Product Features
Technical Overview
This PDU employs a basic design focused on reliable power distribution without advanced monitoring or management features. The technical architecture centers on dual 20A circuits that collectively support up to 40A total capacity, with each circuit serving 20 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets. The 3.8kW power rating ensures sufficient capacity for dense server, networking, and storage deployments.
Input power is delivered through two NEMA L5-20P plugs, each connecting to a dedicated 20A circuit. The PDU maintains consistent 120V AC output across all 40 outlets, with overload protection safeguarding connected equipment against excessive current draw. This configuration provides a robust foundation for power distribution in standard rack environments.
This section brings together practical product details such as PDU Type, Plug/Connector Type, Plug/Connector Detail, Input Voltage, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.
Key Product Advantages
The PDU40TDUAL combines high outlet density with practical rack integration to address common data center and server room power challenges. Its dual-circuit design provides operational flexibility that single-circuit PDUs cannot match.
High-Density Power Distribution
With 40 outlets in a compact vertical form factor, this PDU maximizes power access in space-constrained rack environments while maintaining proper circuit separation.
- 40 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets
- 20 outlets per circuit
- Zero U rack space consumption
Dual-Circuit Architecture
The two independent 20A circuits function as separate PDU systems within one housing, allowing for load balancing, circuit redundancy, or equipment segregation.
- Two 20A circuits
- Independent operation
- Load distribution flexibility
Rack-Optimized Design
The vertical zero U mounting preserves valuable rack space for equipment while providing full-length power access along the rack's vertical profile.
- Vertical mounting orientation
- Zero U footprint
- 65" width for full rack coverage
Deployment / Use Cases
This PDU is engineered for standard rack environments where high outlet density and basic power distribution are primary requirements. The dual-circuit design makes it particularly suitable for installations needing circuit separation without requiring multiple PDU units.
Typical deployments include server racks with mixed equipment, network closets with multiple switches and routers, and storage arrays requiring distributed power connections. The 40-outlet capacity supports dense configurations where equipment count exceeds typical PDU capabilities, while the basic design ensures compatibility with existing power infrastructure without complex configuration.
Server Rack Power Distribution
Ideal for dense server installations where multiple 1U and 2U servers require individual power connections, with the dual circuits allowing for balanced power loading across equipment groups.
Network Equipment Deployment
Well-suited for network racks containing numerous switches, routers, and other networking gear, providing ample outlets for patch panels, PoE injectors, and management devices.
Physical Profile
The PDU40TDUAL features a slim vertical profile measuring 3" high, 65" wide, and 1.50" deep, designed specifically for zero U rack mounting. This dimensions allow installation along the full height of standard racks without consuming equipment mounting space. The 8 lb weight ensures manageable installation while the vertical orientation provides optimal outlet accessibility along the rack's vertical plane.

FAQ
What is the total power capacity of the PDU40TDUAL?
The PDU40TDUAL has a 3.8kW power rating, which represents the maximum continuous power it can deliver to connected equipment. This capacity is distributed across two 20A circuits operating at 120V AC, providing sufficient power for dense rack deployments of servers, networking gear, and storage devices.
How many outlets does this PDU provide and what type are they?
This PDU provides 40 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets, with 20 outlets allocated to each of the two independent 20A circuits. The NEMA 5-15/20R receptacles support both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs, offering compatibility with standard North American equipment power cords.
What does 'dual circuit' mean for this PDU?
The dual-circuit design means the PDU40TDUAL functions as two separate 20A PDU systems within a single housing. Each circuit operates independently with its own 20A capacity and serves 20 outlets, allowing for load balancing between circuits, equipment segregation, or redundant power distribution strategies in rack environments.
How is this PDU mounted in a rack?
The PDU40TDUAL is designed for zero U vertical rack mounting, meaning it installs along the vertical rails of a standard 19-inch rack without consuming any rack units (U) of equipment space. It mounts vertically with the provided hardware and measures 65" wide to span the full height of typical racks.
What input connections does this PDU require?
The PDU requires two NEMA L5-20P input connections, one for each 20A circuit. These are typically connected to separate 20A circuits in your facility's power distribution. The package includes two NEMA L5-20R to NEMA 5-20P plug set adapters to facilitate connections to various power sources.
What protection features does this basic PDU include?
The PDU40TDUAL includes overload protection to safeguard connected equipment against excessive current draw. This basic protection ensures the PDU can handle its rated 3.8kW capacity while preventing damage from short circuits or equipment faults that might exceed the 40A total circuit capacity.
What power capacity is listed for this UPS?
The listed power specification is 3.80 kW, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
What voltage details are listed?
The listed power specification is 120 V AC, which helps position the unit for the right load level and installation role.
