3.8kW Single-Phase 208/240V Basic PDU, 14 Outlets (12 C13 & 2 C19), NEMA

This basic power distribution unit is designed for rack environments that need straightforward, reliable AC power delivery from a single-phase 208/240V source. With 14 total outlets, including 12 IEC C13 outlets and 2 IEC C19 outlets, it is suited for mixed IT loads where most devices use standard server-style power cords but a few higher-demand components require C19 connectivity. The NEMA input format makes it appropriate for installations that rely on compatible NEMA power infrastructure.

Who it is for

This PDU is a practical fit for IT teams, system integrators, and facility managers looking to power equipment in network closets, small server racks, branch office racks, or edge computing cabinets. It is especially useful where a simple, non-metered distribution solution is preferred and where the load profile is compatible with a 3.8kW single-phase feed.

Why buy this PDU

Buy this unit when you need a clean way to distribute power to multiple rack-mounted devices without adding advanced monitoring features you do not need. The combination of C13 and C19 outlets helps support common mixed-device deployments, reducing the need for extra adapters or secondary power strips. It is well suited to installations that value outlet count, connector compatibility, and dependable basic distribution over smart power management.

Common use cases

• Network equipment racks with switches, routers, firewalls, and small servers
• Edge and branch deployments where cabinet space is limited and power needs are predictable
• AV or communications racks that mix standard and higher-current powered devices
• General rack power distribution in closets, labs, and controlled technical spaces

Deployment guidance

Before installation, confirm that the rack power source matches the required single-phase 208/240V supply and that the upstream circuit can support the connected load. Because this is a basic PDU, it is best used where power consumption is already understood and monitored elsewhere. Plan cord routing so C13 and C19 connections reach each device cleanly without strain, and reserve the C19 outlets for equipment that requires that connector type. As with any rack power device, verify compatibility with local electrical standards and the connected equipment’s inlet requirements before deployment.

Operational notes

This PDU is intended for straightforward distribution rather than power analytics, remote switching, or advanced management. That makes it a good choice for installations that want a simple infrastructure component with fewer configuration requirements. Its value is in delivering the right outlet mix and voltage compatibility in a rack-friendly format for everyday IT and AV power distribution needs.
