1U Maintenance Bypass PDU
The CyberPower MBP15A6 is a 1U rackmount power distribution unit designed for 120V environments. It provides six rear-facing NEMA 5-15R outlets fed by a 6 ft utility cord and a 3.3 ft UPS cord. The unit features a rugged metal housing and includes mounting hardware for standard racks. It operates in temperatures from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.
Suited for single-UPS maintenance
This PDU suits administrators who need to service a UPS without powering down connected equipment. The maintenance bypass design allows continuous power flow during UPS replacement or repair. It is not for installations requiring higher than 12A continuous draw or input voltages outside the 100-125V ac range. Buyers needing more than six outlets should look at larger units.
12A derated continuous capacity
The critical specification is the 15A input rating derated to 12A continuous operation. This limit defines the total load the six outlets can safely support. Exceeding 12A risks tripping the branch circuit or overheating. The UL60950_1 and cUL certifications confirm compliance with North American safety standards for this rating.

Questions about this item
Is the 12 A derated limit or the 15 A nameplate rating the one I should plan my load around?
The unit is UL-listed for continuous operation at 12 A, so size your connected equipment to stay at or below that figure; the 15 A marking reflects the plug and breaker rating only.
What does the 12 A derated rating mean for the six rear NEMA 5-15R outlets when the PDU is mounted in a 1U rack?
The six outlets share a single 12 A branch, so the combined draw of all plugged-in devices must not exceed 12 A regardless of how many outlets are used.
How does the NEMA 5-15P input plug and 6 ft utility cord affect where I can install this PDU in a 120 V environment?
The 5-15P plug fits standard 120 V 15 A receptacles, and the 6 ft cord plus 3.3 ft UPS cord give roughly 9.3 ft total reach from the wall outlet to the UPS input.
