data centres use power distribution equipment to supply compatible IT systems.
Large installations may require monitored or switched PDUs, redundant power paths and professional electrical planning.
Office Server Rooms
Office server rooms may use PDUs to organise connections for servers, storage and networking equipment.
Telecommunication Installations
Suitable PDUs can distribute power to compatible telecommunication and network equipment.
CCTV and Security Systems
Security installations may need power connections for recorders, switches and supporting equipment.
Check the power requirements of the complete installation.
Business IT Infrastructure
Businesses may use PDUs to organise power connections within server cabinets and equipment rooms.
Rackmount PDU Installation Tips
Check the Mounting Position
Confirm that the PDU fits the intended rack or cabinet location.
Maintain Proper Ventilation
Avoid blocking server fans, ventilation openings and cooling airflow.
Organise Power Cables
Use suitable cable management accessories and keep power cords away from moving equipment.
Avoid Overloading
Check the total connected load and the electrical rating of the PDU.
Use Suitable Power Connections
Choose compatible plugs, sockets and power cords. Do not use damaged electrical accessories.
Inspect the Installation
Periodically check for damaged cables, loose connections and other visible defects.
Electrical inspection and repair should be carried out by qualified personnel.
