Power Extension Rittal DK 7240.201

The Rittal Power Extension DK 7240.201 is a compact PDU designed for indoor power distribution. It provides nine C13 AC outlets in a low-profile aluminium and polycarbonate housing, supporting an output voltage of 250 V and a maximum current of 10 A. With a mounting-friendly width of 482.6 mm and a shallow depth and height of 44 mm each, the unit is suited to rack or cabinet installations where space efficiency and durable materials are required.

Advantages

The housing combines aluminium for structural strength with polycarbonate components for impact resistance and electrical insulation. The nine C13 outlets allow simultaneous connection of multiple devices while maintaining a standardized connector interface. The PDU’s compact dimensions and straightforward form factor facilitate installation in 19-inch racks or shallow enclosures. Rated for 10 A and 250 V, it is appropriate for light to medium power loads and environments where predictable, secure power distribution is needed.

Suitable for

• Powering servers and network equipment in small to medium IT racks
• Distributing mains power to office electronics and peripheral devices
• Use inside control cabinets or equipment housings with limited depth
• Laboratory benches and test setups requiring multiple standardized AC outlets

Key specifications

• Outlet type: 9 × C13 AC outlets
• Maximum current: 10 A
• Output voltage: 250 V
• Housing materials: aluminium and polycarbonate
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 482.6 mm × 44 mm × 44 mm
• Intended installation: indoor, rack or cabinet mounting

How to use

Mount the power extension in the intended rack or cabinet position using appropriate mounting hardware for 19-inch compatible equipment. Connect the unit to a suitably rated mains supply and confirm that the supply matches the specified 250 V and does not exceed 10 A total load. Plug devices into the C13 outlets ensuring that each connected device’s current draw is within the PDU’s rating. Inspect connections regularly and avoid placing the unit where liquids, excessive dust, or direct mechanical impact may occur.

Recommendations

Distribute load across the nine outlets to avoid concentrating high current on a single feed. For installations with higher total current demands, use a PDU rated for greater amperage. Ensure proper earthing of the rack or cabinet and follow local electrical codes during installation and maintenance.
