12-Outlet Metered PDU 1U
This 1U rack-mount power distribution unit provides twelve outlets with a built-in digital meter for real-time load monitoring. It accepts a 120V nominal input and delivers up to 125V output with a 15A maximum total current draw. The 2.4m attached cable ends in a standard North American plug for straightforward installation.
Horizontal Mounting with Surge Protection
Suited for server rooms and network cabinets that need horizontal power distribution and local current visibility. The 1080J surge protector helps guard connected hardware from transient voltage spikes. Not intended for installations requiring vertical mounting, IEC outlet types, or input voltages above 125V.
15A Maximum Current Rating
The unit supports a maximum total current of 15A with a regulatory derated input of 12A for North American codes. This single figure determines whether the PDU can handle your combined equipment load. Verify your rack’s aggregate draw before deployment.

Questions about this item
Does the 12-outlet metered PDU ship with mounting brackets and a 2.4 m power cord, or must any hardware be purchased separately?
The unit includes a 2.4 m power cord and is designed for 1U horizontal rack mounting; no extra mounting hardware or cables are required for standard installation.
When should I select the 125 V 15 A version instead of a lower-amperage model for my rack?
Choose this 125 V 15 A model when your connected equipment draws up to the 12 A derated continuous limit and you need twelve NEMA 5-15R outlets with local metering and 1080 J surge protection.
What does the 15 A rating mean once the PDU is powered in a 120 V North American rack?
The regulatory derated limit is 12 A continuous; the built-in meter displays real-time load so you can keep total draw below that threshold and avoid tripping the branch circuit.
