The housing is fitted with an electrical cable of a length of approximately 3 m, and a plug for connection to an electrical power mains socket.\nIt is presented to be used for supplying electricity of 230 V to various rack-mounted components in a cabinet. The article is mounted in a vertical position in standard network enclosures. The article also logs and transmits internal data (such as electricity, voltage, output and usage) and alarm messages (if values go above or below certain thresholds) via the included communication card.\nSee image.\n8537 10 99\nClassification is determined by general rules 1 and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature and by the wording of CN codes 8537, 8537 10 and 8537 10 99.\nClassification under heading 8544 as a cable fitted with connectors is excluded, since the article is designed to function as an apparatus for the distribution of electricity.\nAs the article consists of several sockets, a cable and a device to communicate, it is to be classified under CN code 8537 10 99 as other boards, panels, consoles, desks, cabinets and other bases, equipped with two or more apparatus of heading 8535 or 8536 for the distribution of electricity.",
