Simple, Reliable Power Distribution

When you need dependable, no‑frills power distribution for your rack or cabinet, SECAP’s Basic Rack PDUs (also known as rack power rails) deliver exactly that.

Designed to provide stable, continuous AC power for servers, networking gear, and IT equipment without unnecessary complexity.

These Basic PDU Power Rails suit standard server rooms, small data closets, branch-office racks, and commercial deployments where reliability matters more than extras.

​

Why Choose Basic Rack PDUs / Power Rails

• Dependable power distribution: 
  Built for consistent, 24/7 operation and perfect for always-on servers, switches, or storage.

• Flexible form‑factors: 
  Available in both vertical (0U) and horizontal (1RU / 2RU) styles to fit different rack layouts, space constraints, or installation preferences. 

• Versatile outlet and input options: 
  Choose from Australian SAA GPO, IEC C13 / IEC C19, IEC LOCK or other socket types, with single- or three-phase input depending on site power.

• Simple, low-cost solution: 
  Ideal when advanced features (metering, remote monitoring, switching) are not required making budget and maintenance simpler.

• Safe & compliant: 
  Meets electrical safety and rack standards with appropriate load handling and distribution design. 
   

Key Features

• Available in flexible orientations
  Vertical (0U) or horizontal (1RU/2RU) mounting configurations. 

• Supports multiple outlet types
  IEC C13 / IEC C19, SAA Australian GPO sockets, mixed outlet options based on your rack requirements.

• Multiple input options
  Single-phase or three-phase depending on rack / building power infrastructure.

• Built‑in circuit protection
  Circuit breakers / overload protection to safeguard connected equipment under continuous load.

• Optimised for standard rack use 
  No unnecessary extras: straightforward, credible, and low‑maintenance.

• Ideal for server rooms
  Also small-to-medium data centres, branch offices, networking closets, or any environment where simplicity and reliability are priority.

​

Typical Use Cases

• Small or medium server rooms where you need reliable power for standard IT equipment.

• Networking closets and telecommunications racks supporting switches, routers, modems, or communication gear.

• Branch offices or remote sites where advanced monitoring or remote management is not required,  just a stable power rail.

• Production or engineering cabinets where cost-effectiveness and simplicity take priority over advanced functionality.

• Situations where you want to minimise maintenance overhead and risk by sticking with tried‑and‑true basic power rails / PDUs.

​

How to Choose the Right Basic PDU / Power Rail

Before selecting a basic PDU / power rail, consider:

• Rack layout & space: 
  Do you need a vertical 0U PDU (to save RU space) or a horizontal 1U/2U rack‑mount version?

• Outlet and plug types: 
  Australian SAA GPO vs IEC C13 / IEC C19 to match outlets to the equipment and cords you intend to use.

• Power input & capacity: 
  Single‑phase vs three‑phase input to ensure the PDU’s current and power rating suits your total equipment load.

• Load protection: 
  Built-in circuit breaker or overload protection especially if equipment draws continuous or varying loads.

• Future expansion: 
  Make sure there are enough outlets, and consider headroom if you plan to add more devices later.
