High-Density Power Distribution
Twelve IEC 60320 C13 outlets enable efficient power distribution for multiple rack-mounted devices, reducing the need for additional PDUs or power strips in crowded rack environments.
Flexible Mounting Options
Includes both horizontal and vertical mounting brackets, allowing installation in standard 19-inch racks with either orientation to match specific rack layout requirements and cable management preferences.
Comprehensive Protection
Overload protection circuitry monitors current draw and helps prevent damage to connected equipment from excessive power consumption, adding a layer of safety to your power infrastructure.
Deployment / Use Cases
The PDU20BHVT12R serves as a fundamental power distribution solution for various IT infrastructure scenarios. In small to medium business server rooms, it provides centralized power access for essential equipment while maintaining a minimal rack footprint. For colocation facilities, its basic design offers reliable power distribution without complex monitoring features that may not be required in all environments.
Telecommunications installations benefit from the PDU's vertical mounting capability, which aligns with standard telecom rack configurations. The unit's 200-230V AC input range accommodates common commercial power standards, making it suitable for office buildings, educational institutions, and healthcare facilities with standard rack-mounted IT equipment.
Server Rack Power Distribution
Ideal for distributing power to multiple servers, switches, and storage devices within a single rack enclosure, particularly in data centers, server rooms, and network closets where reliable power access is critical.
Network Infrastructure Support
Well-suited for powering networking equipment racks containing routers, switches, firewalls, and other network devices that require multiple power connections in a compact footprint.
Physical Profile
Measuring 17.50" wide, 1.75" high, and 1.50" deep, the PDU20BHVT12R occupies minimal space within standard 19-inch server racks. The 1U vertical orientation positions the outlets along the rack's vertical plane, providing clear access for cable connection and management. At approximately 3.70 pounds, the unit adds negligible weight to rack configurations while maintaining structural integrity.
The vertical mounting design optimizes front-to-back airflow in rack enclosures by minimizing horizontal obstructions. The slim 1.50" depth ensures compatibility with shallow rack cabinets while still accommodating the IEC C13 outlets and internal circuitry. The unit's construction supports secure mounting with the included screw kit for stable installation in vibration-prone environments.
