Rittal PDU Basic 7979137 - unidade de distribuição de energia para rack 3 fases 16A, 12x saídas C13 e 3x C19, montagem em rack 1U 19 polegadas, entrada IEC 60309, preto

Data centre technicians and IT infrastructure managers often face the challenge of distributing three-phase power to multiple servers and network devices within a 19-inch rack. The Rittal PDU Basic 7979137 solves this with a robust, 1U rack-mountable power distribution unit that converts a single 400 V 3-phase input into 15 protected outlets. It provides 12 IEC C13 and 3 IEC C19 sockets, each group safeguarded by a 16 A circuit breaker, ensuring reliable power delivery for high-density equipment.

Key specifications

• PDU type: Basic (non-metered, non-switched)
• Form factor: 1U, horizontal 19-inch rack mount
• Input: IEC 60309 3P+N+PE (CEE 16 A, 5-pole), 400 V AC, 3-phase, 50/60 Hz
• Total power rating: 11 kW (16 A per phase)
• Outputs: 12 x IEC 60320 C13, 3 x IEC 60320 C19
• Overload protection: 3 x 16 A circuit breakers (one per phase group)
• Input cable length: 3 m

• Operating temperature: 0 – 50 °C, relative humidity 5 – 95 % non-condensing
• Protection class: IP20, certifications: CE

Why choose it

This PDU is built for reliability in demanding IT environments. The anodised aluminium housing dissipates heat effectively, while the three circuit breakers isolate faults per phase, preventing a single overload from taking down the entire rack. The combination of C13 and C19 outlets accommodates a wide range of equipment, from switches and routers to high-power servers and blade enclosures.

Ideal use cases

• Powering a full rack of servers, storage arrays, and network switches in enterprise data centres
• Equipping colocation cabinets where three-phase power is standard
• Supporting industrial IT installations that require a rugged, basic PDU without remote management
• Distributing power in test labs or temporary server rooms with 400 V CEE sockets

Good to know

The PDU Basic 7979137 is a straightforward, no-frills power distribution solution. It does not include metering or switching capabilities, making it ideal for environments where remote monitoring is handled by other infrastructure or is not required. The 3 m input cable provides flexibility for rack placement, and the black anodised finish matches most modern rack aesthetics. Installation is simple: mount it in a 1U space using the included brackets, connect the CEE plug to a compatible 16 A three-phase socket, and distribute power to your equipment.
