No more dislodged cables

Geist has launched patented U-lock™ sockets. Available as C19 and C13, they not only offer total peace of mind that server and other rack device cables will remain firmly locked in place, but at a glance also make it extremely easy to identify associated circuits, due to a range of differentiating colour options. Users simply plug the cord into the receptacle to lock it in place, and then gently depress the unique bezel design to release.

Geist U-Locks are now offered as standard on the Upgradeable rack PDU range that features: fault-tolerant daisy chaining tested successfully up to 40 units, 1% billing grade accuracy power monitoring – independently tested in the field, and hot-swappable intelligence, allowing PDUs to be upgraded in situ to the latest technology while there is absolutely no interruption to uptime.

Gordon Hutchison, VP for International Business Development said “We‘re excited to have developed and patented this unique style of locking socket. The U-Lock offers total security such that cables will never be accidently dislodged, and their bright colours allow easy circuit identification.

“We previewed the U-Lock at DCW in London and had a great deal of very positive comments. Our aim to ensure that Data Centre managers will have two less things to worry about in their facility when using our PDUs.”
