Monoprice Inc. 140001 12 Outlet 1U Rackmount PDU 1050 Joules 1.86 kg

12-Outlet 1U Rackmount PDU

The Monoprice 140001 is a 1U rackmount power distribution unit with 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets. It provides surge protection rated at 1050 joules for connected equipment. The unit fits standard 19-inch racks and cabinets and includes a 6-foot power cord with a 90-degree rotating retainer. Weighing 1.86 kg, its plastic housing keeps weight low for wall-mounted installations.

Suited for basic rack power distribution

This PDU suits administrators who need to distribute protected power to multiple devices in a standard 19-inch rack. It works well where a simple, surge-protected strip with 12 outlets is required. It is not for buyers who need metered or monitored power readings, switched outlet control, or IEC outlet types. It also does not suit installations requiring a higher joule rating or a different input plug configuration.

12 outlets and 1050 joules surge capacity

The 12 outlets comfortably handle typical rack loads such as servers, switches, and peripherals drawing standard 15 A current. The 1050 joule surge rating absorbs common transient spikes to protect attached gear. Headroom runs out when total connected draw approaches the 15 A circuit limit or when equipment requires monitored power budgeting. It also stops short for setups needing remote outlet switching or environmental sensors.
