Single point of connection

The Compaq Power Distribution Unit connects up to 12 devices to a single outside connection,
eliminating multiple power cords connected to AC receptacles outside the equipment rack. This
single point of connection simplifies cable management and routing to minimize the risk of
inadvertent plug removal.

The customer can connect up to 12 power cords to the IEC-320 Power Distribution Unit
receptacles. It also reduces the risk of pulling the wrong plug when performing maintenance.

Note:

  The 30A High Voltage Power Distribution Unit is not designed to connect to an

Uninterruptible Power System.
