DIGITUS 42U Vertical Rack Power Strip — 18 × Schuko, 16 A Circuit Breaker
18 × Schuko at 45°0U vertical · 42U length16 A · 3.6 kVAIntegrated breaker
The DIGITUS A-19-STRIP42-1 is a vertical 0U power strip for 42U server and network racks, with 18 earthed (Schuko) sockets rotated 45° along an 1860 mm aluminium profile. It mounts in the vertical space at the side or rear of the rack, so it does not use any of the 19-inch height units needed for equipment.
It is rated 230–250 V AC, 16 A, 3.6 kVA, and has an integrated 16 A type C circuit breaker (6000 A breaking capacity) against overload and short circuit. Power comes through a 2 m cable (1.5 mm²) with a CEE 7/7 plug, and two mounting brackets are supplied.
Before you order: the strip is 1860 mm long, sized for 42U racks. Check that your rack has 0U vertical mounting space of this length. The sockets are Schuko, so servers and switches with IEC inlets need Schuko-to-C13 cords.
What's in the Box
- 1 × DIGITUS 18-way socket strip with fixed 2 m cable and CEE 7/7 plug
- 2 × mounting brackets
- 1 × safety instructions
What It Means in Practice
- 18 outlets along the full height of a 42U rack, so every device has a socket within reach.
- Sockets at 45° leave room for adapters and angled plugs side by side.
- Uses no rack units: the strip sits in the vertical 0U space.
- Total load up to 16 A from one Schuko wall or UPS socket.
What Will Not Work
- No switch, metering, surge protection or remote management.
- No IEC C13/C19 outlets.
- Not for racks shorter than 42U without enough 0U space for the 1860 mm length.
- Total load cannot exceed 16 A: 18 sockets do not mean 18 high-power devices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it fit a 42U rack?
It is 1860 mm long and designed for vertical 0U mounting in 42U racks. Check the 0U channel length in your rack first.
Can I connect it to a UPS?
Yes, to a UPS with a Schuko output, since the strip has a CEE 7/7 plug. A UPS with C13/C19 outlets needs an adapter cord rated for the load.
What protects it from overload?
An integrated 16 A type C circuit breaker with 6000 A short-circuit breaking capacity.
Singular Expert Insight · Buyer's Guide
A full-length 0U strip is the simplest way to give every device in a 42U rack its own socket without losing height units. Watch the 16 A total. More rack PDUs, shelves and panels are in our
rack accessories.
✓ Buy it if you need many Schuko outlets in a 42U rack and want to keep all height units free.
✕ Skip it if you need IEC outlets, switching or power metering.
→ Also consider a 19-inch horizontal PDU if your rack has no 0U vertical space.
Not sure it fits your rack? Send us the rack model and we will check the 0U space before you order.
