This High‑Density French Type‑E Rack PDU is a 19‑inch 1U horizontal rack‑mount high‑port‑density power distribution unit built for French and Belgian cabinet environments where large quantities of local‑spec devices must be powered within limited 1U vertical rack space. Distinct from lower‑port VH‑4021 (no master switch) and SPD‑integrated VH‑4023 (factory‑built surge hardware), this unit delivers nine native NFC61‑314 Type‑E outlets together with front‑panel illuminated master power toggle out‑of‑factory.
Rated for 16A / 4000W @220‑250VAC, housed in lightweight extruded‑aluminium matte‑silver chassis, CE & RoHS compliant. It is purpose‑built for integrators who need maximum outlet count inside one rack‑unit, while keeping optional safety‑monitoring features as future hot‑swap add‑ons instead of fixed factory‑installed hardware.
Core positioning: High‑density 9‑port French‑spec switched rack PDU; maximise outlet quantity within single 1U rack real‑estate; master‑switch pre‑fitted, surge / metering / USB as post‑installation retrofits; for FR‑BE multi‑device cabinet deployments without mandatory pre‑built surge requirement.
1.9‑Outlet High‑Density Layout Maximises Limited 1U Rack Real‑Estate
Most 1U French‑market PDUs provide only 6‑8 Type‑E outlets. VH‑4022 packs nine genuine NFC61‑314 receptacles within standard 1U height. For cabinets stuffed with NVRs, small network switches and multiple peripheral hardware, it avoids occupying extra valuable rack‑U space that would be consumed by stacking two separate PDUs. This directly improves space‑utilisation for dense French‑Belgium office and surveillance‑rack deployments.
2. Native NFC61‑314 Type‑E Receptacles Remove Adapter‑Dependent Risks
Nine batch‑validated Type‑E earthed sockets follow French NFC61‑314 requirements. Universal multi‑hole power units often deployed in cross‑border projects force technicians to use adapters; adapters create thermal‑over‑stress risks and may fail local site‑acceptance audits. Native French‑geometry outlets work directly with local hardware plugs, supporting tender‑project compliance review for commercial and public‑sector bids across France and Belgium.
3. Front‑Face Illuminated Toggle Optimised For Dense‑Cabinet Servicing
Red back‑lit master‑switch is placed on front panel. In tightly‑populated racks where rear sections are packed with cable bundles, technicians achieve full‑bank power isolation and visual power‑status confirmation without reaching deep into tangled wiring zones. This lowers accidental cable‑disconnection risk during hardware‑swap‑out and scheduled cabinet‑maintenance work.
4. Aluminium Chassis Tuned For Multi‑Device Continuous Mixed Loads
Extruded‑aluminium construction delivers improved passive heat dissipation when all nine outlets run simultaneously under mixed‑device loads. Compared with steel‑bodied competing high‑port PDUs, it mitigates hot‑spot build‑up caused by multi‑device continuous operation, slows socket‑contact wear‑and‑tear and lessens static weight‑load exerted on cabinet mounting rails. Matte‑silver finish harmonises with mainstream French‑deployed server‑rack interior aesthetics.
5. Modular‑Bay Design Lets You Add Safety‑Monitoring Functions On‑Demand
Surge defence, overload‑protection or power‑metering are not pre‑installed. This architecture lets integrators add those hot‑swap modules only for cabinets located in high‑thunder‑risk or audit‑required zones. You avoid paying for unneeded built‑in features for ordinary office‑room racks; optimises project‑by‑project hardware‑cost instead of one‑size‑fits‑all factory pre‑configuration.
6. Dual‑Orientation Mounting Adapts To Diverse French‑Belgium Cabinet Wiring Habits
Adjustable mounting lugs support both front‑facing and reversed rear‑feed installation. Many local French‑Belgium cabinet OEMs adopt rear‑oriented cable‑exit layouts. Reversed mounting routes heavy power cords backward, preventing thick cable bundles from blocking front‑side airflow of densely‑packed IT hardware inside compact racks.
Deployment note: This unit ships without built‑in SPD or overload‑protection. For lightning‑exposed sites or installations requiring mandatory over‑current cut‑off, order corresponding hot‑swap retrofit modules or configure proper upstream cabinet‑circuit protection complying with French‑Belgium local electrical‑installation codes.
1. Dense multi‑device French office IT closets: Business‑park cabinets hosting multiple switches, NAS and surveillance peripherals; 9 outlets in single‑1U reduce requirement for stacking multiple power‑distribution hardware.
2. Belgium multi‑channel surveillance recording racks: Security‑integrator projects with large numbers of NVR, PoE‑switch and auxiliary recording equipment; high‑port‑count meets simultaneous power‑supply demand within constrained rack‑U budget.
3. Mid‑size regional enterprise satellite‑site cabinets across France: Branch‑office racks needing master‑switch servicing capability, without universal mandatory surge‑protection requirement. Surge modules may be added later for selected high‑risk locations.
4. System‑integrator tender‑grade cabinet‑projects: Bidding documents specify high‑quantity native NFC61‑314 outlets plus master power‑isolation, while allowing safety‑monitoring accessories to be added per‑site‑conditions.
5. French‑Belgium local reseller ready‑stock inventory: Pre‑configured high‑density switched‑PDU SKU, customers can selectively purchase add‑on modules instead of buying several different pre‑configured PDU models.
Q: How should I select VH‑4022 against VH‑4021 and VH‑4023 French‑series PDUs?
A: Choose VH‑4022 if you need maximum 9 Type‑E outlets within one‑1U plus factory‑pre‑fitted master‑switch, and you intend to add surge / metering modules only for selected cabinets. VH‑4021 is switch‑less basic‑outlet‑only variant; VH‑4023 is factory SPD‑integrated 6‑outlet model prioritising out‑of‑the‑box lightning‑surge‑protection. All three share hot‑swap module‑compatible ecosystem and NFC61‑314 socket compliance.
Q: Does VH‑4022 come with surge‑protection or overload‑breaker out‑of‑the‑box?
A: No. Master‑switch is factory‑installed. SPD surge‑protection, overload‑breakers and power‑meter modules are separate‑order hot‑swap accessories, to be fitted for sites where those safety‑functions are actually required.
Q: Can I mount VH‑4022 reversed for rear‑feed French‑Belgium style cabinets?
A: Yes. Adjustable dual‑orientation mounting brackets support reversed rear‑feed installation, routing power‑cables backward to avoid blocking front‑air‑intake of densely‑populated rack‑mounted IT hardware.
Q: Are nine Type‑E sockets compliant for French‑Belgium tender‑acceptance inspections?
A: Yes, receptacles adhere strictly to NFC61‑314 specifications. Base‑unit test‑documentation is included; when you add retrofit‑modules, corresponding module compliance‑files can be supplemented for tender‑audit purposes.
Q: Can I retrofit metering and surge‑protection after rack‑installation?
A: Yes. Hot‑swap‑compatible auxiliary bays permit field‑retrofit of SPD, overload‑breaker and volt‑ampere‑meter modules without replacing main PDU housing.
Q: What protection arrangement is recommended for lightning‑prone locations?
A: Since there is no factory‑built‑in surge‑hardware, fit hot‑swap SPD‑module to VH‑4022 or install primary‑grade upstream surge‑arrestor complying with local French‑Belgium electrical‑installation regulations.
