Product categories

Vertical UK PDUs provide organised power distribution for server racks and network cabinets through space-saving vertical mounting configurations. These power distribution units mount along cabinet sides or rear rails, delivering power to multiple devices without consuming valuable horizontal rack space.

Data centre managers and IT teams face constant pressure to maximise equipment density whilst maintaining safe power distribution. Vertical PDUs address this by positioning sockets along the cabinet’s vertical axis, thereby maintaining horizontal U-space for servers, switches, and storage arrays. This configuration is suitable for environments where equipment depth varies or where front-to-back cable management presents challenges.

Your socket requirements determine which model is best suited for your installation. The range spans from 4-way units for small network closets through to 16-way configurations for high-density server deployments. Each unit features UK standard sockets and ships with a 3-metre power lead, providing flexible positioning within typical rack depths and allowing connection to wall outlets or floor-mounted power sources. Select your socket count based on current device requirements plus 20-30% overhead for future expansion. Consider the total amperage draw across all connected equipment to avoid overloading the circuit. Most UK PDUs operate on 13-amp circuits, which limit the total connected load to approximately 3,000 watts.

All units require UK three-pin power sources and standard 19-inch rack mounting points.
