Yes but I would throw those substandard IEC leads away. How much are genuine, certified 10A IEC leads from CPC...£2? Not worth risking your life or someone else's for this. Think of it as seeing your rack on fire for free or seeing it working fine all night for £2.

I asked to take a look at a PC that wasn't working properly, when I touched the metal casing I got a minor shock, cheap IEC cable turned out to be made of conductive plastic.

Ok there is only a 13a fuse in the plug for the 4 x 13a outlets. you can run the entire system off a single 13a plug (it might get warm) but it is better practice to spread the load across two supplies ie: use a separate 13a supply for your biggest amplifier and use the PDU for everything else.. |

I have x2 PDU. But yeah makes sense to put the Amps into their own wall socket. I have x2 double wall sockets at home so ill out large amps into those and have turntable, DSP, Siren, Mixer and (smaller) high amp in PDUs thanks
PS I’ve bought 10amp rated leads too, thanks for the advice people.
