Product Features
Technical Overview
This PDU features a NEMA 5-15P plug for standard 120V AC power input, with a maximum input current rating of 15 amps. The 24 NEMA 5-15R outlets support standard North American power cords, providing compatibility with most server, networking, and peripheral equipment.
The vertical mounting design occupies 0U of rack space, with physical dimensions of 72 inches in height and 1 inch in width. The unit weighs approximately 3.30 pounds, making it lightweight yet durable for rack installation. Environmental certifications include EU RoHS compliance, meeting Restriction of Hazardous Substances standards.
Relevant factors for this section include Plug/Connector Type, Receptacles, Cord Length, Input Voltage. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
This PDU combines practical power distribution with intelligent space management. The vertical mounting approach eliminates the need for dedicated horizontal rack units, while the generous outlet count supports equipment expansion without requiring additional PDUs. The included mounting hardware ensures secure installation in standard 19-inch racks.
High-Density Power Distribution
With 24 outlets in a vertical form factor, this PDU maximizes power access without consuming horizontal rack space, ideal for densely populated server environments.
Space-Efficient Installation
The 0U vertical mounting design preserves valuable rack real estate for active equipment while providing organized power distribution along the rack side.
Extended Reach Flexibility
The 10-foot power cord allows for flexible placement relative to power sources, accommodating various rack configurations and data center layouts.
Deployment / Use Cases
This vertical PDU is specifically designed for environments where rack space optimization is critical. The 0U mounting profile makes it particularly valuable in fully populated server racks where every horizontal rack unit is allocated to servers, storage arrays, or networking gear.
Installation scenarios include data centers with high-density server deployments, colocation facilities requiring organized power distribution, and IT closets where equipment expansion has consumed available horizontal PDU slots. The vertical orientation also facilitates easier cable management along the rack side.
Server Rack Power Expansion
Ideal for adding supplemental power outlets to existing server racks that have limited or fully utilized horizontal PDU space, particularly in 42U cabinet configurations.
Network Closet Organization
Suitable for network closets and small server rooms where vertical space is available but horizontal rack units are at a premium for active networking equipment.
Physical Profile
The PDU features a slim black housing measuring 72 inches in height and 1 inch in width, designed specifically for vertical mounting along server rack sides. The compact profile minimizes obstruction while providing full-length power distribution. The black finish maintains a professional appearance that coordinates with most rack-mounted equipment.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 0U, 1" (25.40 mm), 3.30 lb (1496.85 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
