PROEL SDC308R - 1U 19" Rack Mount Power Strip with 8 Schuko Outlets and Switch
The PROEL SDC308R is a professional power distribution unit (PDU) meticulously designed to meet the demands of 19-inch rack installations. Manufactured in Italy under strict quality standards, this power strip is not just another accessory, but a fundamental component for ensuring safety and order in audio, video, networking, and server systems.
Its hybrid construction combines the robustness of an aluminum profile with the safety of flame-retardant thermoplastic components, offering superior resistance to both physical wear and potential electrical incidents. With a compact 1U height design, it integrates seamlessly into any standard rack without taking up unnecessary space, allowing you to maximize equipment density in your rack cabinet.
The SDC308R is equipped with a generously sized (2.5 meters) power cable with a 3x1.5 mm² cross-section, making it easy to connect to distant wall sockets without the need for extension cords that could compromise the signal or safety. Its illuminated master switch allows you to check the power status at a glance, providing complete control over turning all connected equipment on and off.
Main features
-
Optimal connection capacity: It has 8 Schuko type socket bases (16A 230V 2P+T), ideal for powering multiple devices simultaneously from a single source.
-
High-security construction: The aluminum chassis provides mechanical durability and heat dissipation, while the plastic parts are made of self-extinguishing (fireproof) thermoplastic material to prevent the spread of fire.
-
Immediate visual control: It incorporates a bipolar switch with red illumination, which acts as an indicator of the presence of voltage and allows for quick power cut-off in case of emergency or maintenance.
-
Universal installation: Includes metal side fins specifically designed for the 19-inch standard, ensuring a firm and stable attachment to the front or rear of the rack.
-
Quality wiring: It comes pre-wired with a 2.5 meter long cable with a 3x1.5 mm² cross-section, terminated in an injected Schuko connector, ready to use.
Benefits of the PROEL SDC308R power strip
The main benefit of integrating the SDC308R into your setup is operational reliability . By centralizing power to your equipment on a professional-grade power strip, it reduces cable clutter within the rack, improving airflow and simplifying maintenance. Its aluminum design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides natural shielding and superior durability compared to conventional plastic power strips.
Furthermore, safety is a priority: the use of flame-retardant materials protects your valuable hardware investment (amplifiers, processors, servers) from potential critical electrical failures.
Use cases
-
Professional Audio Racks: Ideal for powering power stages, effects processors and mixing consoles in recording studios or live racks.
-
Server and Network Cabinets: Perfect for organizing the power supply of switches, routers and servers in IT rooms (small and medium data centers).
-
Fixed Installations: Widely used in theaters, conference rooms and auditoriums where centralized and secure energy management is required.
-
Electronics Laboratories: Useful in test benches where multiple measuring instruments need to be switched on and off simultaneously.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it compatible with any rack cabinet?
Yes, provided the cabinet meets the standard 19-inch (48.26 cm) width. It occupies 1 height unit (1U).
What is the maximum power it can handle?
The power strip is sized to support up to 16 Amps, which is equivalent to a maximum power of approximately 3500W to 3680W at 230V.
Does the switch have protection?
The switch is a rocker type with an integrated red pilot light. Although it is slightly recessed in the profile to prevent rubbing, it is recommended to install it in a position where it will not be accidentally bumped.
Can the power cord be changed?
The cable is factory-fixed to ensure product safety and certification. It is not removable (it is not a C14/C13 connector), which guarantees a solid internal connection that is resistant to vibration-related failures.
