Abstract

A rack includes a frame, two locking portions and a power unit. The frame includes multiple links and the two locking portions are located on two correspondent links or formed on extension portions of the links. The power unit is located corresponding to one of the locking portions and located in the frame, or the power unit is parallel to one of the locking portions and located in the frame. The power unit has at least one power cable and multiple power modules which are respectively connected to one side of the power unit and exposed from the power unit. Each of the power modules is connected to one of the at least one power cable. The two sides of the electronic device are fixed to the locking portions. The power cable and the transmission line of the electronic device are connected to the power unit.

Claims

1. A rack comprising:

a frame having multiple links;

two locking portions located on two correspondent links or being formed on extension portions of the links, and

a power unit located corresponding to one of the locking portions and located in the frame, or the power unit being parallel to one of the locking portions and connected to the frame, the power unit having at least one power cable, multiple power modules respectively connected to one side of the power unit and exposed from the power unit, each of the power modules connected to one of the at least one power cable.

2. The rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein the power unit is perpendicular to an outside of one of the locking portions.

3. The rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein the power unit is a power distribution unit (PDU).

4. The rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein the power unit has at least one transmission line so as to remote control power output from the power unit.

5. The rack as claimed in claim 4, wherein the power unit has at least one signal connection module so as to connect at least one electronic device with exterior internet.

6. The rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the power modules meets requirements of IEC 60320 of International Electrotechnical Commission.

7. The rack as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the power modules meets requirements of C13 and C14 coupler unit or C19 and C20 coupler unit of International Electrotechnical Commission.
