RackLink offers a range of Smart/Fast type USB enabled Power Strip/PDUs, including 19” Horizontal and Vertical Enclosure mounting. We can even incorporate both USB and GPO/IEC outlets into the same Power Distribution Unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum number of USB outlets for a PDU?
We can supply PDUs with up to 12 USB outlets. Our PDUs can also be customised to have a combination of GPO and USB outlets. For commercial use, we can supply high-capacity USB PDUs with multiple fast-charging ports for charging laptops or USB-powered network devices simultaneously.
Is there a warranty for USB PDUs?
Yes. RackLink provides a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty on our custom USB PDU models. We will repair or provide a full replacement for any fault or failure that results from normal operating conditions.
Can I connect a USB hub to the PDU to expand the number of USB outlets?
It is not recommended to connect a USB hub to the PDU. Most USB hubs are not rated to handle the power outlet provided by a PDU. Doing so may increase the risk of power surges and resulting power failures. If you require more USB outlets to charge multiple devices, we can increase the number of USB outlets on the PDU instead. USB outlets on the PDU are connected to the built-in surge protector.
