1U Rackmount Power Distribution

The Tripp Lite PDU1220T is a basic 1U rackmount power distribution unit rated for 20 amps at 120 volts. It accepts a NEMA L5-20P locking plug on a 15-foot cord and provides thirteen NEMA 5-15/20R outlets. Twelve outlets face the rear and one faces the front for convenient access. The unit includes a 20-amp circuit breaker and carries UL and CSA certifications.

Suited For Standard Rack Installations

This PDU suits network closets and server rooms that need reliable 120-volt power distribution in a single rack space. The switchless design prevents accidental shutdowns of connected equipment. It is not for installations requiring remote monitoring, outlet-level switching, or metered power reporting. Buyers needing higher voltage input or different outlet types should consider other models.

Input Connector Determines Compatibility

The NEMA L5-20P locking plug requires a matching 20-amp twist-lock receptacle on the upstream power source. Without that specific outlet, the unit cannot be connected. Verify the facility provides a compatible L5-20R receptacle before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick a PDU with more or fewer than 13 outlets for my rack?

Choose the 13-outlet version when you need 12 rear connections plus a front-facing port for temporary devices; add a second unit only if your device count exceeds 13.

What does the 2.4 kW rating mean once the unit is installed?

At 120 V the 20 A breaker limits continuous draw to 2.4 kW, so the total connected load must stay below that figure to avoid tripping.

How does the NEMA L5-20P plug limit what I can connect?

The locking L5-20P requires a matching 20 A 120 V receptacle; it will not fit standard 15 A wall outlets or higher-voltage circuits.
