Deployment / Use Cases
This Basic Rack PDU is ideally suited for staffed data centers, server rooms, and network closets where reliable power distribution takes priority over advanced monitoring capabilities. The unit's 11 kW capacity and 42-outlet configuration make it particularly valuable in high-density environments where multiple servers, storage arrays, and networking equipment require centralized power distribution.
The PDU serves effectively in non-critical applications where basic power distribution meets operational requirements without the need for remote monitoring or advanced power management features. Its design supports environments where IT staff can physically access the equipment for routine maintenance and monitoring, making it a practical choice for on-premises infrastructure deployments.
Data Center Power Distribution
Deploy in standard 19-inch server racks to provide centralized power for multiple equipment shelves, reducing the need for multiple power strips and simplifying cable management in organized data center environments.
Server Room Infrastructure
Install in enterprise server rooms to distribute power to rack-mounted servers, network switches, and storage devices, supporting growing IT infrastructure while maintaining clean, organized power cabling.
Physical Profile
The PDU features a slim vertical profile measuring 70 inches in height, 2.20 inches in width, and 1.73 inches in depth, designed specifically for side-of-rack mounting without interfering with equipment installation or airflow. The unit weighs approximately 12.39 pounds, making it manageable for single-person installation in most rack environments.
The vertical orientation and compact dimensions allow the PDU to fit neatly alongside standard 19-inch rack equipment while providing full-length power distribution. The included 3-foot power cord offers sufficient reach for connecting to nearby power sources without excessive cable slack that could impede airflow or accessibility.
