Data Centers and Rack Power Distribution (PDU)

Power Distribution Units (PDU): built for zero-defect assembly

Data center power distribution requires standardized, high-quality components that support efficient, automated, and repeatable assembly processes. SCHURTER’s IEC-based portfolio helps ensure a dependable interaction between plugs and outlets, independent of the chosen components, enabling globally scalable infrastructure builds.

Key outcomes

  • Standardized interfaces for globally consistent builds (IEC-based)

  • Faster, more repeatable wiring concepts for PDU production (e.g., IDC termination options)

  • Better operability through clear status signaling (light guide concepts)

  • Reduced downtime risk through secure connectivity and cord retention options

Our product highlights

  • GP21 / GS21 – 400 VDC coupler system (DC data center distribution)

  • 4797-5 – IEC outlets with integrated light pipes (status indication for multi-outlet PDUs)

  • 4710 – IEC outlet with IDC terminals (efficient wiring for heavier duty PDU applications)

  • V-Lock Cord Retention System (prevents unintentional unplugging)

Further areas of application

Industry and manufacturing

Industry & Production (Factory automation)

In production, milliseconds matter. Brief power fluctuations can stop lines or affect quality. We protect sensitive PLC electronics and ensure stable, repeatable power connectivity for robots and machinery to guarantee seamless industrial processes.
Power supply - Healthcare Hospitals

Power continuity for life-critical equipment

O.R.s and ICUs cannot tolerate outages. Hospitals rely on UPS bridging and generators. This demands reliable, approved components and easy-to-service connectivity for maximum patient safety.
Power supply for public safety

Transport Infrastructure and Public safety & telecommunications

Power for critical infrastructure: We support the 24/7 operation of transport hubs (rail, air, tunnel) and emergency control centers (police, fire, EMS). Our systems are designed for reliable mobility and public safety in time-critical situations
Power Supply for financial sector

Financial sector

Stock exchanges and banks require absolutely fail-safe IT systems. A blackout during ongoing transactions could destabilise global financial flows.

SCHURTER products in the data and communication market

First 400 VDC coupler system

With the GP21 plug connector and the GS21 socket-outlet, SCHURTER launches the world's first UL approved IEC TS 62735-1 standardized DC coupler system desgined to enable efficient DC power distribution in data centre power distribution strips and USP.

Light Pipe portfolio expanded

IEC outlets 4797-5 series are available with integrated Light Pipes. An intelligent, space and cost-saving solution for PDUs used in data centers and other multi-distributed power applications.

Evolution: Light pipe for status display

SCHURTER is launching the series 6610-5, the logical evolution stage from the successful 6610 series; a new level of functionality is added to the industry's original outlet popularly known for the highest level of efficiency during assembly.

IEC outlet with IDC terminals

SCHURTER announces its latest IEC appliance outlet with insulation displacement contact (IDC) terminals, the 4710. The new outlet provides increased power ratings over the popular 6610 series for heavier duty PDU applications.

V-Lock Cord Retention System

This V-Lock system by SCHURTER is an attractive and simple solution to prevent an unintentional unplugging. Various different connectors, Power Entry Modules and several country-specific power cables are available with this option.

IEC appliance inlet GSP4 for print circuit boards

SCHURTER has developed a new 16 A appliance inlet for efficient mounting. Designed for print circuit board mounting, the appliance inlet can be easily sandwiched between split enclosures and tested before it is installed in the equipment.

6610: IEC outlet with IDC terminals speeds assembly for power distribution units

SCHURTER announces its latest IEC appliance outlet with insulation displacement contact (IDC) terminals, the 4710. The new outlet provides increased power ratings over the popular 6610 series for heavier duty PDU applications.

Cord retention system for IEC C8 appliance inlets

SCHURTER expands its broad range of cord retaining systems to include a new clip retaining device for IEC C8 inlets and mating cord sets. The new clip device is a further addition to the already successful board range of SCHURTER cord retaining systems.

KMF protection class II: Compact power entry module

SCHURTER expands its wide range of power entry modues to include versions, without ground pin, for use in protection class II double-insulated applications. The KFM power entry module is already very popular for use in protection class I equipment.

C22F: Compact filtered inlet for high ambient temperatures

High levels of integration demand electrical components for use in higher temperature environments. This is where the new C22F appliance inlet and filter fills a gap.
