12.6kW 3-Phase Local Metered PDU, 208V Outlets (36 C13 & 9 C19) Hubbell 50A CS8365C, 6 ft

Ideal Use Cases

The PDU3MV6H50 is built for professional rack and cabinet environments that need high-capacity power distribution with straightforward, on-site load visibility. With 12.6kW of 3-phase power, 208V output, and local metering, this model is well suited for installations where multiple devices must be powered from a single organized source while allowing technicians to check load status directly at the rack.

This outlet configuration is especially useful in mixed-device deployments. The combination of 36 IEC C13 outlets and 9 IEC C19 outlets supports a broad range of equipment types commonly found in IT and AV systems.

• Server racks with a mix of standard and higher-draw equipment
• IT closets and network cabinets that need centralized power distribution
• Control rooms where local power visibility is important during service
• Rack-mounted AV systems with processors, switching gear, and supporting hardware
• Technical spaces that benefit from a single PDU with a high outlet count

Why Choose This Model

One of the strongest reasons to choose this model is its balance of capacity, outlet density, and practical monitoring. A 12.6kW, 3-phase design helps support demanding rack builds, while local metering gives staff immediate insight into load conditions without depending on external software or network-based monitoring tools.

The outlet mix also adds flexibility during system design. The 36 C13 outlets make it easier to support standard rack electronics, while the 9 C19 outlets provide compatibility for equipment that requires that connector type. This can reduce the need to split loads across multiple smaller units and simplify the overall power layout inside the rack.

For buyers planning around existing infrastructure, the Hubbell 50A CS8365C input and included 6 ft cord provide clear installation parameters from the start. That makes this model easier to evaluate for compatibility with established 208V, 3-phase power environments.

Installation and Integration

This PDU is intended for rack and cabinet deployment in environments already equipped for 3-phase 208V power. Before installation, confirm compatibility with the Hubbell 50A CS8365C input connection and verify that the 6 ft cord length suits the rack layout and power source location.

During integration, the outlet mix can help organize equipment by connector type and power needs. In many deployments, C13 outlets are used for common rack-mounted electronics, while C19 outlets are reserved for devices that require that format. Local metering is an advantage in serviceable environments because technicians can review load information directly at the rack.

• Designed for 3-phase 208V power distribution
• Uses a Hubbell 50A CS8365C input
• Includes a 6 ft power cord
• Supports mixed connector requirements with 36 C13 and 9 C19 outlets
• Provides local metering for on-site load visibility

For organized installations, this model can help consolidate power access within one enclosure and reduce clutter compared with using multiple lower-capacity distribution units.

Performance Highlights

The core performance advantage here is efficient distribution of 12.6kW across a high outlet count in a 3-phase format. That makes this PDU a practical choice for dense racks where power planning, outlet availability, and load awareness all matter.

• 12.6kW power capacity
• 208V output
• 3-phase distribution for professional rack environments
• 36 IEC C13 outlets for standard equipment connections
• 9 IEC C19 outlets for additional device compatibility
• Local metering for direct, at-rack monitoring

These features make it easier to support a broad equipment mix while keeping power distribution centralized and easier to manage. For IT teams, AV integrators, and facilities staff, that can translate into cleaner rack organization and faster visual checks during maintenance.

What Makes It Different

What separates this model from more basic rack PDUs is the combination of 3-phase 12.6kW capacity, local metering, and a substantial 45-outlet total count. Rather than focusing on simple outlet expansion alone, it addresses a more specific need: powering a larger number of rack devices while retaining immediate, local insight into load status.

The connector balance is another meaningful differentiator. Many installations contain a mix of equipment that cannot be served efficiently by a single outlet type. By offering both C13 and C19 outlets, this unit is better aligned with real-world rack builds that include network hardware, servers, AV components, and other professional gear in one cabinet.

The defined input connection and cord length also help buyers assess fit quickly. When a deployment already uses a Hubbell 50A CS8365C power source, this model presents a direct, clearly specified option for integration.

Final Assessment

The PDU3MV6H50 is a strong fit for buyers who need a 12.6kW, 3-phase local metered PDU for 208V rack power distribution. Its combination of 36 IEC C13 outlets, 9 IEC C19 outlets, a Hubbell 50A CS8365C input, and a 6 ft cord makes it a practical choice for server racks, IT closets, control rooms, and AV systems that require organized power delivery with on-site visibility.

If your environment calls for centralized rack power, support for mixed connector types, and local load monitoring in a professional enclosure, this model offers a focused feature set built around those exact needs.
