2.4kW 120V Single-Phase Basic PDU – 13 NEMA 5-15/20R Outlets, 5-20P Input, 6 ft. (1.83 m) Cord, 1U Rack-Mount

This basic rack power distribution unit is designed for straightforward, reliable power delivery in standard 120V rack environments. With a 2.4kW capacity, 13 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets, a NEMA 5-20P input plug, and a 6 ft. (1.83 m) cord, it is suited for feeding multiple devices from a single branch circuit while keeping cable routing clean in a 1U rack space.

Who it is for

This PDU is a practical choice for IT closets, AV racks, small server installations, network cabinets, and equipment enclosures where basic outlet distribution is needed without metering, switching, or remote management. It is especially useful for integrators and technicians who want a simple rack-mount power strip that fits standard rack layouts and provides multiple receptacles from one source.

Why buy this PDU

If your priority is dependable outlet expansion rather than advanced power monitoring, this model keeps the deployment simple. The 1U rack-mount format helps preserve valuable rack space, while the 13 outlet layout supports a mix of devices that commonly use NEMA 5-15P or 5-20P plugs. The 5-20P input and 6 ft. cord make it easier to connect to a compatible 120V branch circuit without excessive slack inside the rack.

Common use cases

• Rack power distribution for network switches, small routers, and ancillary IT gear
• AV equipment racks for processors, control devices, and support electronics
• Equipment closets where multiple low-to-moderate load devices share one circuit
• Utility rack installations that need a basic, space-efficient power solution

Deployment guidance

Before installation, confirm the branch circuit, receptacle type, and available load capacity match the PDU and connected devices. Plan outlet allocation so the total connected load stays within the circuit and PDU limits. The 1U form factor is best mounted in a standard rack or cabinet where horizontal space is limited and vertical space is available. Use the cord length to reach the source receptacle cleanly, and keep cable paths organized to avoid strain on plugs and nearby equipment.

Because this is a basic PDU, it is ideal when you already manage power upstream or do not require per-outlet control, monitoring, or redundant power features. It provides a clean, simple method to distribute 120V power to multiple rack-mounted devices while maintaining an organized installation.

Best fit summary

Choose this PDU when you need a straightforward 120V rack power distribution solution with multiple NEMA outlets, a 5-20P input, and a compact 1U mounting profile for dependable everyday installations.
