What's a PDU?
From the picture, looks like a Power Distributing Unit, so a UPS, where he's converting from IEC style outputs to something that goes into a US style plug
Power Distribution Unit, or really expensive power strip, typically 6 feet long to mount vertically in an equipment rack or 19 inches long to mount horizontally. The long ones usually have outlets divided into 3 groups with 3 breakers and 3 LED current meters. They don't have batteries but racks usually have 2 UPS's and 2 PDU's, and servers and switches each have 2 PSU's. The long ones have only IEC outlets and the short ones usually do.
They're about 2.5 times as long as a typical power plug.
They hold on as tight as any IEC plug does, which is tighter than regular plugs.
