Ten thousand amperes, which is a current and not an energy

Logilink PDU8A01, 19-inch 1U strip, C13 outlets, 10000 A stated, 2 m lead, 483 × 45 × 45 mm

A rack strip that prints one protection figure and prints it in amperes, on a page where the joule rating, the clamping voltage and the response time are all absent.

LogiLink PDU8A01 black 19-inch rack power strip with IEC C13 outlets

Logilink PDU8A01, 19-inch 1U strip, C13 outlets, 10000 A stated, 2 m lead, 483 × 45 × 45 mm

A rack strip that prints one protection figure and prints it in amperes, on a page where the joule rating, the clamping voltage and the response time are all absent.

Joule rating
Not published on the listing — no joule figure appears anywhere. What the third bullet gives instead is a maximum of 10000 A against the surge protection, and an ampere is a current rather than an energy. The two describe different quantities and this page does not convert one into the other
Clamping voltage
Not published on the listing — no voltage protection rating and no clamping level appears. The second bullet gives 250 V AC as the supply rating of the strip, which is what it runs on and not the level at which anything begins to divert
Response time
Not published on the listing — no figure in nanoseconds and no timing of any kind is given
Standards named
IEC 60320 — stated in the title and in the second bullet, and it is the standard that specifies the C13 appliance coupler rather than anything to do with surges. No surge-protection standard is named: neither the IEC 61643 family nor UL 1449 appears on the page
Outlet count
Eight in the title, seven in the bullets — the title calls the strip 8-way and the second bullet lists 7× IEC60320 C13 sockets. Both figures are printed on the same page and the listing does not reconcile them, so both are reported here as written
Outlet spacing
Not published on the listing — no spacing between outlets is given. The fifth bullet publishes the overall dimensions instead, at 483 × 45 × 45 mm, which is the 19-inch rack width at one rack unit of height
Protected line types
Mains only — no telephone, coaxial or network line is named anywhere on the page as being protected
Cable length
2 m — stated in the third bullet, as an H05VV-F 3 × 1.5 mm² lead with a plug fitted
Status indicators
Not published on the listing — no protection status light, no power light and no indicator of any kind is named. The buying advice for this hub asks for a light that shows the protection is still present, and this page does not describe one

  • Publishes the electrical ratings of the strip itself: 250 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 10 A and a maximum of 3500 W
  • Names its cable specification in full, as H05VV-F 3 × 1.5 mm² over 2 m
  • No joule rating, no clamping voltage and no response time — the three figures this family is judged on

Best for: A cabinet full of equipment with C13 inlets, where the rack unit, the coupler type and the current rating are what have to be right.

On the listing

A LogiLink Professional PDU8A01, described as a high-grade 19-inch power strip, 8-way, IEC320, with surge protection, in black; for mounting in a 19-inch profile frame at one rack unit, in a robust heat-resistant housing of aluminium alloy; 7× IEC60320 C13 appliance sockets, with technical data of 250 V AC, 50/60 Hz, 10 A and a maximum of 3500 W; with surge protection to a maximum of 10000 A, and a 2 m connection lead of H05VVF 3 × 1.5 mm² with a plug fitted; a black housing; and dimensions of 483 × 45 × 45 mm.

One protection figure, and it is in amperes

Ten thousand amperes is a real number about a real thing. It is not the number this family is read on.

Amperes measure current — the size of the flow at a moment. A maximum surge current says how large an event the protective components are specified to survive without being destroyed outright.

Joules measure energy, and energy is what a protective component actually absorbs across the whole of a surge. That figure is the one that describes how much life the device has left, because these components wear a little with every event they take and stop protecting silently when they are used up.

The two are not interchangeable and cannot be converted into each other from anything printed here. This page reports the ampere figure for what it is and records the joule figure as absent.

The three lines that are not on this page

No joule rating. No clamping voltage. No response time.

Those three are what the specification of a surge protector consists of, and none of the three appears. The 250 V AC in the second bullet is the supply the strip runs on, not the level at which anything begins to divert; the 50/60 Hz beside it is mains frequency, and the 10 A and 3500 W are the load the strip will carry.

All of that is genuinely useful for choosing a rack strip. None of it is about surges.

The standard that is named, and the family that is not

IEC 60320 appears twice, in the title and in the second bullet.

It is the standard behind the C13 appliance coupler, and naming it is helpful: it tells you the outlets take the kettle-style leads that come with switches, servers and rack-mounted equipment, rather than a country-specific mains plug.

What it does not do is say anything about surge protection. The standards for surge protective devices are a separate family, and none is named here. The buying advice on this hub flags exactly this combination — a large protection number with no standard beside it.

Eight, and seven

The title says 8-way. The second bullet says 7× IEC60320 C13.

Both are on the page and neither is qualified by the other. This site reports the pair rather than choosing, and a buyer planning a cabinet around the outlet count should treat the number as unsettled until the seller confirms it.

Four hundred and eighty-three by forty-five by forty-five

The fifth bullet publishes the full external dimensions, which is the practical part of a rack product.

Four hundred and eighty-three millimetres is the 19-inch mounting width, and forty-five millimetres of height is one rack unit. The first bullet says the same thing in words — mounting in a 19-inch profile frame at 1U — in a housing of heat-resistant aluminium alloy.

The cable is fully specified as well: two metres of H05VV-F at 3 × 1.5 mm², with a plug fitted.

No light

Nothing on this page describes an indicator.

That absence has a specific consequence on this kind of product. A surge protector whose components have absorbed what they were specified for keeps supplying power exactly as before, and stops doing the other half of its job without announcing it. A protection status light is the only outward sign, and the buying advice for this hub asks for one for that reason.

None of the three strips in this hub publishes one.

Before ordering

Choose this on the rack unit, the coupler type and the current rating, which are all published and all clear. Do not choose it on the protection figure, which is in the wrong unit for the question. And take any question about the installation itself — what the strip feeds, how it is supplied, what protection already exists upstream — to the manufacturer’s instructions and to the local wiring rules, because this page reads a listing and nothing more.

    Pyle PDBC70EU, 6 rear sockets with front switches, mains filter named, 1.83 m lead, about 5.3 cm high

    Six sockets on the back and six switches on the front, in a metal case whose listing says plainly that it does not fit one rack unit — with the surge protection named and never given a number.

    Joule rating
    Not published on the listing — no joule figure appears in the title or in any of the five bullets. The second bullet names integrated surge protection and a mains filter and gives no figure for either
    Clamping voltage
    Not published on the listing — no voltage protection rating and no clamping level appears anywhere
    Response time
    Not published on the listing — no figure in nanoseconds and no timing of any kind is given
    Standards named
    Not published on the listing — no surge standard is named. The cable is described by its cross-section, at 3 × 1.5 mm², which is a construction figure rather than a standard
    Outlet count
    Six — stated in the title and in the first bullet, as six earthed sockets on the rear panel, each individually switchable from a switch on the front. It is the lowest outlet count on this shelf and the only one where every socket has its own switch
    Outlet spacing
    Not published on the listing — no distance between sockets is given. The sockets are on the rear and the switches on the front, which is an arrangement rather than a spacing
    Protected line types
    Mains only — no telephone, coaxial or network line is named. The second bullet names an AC noise filter alongside the surge protection, described as reducing interference, hum and voltage spikes for mixing desks, audio interfaces, amplifiers and power supplies
    Cable length
    1.83 m — stated in the fourth bullet, at 3 × 1.5 mm². It is the shortest lead published on this shelf
    Status indicators
    Not published on the listing — no protection status light is named. What the first and third bullets publish instead are front-panel switches, one per socket, which report and control the supply rather than the state of the protection

  • Brennenstuhl Alu-Line silver and black 19-inch power strip with eight angled earthed sockets

    Brennenstuhl Alu-Line 19-inch strip, 8 earthed sockets at 45°, aluminium case, 2 m lead

    Eight earthed sockets set at an angle so that moulded plugs fit, in an aluminium case built for a cabinet — sold on surge protection that the page never once quantifies.

    Joule rating
    Not published on the listing — no joule figure appears in the title or in any of the five bullets. Surge protection is named in the title and is never quantified anywhere on the page
    Clamping voltage
    Not published on the listing — no voltage protection rating and no clamping level appears
    Response time
    Not published on the listing — no figure in nanoseconds and no timing of any kind is given
    Standards named
    Not published on the listing — no standard is named for the protection. The cable is specified as H05VV-F 3G1.5, which is a cable designation rather than a surge standard, and no IEC 61643 or UL 1449 reference appears
    Outlet count
    Eight — stated in the title and in the first and fourth bullets, as earthed sockets. The count is consistent everywhere it appears
    Outlet spacing
    Not published as a distance — no millimetre figure between sockets is given. What the fourth bullet publishes instead is an arrangement: the sockets are set at 45°, which it names as the reason angled plugs fit
    Protected line types
    Mains only — no telephone, coaxial or network line is named as protected anywhere on the page
    Cable length
    2 m — stated in the first bullet, as an H05VV-F 3G1.5 lead, with increased contact protection named alongside it
    Status indicators
    Not published on the listing — no protection light, no power light and no switch is named. The bullets describe the housing, the socket arrangement and the intended cabinet, and never an indicator

  • akku-net black sealed lead-acid replacement battery of 12 V for an APC Smart-UPS

    akku-net Replacement cell for APC Smart-UPS 750, 12 V, 7.2 Ah / 86 Wh, 151 × 65 × 94 mm, 4920 g

    A cell whose specification bullet reads like a data sheet — voltage, capacity, watt-hours, cell type, three dimensions, weight and colour — and which still leaves the terminals entirely undescribed.

    Cell reference
    Not published on the listing — no cell code appears in the bullets. The reference carried in the record is the same string as the product barcode, and this page reports it as the record holds it rather than substituting anything else
    Cartridge reference
    Not published on the listing — no APC cartridge code appears anywhere. The title names the machine instead, as the APC Smart-UPS 750
    Voltage rating
    12 V — stated in the title and first in the specification bullet, which opens on voltage
    Amp-hour rating
    7.2 Ah — stated in the specification bullet, with 86 Wh printed immediately beside it. Both are the maker’s figures and both are reported here as printed; the watt-hour number is published rather than derived by this page
    Terminal type
    Not published on the listing — the specification bullet runs through voltage, capacity, cell quality, cell type, dimensions, weight, colour and compatibility, and never reaches the terminals
    Terminal width
    Not published on the listing — no millimetre figure for the tabs appears, which follows from the terminal type being absent
    Case dimensions
    151 mm × 65 mm × 94 mm — stated in the specification bullet. It is the same footprint two other cells on this shelf publish at the same rating
    Cells per pack
    Not published on the listing — no count appears, and no series or parallel arrangement is described. The bullets speak throughout of a single battery
    Assembled or loose supply
    Not published on the listing — nothing says whether an interconnect is fitted or the tabs arrive insulated. The fourth bullet describes the replacement as something the owner carries out, without describing what arrives
    Stated design life
    Not published on the listing — no period and no condition is given. The second bullet calls the cell maintenance-free and names power supply, standby installations and security and alarm equipment as its intended uses

  • Fiamm sealed lead-acid replacement battery of 12 V for an APC Back-UPS

    Fiamm Replacement cell for APC Back-UPS ES 700, 12 V, 7200 mAh / 86.4 Wh, 151 × 65 × 94 mm

    One of two cells on this shelf whose maker publishes the watt-hour figure itself, and the only one that gives its capacity in milliamp-hours rather than amp-hours.

    Cell reference
    Not published on the listing — no code describing the cell type, its case format or its rating appears in the bullets. The record carries the maker’s order reference, which is what the model field above holds
    Cartridge reference
    Not published on the listing — no APC cartridge code such as the RBC family appears. The machine is named instead, as the APC Back-UPS ES 700, in the title
    Voltage rating
    12 V — stated in the title and in the third bullet
    Amp-hour rating
    7200 mAh — stated in the third bullet, in milliamp-hours rather than in amp-hours, with 86.4 Wh given immediately beside it. Both figures are the maker’s and both are reported here in the units the maker printed them in. The watt-hour figure is published rather than derived, which is why it appears at all
    Terminal type
    Not published on the listing — no Faston tab, no bolted post and no designation is named in any of the five bullets
    Terminal width
    Not published on the listing — no millimetre figure appears for the tabs. One cell on this shelf publishes a width and the other five do not
    Case dimensions
    151 mm × 65 mm × 94 mm — stated in the fourth bullet. Three cells in this hub carry exactly these three numbers, which is the standard footprint for a sealed cell of this rating
    Cells per pack
    Not published on the listing — no count and no series or parallel arrangement appears. The bullets describe a single battery without ever saying so in a number
    Assembled or loose supply
    Not published on the listing — nothing says whether an interconnect is fitted or the tabs arrive insulated. The first bullet calls it an original battery and the second calls it high-grade new stock
    Stated design life
    Not published on the listing — no period and no conditions are given. The fifth bullet claims cells of the highest quality, which is a claim rather than a specification

  • Q-Batteries assembled replacement battery module for an APC Back-UPS with F2 terminals

    Q-Batteries Replacement module for APC RBC48, 12 V 7.2 Ah stated, F2 terminals, 151 × 130 × 100 mm

    A ready-made module quoted against an APC cartridge code, whose case is roughly twice the width of the single cells on this shelf while its electrical figures stay identical to theirs.

    Cell reference
    Not published on the listing — no code describing an individual cell appears, and the fifth bullet gives the technical data for the module as a whole
    Cartridge reference
    RBC48 — stated in the title and in the first bullet, which names it as a UPS replacement battery for APC. It is one of two cartridge codes published on this shelf, and it is the route by which a UPS maker’s own paperwork can be matched
    Voltage rating
    12 V — stated in the fifth bullet, in the technical data line
    Amp-hour rating
    7.2 Ah — stated in the fifth bullet, beside the voltage. No watt-hour figure is published, and this page does not produce one
    Terminal type
    F2 — stated in the fifth bullet as the connection type. It is one of two listings on this shelf to name a terminal at all, and the designation is given without a description of what it is
    Terminal width
    Not published on the listing — F2 is a tab designation and no millimetre figure is printed against it. One cell in this hub publishes a width in millimetres, and this is not it
    Case dimensions
    151 mm × 130 mm × 100 mm — stated in the fifth bullet. Three other cells on this shelf publish 151 × 65 × 94 mm at the same stated voltage and the same stated capacity, so this case is roughly twice as wide as theirs while the electrical figures are identical. The listing prints both facts and does not reconcile them
    Cells per pack
    Not published on the listing — the title calls the product a ready-made battery module for replacement and no bullet says how many cells are inside it or how they are wired to each other
    Assembled or loose supply
    Assembled — stated in the title as a ready-made module for exchange. It is the only listing on this shelf that says outright what state the product arrives in
    Stated design life
    Not published on the listing — no period and no condition appears. The fourth bullet describes a maintenance-free sealed AGM battery, which is a construction rather than a life
