PDU.

Also written Power distribution unit.

What is a PDU?

A PDU is the power strip built for a rack: it takes one incoming feed and distributes it to the sockets the equipment actually plugs into. The count that matters is not sockets but which sockets, because IT hardware arrives with IEC leads and Indian plug tops in the same cabinet. Size it against the loaded rack's real draw, with cords that reach without coiling.

Defined by IEC 60320, for the C13 and C19 outlets most IT equipment uses, published by IEC.
