Metered 1U Rack PDU

The StarTech 8NM8-RACK-MOUNT-PDU is a horizontal 1U power distribution unit designed for server racks and network cabinets. It provides eight NEMA 5-15R outlets fed from a single NEMA 5-15P input with an eight-foot cord. A backlit LCD shows real-time volts, amps, watts and power factor for the whole strip.

Build Integration

The unit mounts in a standard 1U horizontal slot and draws 125 V at up to 15 A from a wall receptacle or upstream UPS. Eight front-facing outlets free rear-panel space on patch panels and switches while the integrated resettable breaker protects downstream gear. No external monitoring software is required because the LCD is self-contained.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous operation the metered display lets operators track aggregate current against the 15 A limit before the breaker trips. Surge protection uses self-tripping MOVs that sacrifice themselves once, so the indicator LED must be checked after any transient event. The cord length of 2.4 m reaches most floor-mounted sources without strain.

Questions about this item

How much total current can the 8NM8-RACK-MOUNT-PDU supply before its 15A breaker trips?

The unit provides up to 15A combined across all eight NEMA 5-15R outlets; the built-in resettable breaker will open if the aggregate draw exceeds 15A at 125V.

What is the typical operating noise and heat output when the PDU runs continuously at full load?

The PDU has no fans; it operates silently and produces only minimal warmth from the metering electronics and surge-protection components during continuous 15A operation.

Which input receptacle must already be available on the rack power source for the 2.4 m cord to connect?

A standard NEMA 5-15R wall or UPS outlet is required to accept the 5-15P plug on the 2.4 m input cable.
