DK7979.130 Rittal PDU BASIC 16A/3P CEE 9XC19

Why Choose the Rittal DK 7979.130 PDU Basic?

The Rittal DK 7979.130 is a robust three-phase basic Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for reliable power distribution within IT racks, server enclosures and network infrastructure. As part of the Rittal DK PDU basic series, it provides professional rack-level power distribution through 9 IEC 60320 C19 outlets in a compact aluminium housing.

Designed for demanding IT environments, the DK 7979.130 uses a 16 A three-phase CEE input and provides a rated power capacity of 11 kW. The nine C19 outlets are distributed evenly across the three phases, with three outlets per phase, while colour coding identifies the individual phases and circuits for easier installation and load management.

With compact dimensions of 44 × 695 × 70 mm, the PDU can be integrated efficiently into compatible IT enclosures, including vertical installation within Zero-U space. Its anodised aluminium housing, IP20 protection rating and 3 m connection cable provide a durable and practical solution for professional server, networking and data centre installations.

Reliable Three-Phase Power Distribution for IT Racks

The Rittal DK 7979.130 provides a straightforward way to distribute three-phase electrical power throughout professional server and network racks. Its nine C19 outlets are divided equally between the three phases, helping installers distribute connected equipment loads across the available supply while clearly identifying each phase through colour coding.

The slim aluminium housing is particularly suited to high-density IT environments where available rack space must be used efficiently. Vertical Zero-U installation in compatible Rittal VX IT and TS IT racks allows power distribution to be positioned outside the conventional 19" equipment mounting area, preserving valuable rack units for servers, switches and other active equipment.

Typical Applications

• Data centre server racks and IT enclosures.
• High-power server and computing equipment.
• Network and telecommunications cabinets.
• Three-phase rack power distribution.
• Rittal VX IT and compatible TS IT rack installations.
• Zero-U vertical PDU installations.
• Server rooms and communications infrastructure.
• Professional IT installations requiring multiple C19 power outlets.
