Data Center Racks
Provide power to servers, storage arrays, and network switches in standard 19-inch racks, with outlet types matching common server power cords.
Network & Telecom Closets
Distribute power to switches, routers, and other networking hardware in confined spaces where rack real estate is limited.
Physical Profile
The PDU20BHVT8R measures 17.5 inches wide, 1.75 inches high, and 1.5 inches deep, fitting precisely into 19-inch rack widths. Its 1U vertical design minimizes space consumption while allowing outlets to face sideways for easy cable access. The unit weighs 3.70 pounds, making it lightweight for installation and repositioning.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1U, 17.50" (444.50 mm), 3.70 lb (1678.29 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.

User Manual
FAQ
What types of equipment can I power with this PDU?
This PDU supports standard IT and networking equipment through its six IEC C13 outlets, suitable for devices like switches, routers, and monitors. The two IEC C19 outlets accommodate higher-power devices such as servers, UPS units, or power supplies that require C19 connectors. The 20A capacity allows multiple devices to operate simultaneously within the derated 16A limit.
Is this PDU compatible with my rack?
Yes, the PDU20BHVT8R is designed for vertical mounting in standard 19-inch wide equipment racks. Its 1U height (1.75 inches) occupies minimal rack space, and the 17.5-inch width ensures proper fit. The unit includes mounting hardware for secure installation in racks with square or round holes.
What input voltage does this PDU require?
The PDU accepts 200-230V AC input, with a nominal rating of 230V AC. This range covers common commercial and data center power configurations in North America and internationally. The unit operates at 50Hz or 60Hz, making it compatible with standard power grids in most regions.
Does this PDU offer any protection features?
Yes, it includes overload protection to prevent damage from excessive current draw. This safeguards connected equipment by interrupting power if the load exceeds safe levels. The PDU does not include surge protection or voltage regulation; it is a basic power distribution unit focused on reliable outlet expansion.
