Product Features
Technical Overview
This PDU operates on a 120V AC input with a maximum current rating of 15A, providing a total power capacity suitable for distributing power to multiple devices without overloading circuits. The unit includes nine AC power receptacles, each compatible with standard NEMA 5-15 plugs, allowing simultaneous connection of servers, switches, and other rack-mounted gear.
The horizontal mounting design optimizes space within standard 19-inch rack widths, while the 9-foot input cord offers flexibility in positioning relative to power sources. Basic surge protection helps safeguard connected equipment from minor voltage spikes, though it is not a substitute for dedicated UPS systems in critical applications.
This section brings together practical product details such as Plug/Connector Type, Receptacles, Cord Length, Input Voltage, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.
