Panamax D10-PFP Rackmount Power Distributor, Compact, 10 Outlets with Circuit Breaker

This thing distributes power and mounts to a rack. Pretty simple task and it does it well. Much better than another brand’s unit that I tried where all the neutral and hot wires were reversed. Tested this one and all the outlets are wired correctly.

What can I say? This product is basically a rack mount power strip.I am now using two of these in a half rack in my basement to house a couple of computer servers, some networking gear, and related accessories. My goal was to only have one or two power cables coming out of the rack so that I could easily pivot the rack on the wheels it has. This allows me to stick the rack in a corner, but roll it out to work on it when needed.These units installed with no trouble at all. There are no rubber feet on the bottom like other PDUs have, so they fit nicely in 1 RU directly on top of each other. My only minor gripe is the orientation of the power outlets. Some computer equipment uses "wall-warts" which often cover up a second outlet, no matter how you plug it in. To deal with that, I purchased some 1ft power cords, and just hang the "wall-warts" off those cables. The end result is all of the outlets are usable and I get the containment I wanted in my small rack. While I am not a fan of the orientation of the outlets, I am not deducting any stars because the real problem is the "wall-warts" not the outlets.Overall, these seem to work just fine for what they are. I look forward to not having to mess with them for a long time.

Basic unit which does what it is intended to do. When I first ordered it I didn't read closely and was thinking that it had at least a degree of circuit protection, which it does not. It is not a power conditioner or surge protector at all, but basically a rack mounted multi-outlet strip. I have this unit connected to a power conditioner and by using it this way I now have circuit protection for multiple outlets. It wouldn't be wise to overload it with too many pieces of equipment, but for basic power distribution it works just fine. I have a small pair of powered monitors connected to it, as well as a headphone amp, a rack mounted tuner, and a digital keyboard, none of which are power hungry monsters. It works fine with these few items.

Solid piece of gear. I unscrewed the casing to take a peak inside and no corners were cut. Shrink wrap tubing around wiring ends, solid grounding of all components, high quality 14 gauge cord set and excellent solder work. No excess wiring inside which means they thought through the build process and cut interconnecting wiring to length- minimizes heating and resistance. Of note, I would plug higher amperage equipment closer to the cord set side since the current will travel the least distance inside the case. But in all likelihood, will probably not affect anything, but in the off chance- strictly my engineering mind coming through. Note there is no on/off switch, surge protection or noise protection. The circuit breaker cannot be used as an on off switch. Green LED light to indicate power presence.

This item is what it is described to be. I just made the mistake of not looking close enough and did not realize it does not have a switch on it. Like the headline says its functional but I really need a switch on the front for my purposes.

The unit is great, the unit does what it is made to do. This unit is a Panamax-Furman which it offers more outlets than any other unit on the market. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles like lamps, power meters. If you are looking for a unit to organize all the equipment in your rack this unit works out great. I use this unit to power my non high demand equipment like mixers, cds, eq, etc. Power amps should be plugged directely into the wall. The unit was advertised with mounting screws. which it didn't come with. The seller told me it was a manufacture issue. I contacted the manufacture and this unit does not come with mounting screws. I had to contact the seller since they advertised the unit with mount screws. My review for the unit, which is that it is a great unit. Just be prepared that there are no mounting screw if any are advertised.

I can't begin to tell you how many of these I've purchased?! They are perfect for clean home installations, or better for the "more obvious" rack mount installs! Either way, great product for a REALLY great price! They plug into a standard 110 outlet.

Nothing flimsy about this unit - construction is very solid. It bolts nicely into my equipment rack, with all the outlets in the back where I need them and a nice powder-coated front panel. The 6-foot cord is just the right length, and the unit has no surge protection, so I can plug it into my UPS (plugging anything with surge protection into a UPS is generally a no-no). I highly recommend the D10-PFP for anyone looking for this set of features.
