Basic 120 V PDU for dense racks
The Tripp Lite PDU121506 is a single-phase 120 V power distribution unit rated at 18 kW. It provides 13 NEMA 5-15R outlets — 12 at the rear and one at the front — fed by a six-foot cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug. The all-metal 1U chassis includes reversible brackets for standard 19-inch rack mounting.
Suits simple high-density power strips
This unit fits network, telecom, security and audio/video racks that need many 120 V outlets without switching or monitoring. A 15 A circuit breaker guards against overloads and the switchless design prevents accidental shutdowns. It is not for installations that require per-outlet control, metering or remote management.
15 A breaker limits total load
The single 15 A breaker means the combined draw of all connected devices must stay within that rating. If your equipment needs a higher branch-circuit rating or multiple breakered banks, this PDU will not meet the requirement.

What does the 18kW rating mean for actual equipment loads on this 120V PDU?
