Rackmount power distribution
The Tripp Lite PDU1215 is a 1U basic PDU that delivers 15 A of single-phase power through 13 NEMA 5-15R outlets. It accepts a NEMA 5-15P plug on a 15 ft cord and fits standard 19 inch racks with detachable mounting flanges. The switchless design prevents accidental shutdowns in dense equipment environments.
Continuous load behaviour
A 15 A built-in circuit breaker protects the strip during sustained operation at the rated 1.8 kW capacity. The metal housing operates up to 104 °F without derating the output current. Front-panel LEDs give immediate visual confirmation that power is present across all 13 receptacles.
NEMA 5-15 interface limits
The unit supplies 120 V at 50/60 Hz and is also rated for 100 V and 127 V nominal inputs. Overload protection trips at 15 A, so total connected equipment must stay below that threshold. No surge protection or metering is included, so the PDU suits applications that only need reliable outlet multiplication.

Questions about this item
Does the PDU1215 generate heat or noise when running continuously?
The PDU1215 is a passive power strip with no fans or moving parts, so it operates silently and adds negligible heat beyond normal conductor loss.
What input plug and mounting hardware must I already have to install this PDU?
You need a NEMA 5-15R wall receptacle for the 5-15P plug and a 19-inch rack or wall space; mounting flanges and hardware are included.
Will my older 100 V or 127 V equipment work safely with this 120 V PDU?
Yes, the PDU simply passes through the 120 V supply and its outlets are rated for 100 V, 120 V and 127 V operation at 50/60 Hz.
