CyberPower PDU41021 1U Switched PDU 16 Outlets 12 ft 15A NEMA 5-15P

1U Switched PDU with 16 Outlets

The CyberPower PDU41021 is a 1U rackmount power distribution unit providing 16 NEMA 5-15R outlets for IT equipment. It accepts a single-phase 100-120 VAC input through a 12 ft NEMA 5-15P cord. Network protocols including SNMPv3, HTTPS, SSH, and RADIUS enable remote outlet switching and monitoring. This unit suits administrators needing individual outlet control in a standard rack enclosure.

Regulatory Derating Limits Continuous Load

Although the input plug and overload protection are rated at 15A, regulatory derating restricts continuous input current to 12A. The 15A circuit breaker protects against short-term overloads but sustained draw must remain at or below the derated figure. Installations must plan total connected equipment loads accordingly to avoid nuisance tripping or code violations.

12A Continuous Capacity Decides Suitability

The 12A regulatory derated input current is the single specification determining whether this PDU supports a given rack deployment. If the aggregate power draw of connected devices exceeds this continuous limit, the unit is not appropriate for the application. Buyers needing higher sustained current per rack unit should evaluate alternative power distribution hardware.
