Metered 20 A vertical PDU

This metered power distribution unit delivers 120 V AC at up to 20 A through twenty-eight NEMA 5-15/20R receptacles. A built-in digital current meter displays real-time load so operators can balance circuits at a glance. The six-foot aluminium housing mounts in 0 U vertical orientation using included button-mount hardware for tool-free setup. A 15 ft input cord with both NEMA 5-20P and L5-20P plugs connects to standard 20 A branch circuits.

Suited for dense rack rows, not surge-sensitive gear

The unit fits server rooms and network closets that need high outlet density and local current monitoring without horizontal rack-space loss. Facilities requiring outlet-level metering or integrated surge suppression should look elsewhere because this model provides only aggregate current readout and no surge protection. Installations limited to 15 A branch circuits cannot use the full 20 A rating.

2 400 W capacity with 16 A continuous headroom

The PDU supports a maximum apparent load of 2 400 VA at 120 V, while the internal 20 A breaker and agency derating limit continuous draw to 16 A. Twenty-eight outlets give ample connection points for access switches, patch panels and low-power servers, but high-density GPU nodes or blade chassis will exhaust the current budget before the receptacle count. The 50/60 Hz rating covers both North American and international mains frequencies.

Questions about this item

What input plug and circuit capacity does my facility need for the 20 A PDU?

The unit ships with a NEMA L5-20P plug and includes a 5-20P adapter, so a 20 A, 120 V branch circuit with either receptacle will power it.

Can I plug legacy 5-15R devices into the 20 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets without adapters?

Yes, each 5-15/20R outlet accepts both 5-15 and 5-20 plugs, so older 15 A equipment fits directly.

How do I verify the PDU is metering load correctly after installation?

The built-in digital current meter displays real-time amperage; confirm it reads between 0 and 16 A while equipment is running.
