Start and Inter Leads connect desk power distribution units to the mains supply and to each other, forming the power chain along a run of desks or workstations. Installers use them on office refurbishments and open plan fit-outs where several desk PDUs need linking from a single supply point.
Choosing the right lead
A Start Lead runs from a UK 13A plug to a GST18 female connector, taking mains power to the first PDU in a run. An Inter Lead runs GST18 male to female, linking one PDU to the next along the desk run. Both are available in lengths from 0.5 metre up to 10 metre, so you can match the lead to the distance between desks or to the supply point.
- Start Lead: UK 13A plug to GST18 female, 1 metre to 10 metre
- Inter Lead: GST18 male to female, 0.5 metre to 3 metre
