Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are provided in which cord storage cartridges are removably connected to a power distribution unit (PDU). The cord storage cartridge may include a cartridge housing having at least one aperture, a PDU interface associated with the cartridge housing and configured to removably connect the cord storage device to a mateable interface of the PDU, and a power output cord having a proximal end in electrical communication with the PDU interface and a distal end coupled with an output connector that is configured to connect to electronic equipment. The power output cord may be stowed at least partially within the cartridge housing in a retracted state and moveable through the at least one aperture to an extended state at least partially external to the cartridge housing.
