User Manual
FAQ
What type of power input does this rack PDU require?
This power distribution unit uses a NEMA 5-20P input plug that connects to standard 120V AC outlets. The included 8ft power cord features a NEMA 5-20P connector on one end and an IEC 60320 C19 connector on the PDU end. It requires a 20A circuit for optimal operation, though it can function on 15A circuits while respecting the 16A maximum input current rating.
How many devices can I connect to this 10-outlet PDU?
You can connect up to 10 devices simultaneously using the NEMA 5-15/20R outlets. However, the total connected load must not exceed the 16A maximum input current. For devices with higher power requirements, you should calculate the cumulative amperage to ensure it stays within the 16A limit. The outlets support both 15A and 20A plugs without requiring adapters.
What rack types is this power strip compatible with?
This PDU is compatible with standard 19" server racks, including both 2-post and 4-post designs. It requires a minimum rack depth of 4" (10.2cm) for proper installation. The 1U horizontal mounting uses standard rack screw holes spaced according to ANSI/EIA RS-310-D specifications, ensuring compatibility with most commercial server racks and network cabinets.
Does this rack PDU include overload protection?
Yes, the unit features a built-in 20A circuit breaker that provides overload protection. If the total current draw exceeds safe levels, the circuit breaker will automatically trip to prevent damage to connected equipment. This protection mechanism helps safeguard servers, switches, and other critical infrastructure from electrical faults while maintaining compliance with safety standards.
What warranty and support comes with this StarTech.com PDU?
StarTech.com backs this rack mount power strip with a 2-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Additionally, the product includes free lifetime 24/5 multi-lingual technical assistance. This support provides installation guidance, troubleshooting help, and product information during business hours, giving IT professionals reliable access to expert assistance when needed.
Can this PDU be used in international locations?
This power strip is designed for North American power systems with 120V AC input and 50-60Hz frequency ranges. While it carries EU RoHS environmental certifications, the electrical specifications are optimized for North American voltage standards. For use in other regions, you would need appropriate voltage conversion equipment and should verify local electrical code compliance before deployment.
