The physical design of the PDU was cumbersome. Each box had to be wired in a very tight space with very tight tolerances on wire length, leading to many a scraped and cut finger. Maintenance was also a hassle for this reason. 4. Due to the through runs of the power busses, made out of normal 14-2 Romex wire, the boxes were permanently attached. This was fine at the start, but connect 8 of these boxes together and the unit became cumbersome to work with.
