1.5kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU, 100-127V Outlets (13 5-15R), 5-15P, 100-127V Input, 15 ft. (4.57 m) Cord, 1U Rack-Mount

1.5kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU, 100-127V Outlets (13 x 5-15R), 5-15P, 100-127V Input, 15 ft. Cord, 1U Rack-Mount

This local metered PDU is designed for rack environments that need straightforward AC power distribution with local visibility into load. With 13 front-facing NEMA 5-15R outlets, a 5-15P input plug, and support for 100-127V input/output operation, it is a practical fit for compact AV racks, network closets, small server installations, and integration cabinets where dependable branch power and basic metering are required.

The 1U rack-mount format helps preserve valuable vertical space, while the 15 ft. cord provides flexibility when the power source is not immediately adjacent to the rack. Local metering is useful when technicians need a quick read on power consumption at the rack without relying on network access or remote management tools. That makes this unit especially appropriate for smaller deployments, temporary installations, and systems where simple, direct power monitoring is preferred over more complex managed infrastructure.

Who it is for

• AV integrators building compact equipment racks with standard North American power requirements
• IT and facilities teams supporting small racks, closets, or workgroup systems
• Installers who need a 1U power distribution solution with local load awareness
• Environments using 100-127V equipment that terminates on NEMA 5-15R connections

Why buy this PDU

• Distributes power to 13 devices from a single rack-mounted unit
• Local metering helps technicians verify load at the rack during setup and service
• 1U design supports tidy rack layouts and efficient space usage
• 15 ft. cord can simplify installation when the outlet location is offset from the rack
• Standard 5-15R receptacles make it compatible with many common AV and IT devices

Typical use cases

• Distribution of AC power to network switches, small servers, controllers, and peripherals
• Integration racks in classrooms, conference rooms, and small meeting spaces
• Equipment closets where technicians need rack-level power monitoring without remote management
• Temporary staging racks and field deployments using standard wall power

Deployment guidance

For best results, confirm that the connected equipment falls within the unit’s 100-127V operating range and that the branch circuit can support the total connected load. Because this is a local metered PDU rather than a network-managed power device, it is best suited to applications where a visible, on-rack readout is sufficient. Plan the rack layout so the 1U mounting position allows clean cable routing to connected devices, and use the 15 ft. cord to reach the nearest appropriate source without placing strain on the plug or receptacle.

When deploying in AV or IT racks, it is a good practice to balance connected loads and leave margin for startup draw where applicable. The 13 outlets provide ample distribution for small-to-medium rack builds, but the overall system design should always be validated against the power requirements of the installed equipment and the circuit feeding the PDU.

Important note

This product data does not include additional features such as remote management, outlet switching, or environmental monitoring, so those capabilities should not be assumed. It is positioned as a local metered, rack-mount power distribution unit for straightforward installations that need reliable outlet count, cord reach, and basic load visibility.
