Power distribution unit

Okay kiddo, so a power distribution unit is like the box that helps to share electricity to all the different things that need it. Think of it like a pizza party where one big pizza needs to be divided up amongst all of your friends. The power distribution unit is in charge of cutting up the pizza (or electricity) into equal slices (or portions) so that everyone can have some (or your computer, printer, and other devices can get the electricity they need). It's very important because without it, some things might not get enough electricity to work properly.
