Filtered IEC 320 PDUs provide clean, conditioned power distribution for sensitive networking and server equipment, providing optimal performance. These power distribution units filter electrical noise and surges before they reach your connected devices, protecting against interference that can cause data errors or damage to hardware.
IT managers and network installers use filtered PDUs when standard power strips cannot guarantee the clean power supply that servers, switches, and storage systems require. The filtering circuitry removes high-frequency noise and electromagnetic interference that travels through the mains electricity, preventing equipment malfunctions and extending the hardware’s lifespan.
When selecting a filtered IEC 320 PDU, consider the outlet capacity based on your equipment density. The 6-way horizontal model suits smaller installations or edge networking cabinets, whilst the 12-way horizontal configuration accommodates higher-density server racks. Both feature IEC 320 C13 outlets that accept standard power cables for server and networking equipment. The horizontal orientation allows efficient cable management within 19-inch racks. Filtering specifications typically address radio frequency interference and electromagnetic compatibility, though manufacturers should provide detailed attenuation data for specific frequency ranges.
These units mount in standard 19-inch equipment racks and require a UK mains input connection. The IEC 320 outlet standard allows your existing equipment’s power cables to connect directly, eliminating the need for adapters.
Browse the range to compare specifications and determine which outlet configuration matches your cabinet layout.
