Why Choose This Product?
-
When you need a reliable power distribution unit outside of a standard server rack, such as on a workbench or test bench, this bench-mount PDU delivers both durability and flexibility.
-
The aluminium/steel build gives it strength and resilience — suitable for harsher or more hands-on settings (e.g., technician benches, engineering labs) where standard desktop power bars may not suffice.
-
Options for different socket types and plug-in configurations let you match your equipment’s needs and installation context.
-
With cable exit rear mounted and the ability to secure the unit to a surface, it helps keep the workspace tidy and safe from loose cables or equipment movement.
Applications & Use-Cases
-
Technician workbenches: powering tools, measurement gear, lab instrumentation or multiple devices from one consolidated unit.
-
Education or research labs: distribution of power across a bench area with flexible plug/socket configuration.
-
Workshop or manufacturing test area: rugged enough for an industrial environment while offering the modularity of socket count and plug types.
-
Conference/exhibition booths or mobile labs: bench-mounted distribution gives versatility and fixed wiring convenience.

Compatibility & Installation Notes
-

Ensure your bench environment has proper earthing/grounding according to electrical regulations; the unit should be connected in line with the site’s power infrastructure.
-
Avoid placing near extreme heat, liquids or vibration sources unless specification states suitability.
-
Use the proper plug type suited to your mains feed and equipment connector types.
