Metered 12-outlet 120V PDU

The Tripp Lite PDUMH20-6 is a 1U rackmount power distribution unit with twelve 5-15/20R outlets and a built-in two-digit ammeter that continuously shows the total load in amps. It accepts 100-127V single-phase input through a six-foot cord ending in a NEMA L5-20P plug and is tested to UL 60950-1 and CSA C22.2 No. 60950-1-03.

Upgrade from basic unmetered strips

Replacing a simple power strip with this metered PDU lets administrators see real-time current draw so circuits stay below the 16A continuous de-rating and the 20A overload protection threshold. The jump is worth it when equipment additions make blind power budgeting risky or when audit requirements demand visible load verification at the rack.

Sustained load visibility at 16A continuous

Under continuous operation the meter updates constantly, giving immediate feedback as servers, switches or storage arrays cycle through peak and idle states. The 20A breaker protects the branch circuit while the 5-95% humidity and 0-3000m elevation ratings confirm the unit tolerates typical data-centre environments without derating beyond the agency-specified 16A continuous limit.

Questions about this item

What rack width and height does the 17.50 x 1.75 inch PDU require?

The unit is 17.50 inches wide and 1.75 inches high, matching a 1U rack-mount space.

How do I connect the 6 ft cord with its NEMA L5-20P plug, and what step is often missed?

Plug the attached NEMA L5-20P connector into a 20A 120V receptacle; the step often missed is confirming the branch circuit is rated for 20A continuous (de-rated to 16A).

When should the internal 20A overload protection be checked or the unit replaced?

Inspect after any overload trip; replace if the two-digit meter reads inaccurately or if the housing shows heat damage.
