Key Product Advantages
The Minuteman OEPD1815V48 combines high outlet density with space-saving vertical mounting, offering practical benefits for rack installations. Its design prioritizes reliability and compliance, backed by a lifetime warranty.
High-Density Power Distribution
With 18 outlets, this PDU supports multiple devices in a single rack, reducing the need for additional power strips and simplifying power management.
- 18 NEMA 5-15R outlets
- Standard North American plug compatibility
- Consolidates power for rack equipment
Space-Optimized Mounting
The vertical 0U mount installs along the rack side, freeing up horizontal U-space for servers and other critical hardware while maintaining easy outlet access.
- Vertical orientation saves rack U-space
- 0U height preserves equipment slots
- Improves rack organization and airflow
Deployment / Use Cases
This vertical PDU is suited for environments where rack space is at a premium and efficient power distribution is essential. It integrates seamlessly into standard 19-inch racks, supporting a wide range of IT and networking equipment.
Common deployments include data centers requiring high-density power in limited rack space, server rooms with multiple devices per rack, and network closets where organized power management improves reliability. The vertical mount is particularly useful in full racks where every U of horizontal space is allocated to active hardware.
Data Center Racks
Ideal for data centers with densely packed racks, providing power to servers, switches, and storage without consuming horizontal U-space.
Network Infrastructure
Supports networking equipment in telecom closets or enterprise networks, ensuring clean power distribution for routers, firewalls, and patch panels.

FAQ
How many outlets does this PDU have and what type are they?
This PDU has 18 NEMA 5-15R outlets. These are standard North American outlets compatible with common plugs for servers, switches, and other rack-mounted equipment, providing high-density power distribution in a single unit.
What is the input voltage and current rating for this PDU?
The input voltage is 120V AC, and the input current rating is 12A. This configuration supports typical power needs for rack devices in North American electrical systems, ensuring stable operation without overloading.
How is this PDU mounted in a rack?
This PDU is designed for vertical mounting along the side of a standard 19-inch rack. It uses a 0U rack height, meaning it does not consume any horizontal rack units, which preserves space for servers and other hardware while keeping outlets accessible.
What does 0U rack height mean for installation?
0U rack height indicates that the PDU mounts vertically outside the main rack space, typically on the side or rear rails. This allows all horizontal U-slots to remain available for active equipment like servers, making it ideal for densely packed racks.
Is this PDU environmentally compliant?
Yes, this PDU is RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant. This means it meets environmental standards by limiting the use of hazardous materials, making it safer for disposal and aligning with green IT initiatives.
What warranty is provided with this PDU?
This PDU comes with a lifetime limited warranty. This coverage ensures long-term reliability and support, reducing total cost of ownership and providing peace of mind for critical power distribution in rack environments.
