Panduit DAPI-UK British Socket Insert for Data Access Port

Overview

The Panduit DAPI-UK is a British-standard 13A/250VAC socket insert engineered specifically for deployment inside Panduit's Data Access Port (DAP) infrastructure. If you're outfitting UK-spec workstations, managed security stations, or AV/IT consolidation points in a British-wiring environment, this is the socket that drops into the DAP4BC-X0 frame to deliver a code-compliant power outlet at the point of use — without improvising with third-party components that may not seat or retain correctly. Sold as a single unit (package quantity: 1), the DAPI-UK is the correct field-replaceable or configuration-specific insert for the DAP4BC-X0 chassis.

Data Access Ports are a common infrastructure choice in structured-cabling environments where you want a single managed enclosure to consolidate power, data, and signal at a desk, rack, or equipment station. The DAPI-UK fills the power outlet slot in that enclosure with a proper British-type socket rather than a workaround adapter — relevant whenever your deployment is UK-spec or serves international sites standardized on British wiring.

Key Features

• 13A / 250VAC British Socket: Rated for up to 13 amps at 250 volts, matching the UK standard load capacity. This covers the full range of typical IT, AV, and security device power draws — IP cameras, thin clients, VoIP phones, and similar edge devices — without requiring a separate power strip or pigtail adapter at the access point.
• Designed Exclusively for DAP4BC-X0: The DAPI-UK is form-engineered to seat and retain correctly in the Panduit DAP4BC-X0 Data Access Port enclosure. Using a generic socket here risks poor seating, failed retention, and a non-compliant installation. If your site is standardized on DAP4BC-X0, this is the insert to specify — not a substitute.
• Single-Unit Packaging: Packaged individually (quantity: 1), which aligns with field-service and mixed-configuration deployments where you may need one socket in a particular port position alongside data or video inserts. Order exactly the quantity your port layout requires rather than buying a multi-pack with surplus.
• Purpose-Built for Safety-Security Infrastructure: Panduit classifies the DAPI-UK within its active safety device lineup, reflecting the design intent for security operations centers, managed access stations, and structured IT environments — not general-purpose power distribution. The socket's form factor and retention are matched to the DAP system's cable management and enclosure standards.

Integration & Compatibility

The DAPI-UK is compatible exclusively with the Panduit DAP4BC-X0 Data Access Port enclosure. It is not a universal insert and will not fit other manufacturers' modular outlet systems. When configuring a DAP4BC-X0 for a UK-wiring installation, the DAPI-UK fills the power outlet position; other inserts in the DAP family handle data, audio, and video connections. If you are sourcing for a North American installation, a different DAPI variant applies — verify the socket standard before ordering.

This insert is part of Panduit's broader safety and security infrastructure accessory range. For integrators managing multi-site deployments with mixed international wiring standards, the DAP system's modular insert architecture allows consistent enclosure hardware across regions with only the insert changing per local code — the DAPI-UK is the UK-spec power component in that system. Pair with appropriate structured cabling components and Data Access Port accessories for a complete installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What enclosure is the DAPI-UK compatible with?

A: The DAPI-UK is designed specifically for use with the Panduit DAP4BC-X0 Data Access Port enclosure. It is not intended for use with other enclosures or third-party modular outlet systems.

Q: What is the electrical rating of the DAPI-UK socket?

A: The DAPI-UK is rated at 13A and 250VAC, which is the standard British socket specification (BS 1363-compatible form). This covers typical IT, AV, and security device power requirements at UK-spec installations.

Q: Is the DAPI-UK suitable for North American installations?

A: No. The DAPI-UK is a British-standard socket insert. For North American installations, you would need the appropriate DAPI variant matched to NEMA outlet standards. Verify the socket standard for your region before ordering.

Q: How many units come in a package?

A: The DAPI-UK is packaged and sold as a single unit (package quantity: 1), which is appropriate for field-service or mixed-configuration deployments where individual insert quantities need to match specific port layouts.

Q: Can the DAPI-UK be used as a general-purpose wall socket insert outside the DAP system?

A: No. The DAPI-UK is engineered to seat and retain correctly inside the Panduit DAP4BC-X0 enclosure. It is not designed as a standalone or general-purpose outlet insert and should only be used as specified.

The DAPI-UK is a narrow-purpose component, but it matters when you need it: the 13A/250VAC British socket insert is the correct power outlet element for any DAP4BC-X0 deployment on a UK-wired site. If you spec the wrong DAPI variant — say, a North American insert in a British enclosure — you're looking at a non-seating component and a rework trip. The DAPI-UK eliminates that mismatch for UK-standard installations.

Technical Highlights:

• 13A / 250VAC Rating: Handles the full load range of typical security and IT edge devices — an IP camera draws under 25W, a VoIP phone under 10W, both well within the 13A/250VAC ceiling. No derating concern for standard single-device connections.
• DAP4BC-X0 Exclusive Fit: Panduit's Data Access Port system uses proprietary insert geometry for retention and safety compliance. The DAPI-UK is the only insert that seats correctly in the British socket position of the DAP4BC-X0 — not a dimension that tolerates substitution.
• Single-Unit Packaging: Quantity-1 packaging lets you order exactly what a specific port position requires — useful when a port layout mixes British power with data or AV inserts and you don't need a multi-pack.

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the host enclosure is DAP4BC-X0 before ordering — the DAPI-UK will not retain correctly in other DAP variants or third-party modular systems. Cross-check the enclosure part number on site before sourcing replacements.
• The DAPI-UK (often searched as DAPI UK) is a UK-only socket standard. International or multi-region deployments require the correct regional DAPI insert per site — do not assume interchangeability across the DAPI family without verifying the socket standard.

This insert is the right call for security operations centers, managed workstations, or AV consolidation points on UK-spec sites running the DAP4BC-X0 enclosure system — anywhere you need a compliant, retention-secure British power outlet integrated into structured cabling infrastructure rather than a freestanding power strip.
