Dual-Circuit Power Distribution

This basic PDU delivers 120 V AC power through two independent 20 A circuits in a single vertical enclosure. It is designed for server racks and network cabinets where equipment uses dual redundant power supplies. The 0U form factor mounts without consuming rack units.

Rugged Metal Housing and Mounting

A steel chassis provides durability for permanent installation in EIA-standard 19-inch racks. Toolless 0U vertical mounting hardware is included for quick deployment. Two 10 ft input cords with NEMA L5-20P and 5-20P plugs connect to separate utility or UPS sources. Colour-coded circuit breakers and outlets simplify load balancing.

Circuit-Breaker Limits and Outlet Count

Each 20 A breaker protects its own set of 20 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets, capping usable capacity at 3.8 kW per circuit. The switchless design prevents accidental power loss but offers no remote monitoring or outlet-level control. Installations requiring metered power, switched outlets or single-circuit feeds above 20 A will need a different unit.

Questions about this item

What does the dual NEMA L5-20P and 5-20P input with 20 A breakers cap the usable power at per circuit?

Each of the two circuits is protected by a 20 A breaker, so you can draw up to 20 A per circuit for a combined 40 A maximum input.

What rack dimensions does the 70-inch vertical unit need for toolless 0U mounting?

It fits EIA-standard 19-inch racks and occupies zero rack units vertically; the included mounting hardware secures it to the rack’s side rails.

How do you wire the two input cords so each breaker protects the correct colour-coded outlets?

Plug each input cord into a separate branch circuit; the grey breaker protects the grey outlets and the black breaker protects the black outlets.
