FAQ
What does the digital meter on this PDU display?
The digital meter shows real-time amperage draw, allowing you to monitor the total current being used by devices connected to the PDU. This helps prevent circuit overloads by ensuring you stay within the 15A input capacity, with a derated continuous rating of 12A for safe operation.
How many outlets does this PDU have and what type are they?
This PDU features ten NEMA 5-15R outlets, which are the standard three-prong receptacles used throughout North America. They support typical IT equipment plugs, making the unit compatible with servers, switches, routers, and other rack-mounted devices.
What is the input voltage range for this power distribution unit?
The PDU operates within a 100-125V AC input voltage range, matching standard North American electrical systems. Both input and output voltages are identical in this range, providing direct pass-through power without voltage conversion.
Can this PDU be mounted both horizontally and vertically?
Yes, the PDU includes mounting brackets for both horizontal and vertical orientations. The default mounting is vertical, which optimizes airflow and accessibility in most racks, but the included hardware allows flexible installation to suit your rack layout.
What protection features does this PDU offer?
The PDU includes overload protection to safeguard connected equipment from excessive current draw. This protection helps prevent damage to devices by interrupting power if the load exceeds safe levels, complementing the monitoring capability of the digital meter.
