Why Choose the Rittal DK 7955.540 Managed UK Power Distribution Unit?

The Rittal DK 7955.540 is an intelligent managed Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for professional power distribution, monitoring and control within IT racks, data centres and network infrastructure. As part of the Rittal DK PDU range, it combines 16 UK BS 1363 output sockets with individual outlet energy measurement, monitoring and switching functionality.

Designed for advanced rack power management, the DK 7955.540 provides measurement and monitoring functions for each individual output slot. An integrated Web server enables direct network connectivity and extensive user administration, while bistable relays and an OLED display help minimise the PDU's own energy consumption. Measurement accuracy of 1% supports reliable monitoring of connected IT equipment.

With a single-phase 13 A UK input, 16 BS 1363 UK outlets and compact dimensions of 44 × 1280 × 85 mm, the DK 7955.540 provides a space-efficient managed power distribution solution for IT enclosures. Its black anodised aluminium construction and IP20 protection rating make it well suited to controlled indoor data centre and communications environments.
