Rack Power for 12 Devices

This 1U horizontal PDU distributes 120V power to twelve NEMA 5-15 outlets from a single 15A input. It suits small to mid-sized IT environments, offices and businesses that need organized rack-mounted distribution without extra complexity.

Passive Cooling with 15A Protection

The steel enclosure uses convection airflow so it adds no fan noise to the rack. A user-resettable 15A circuit breaker protects connected equipment from overloads while the illuminated switch cover prevents accidental power-off during maintenance.

Right-Angle Outlets and Four-Way Mounting

Right-angle NEMA 5-15 sockets stop bulky adapters from blocking neighbours and ease cable routing along the rack side. Pre-installed brackets with included M5 hardware allow horizontal or vertical installation on EIA-310 19-inch racks deeper than 10.1cm.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 1U PDU in a 19-inch rack and which step is most often missed?

Use the pre-installed four-way brackets with the four M5 cage nuts, M5x12mm screws, plastic washers, and metal washers; the step most often missed is fitting both the plastic and metal washers on each screw for a secure mount.

What maintenance or replacement will the 12-outlet PDU need over time?

The user-resettable 15A circuit breaker handles overload protection; if it trips repeatedly, the breaker itself may need replacement, but no other consumable parts are required.

What is the first limit reached under sustained load on this 120V PDU?

The regulatory derated input current of 12A is the first limit; continuous draw above 12A will trip the 15A breaker even though the plug and cord are rated for 15A.
