5.5kW Single-Phase 208/230V Basic PDU, 38 Outlets (32 C13 and 6 C19), NE

The PDUV30HV is a basic rack power distribution unit designed for installations that need dependable AC power delivery without the added complexity of monitoring, switching, or network management. With 5.5kW capacity on single-phase 208/230V power and a total of 38 outlets, it is built to serve mixed equipment racks that combine standard C13-connected devices with higher-draw gear that uses C19 connections.

For buyers outfitting server, network, or AV racks, this model focuses on what matters most in straightforward deployments: outlet count, outlet mix, and compatibility with common rack power environments. Its 32 C13 outlets and 6 C19 outlets give integrators and IT teams the flexibility to support a wide range of connected equipment from one PDU.

Ideal Use Cases

This model is a strong fit for rack environments where simple, high-density power distribution is the priority.

• Server and network racks with a mix of C13 and C19 powered devices
• AV equipment racks that need centralized power distribution for multiple components
• Equipment rooms and network closets where outlet availability is more important than remote management
• Projects that already handle power monitoring elsewhere and only need basic distribution at the rack level
• Installations where reducing extra power accessories helps keep the rack cleaner and easier to manage

Because it is a basic PDU, it is especially well suited to environments that value operational simplicity. If your application does not require switched outlets, metering, or remote access, this unit keeps deployment focused and practical.

Why Choose This Model

The main advantage of the PDUV30HV is its balance of power capacity and outlet flexibility. A 5.5kW rating at 208/230V supports demanding rack environments, while the 38-outlet configuration helps accommodate both lower-draw and higher-draw equipment in the same installation.

• 5.5kW capacity for substantial rack power needs
• Single-phase 208/230V operation for compatible rack power systems
• 38 total outlets to support dense equipment layouts
• 32 C13 outlets for common rack devices
• 6 C19 outlets for equipment that requires higher-current style connections

This outlet mix can simplify planning for racks that include switches, processors, controllers, servers, and other equipment with varied power connector requirements. Instead of piecing together multiple smaller distribution products, buyers can support a broader range of devices from one unit.

Installation and Integration

Before deployment, confirm that the installation site provides the required single-phase 208/230V power and that the combined connected load remains within the unit’s 5.5kW capacity. This is an important step in matching the PDU to the rack’s actual power profile.

For best integration results, identify in advance which devices need C13 connections and which require C19 connections. In mixed racks, reserving the 6 C19 outlets for the appropriate equipment can help avoid last-minute changes during installation. The 32 C13 outlets can then be assigned across the remaining devices to make the most of the available outlet count.

Thoughtful cable routing is also important in dense racks. Planning around cord length, rack layout, and device placement can help maintain a cleaner installation and reduce unnecessary strain on power cords. In many projects, a higher outlet count like this can also reduce the need for additional power accessories, helping streamline the overall rack build.

Performance Highlights

• Supports up to 5.5kW of rack power distribution
• Operates on single-phase 208/230V power
• Provides 38 total outlets for high device counts
• Includes 32 C13 outlets for standard equipment connections
• Includes 6 C19 outlets for compatible higher-draw devices
• Basic design avoids the overhead of monitoring and switching features

These specifications make it a practical choice for buyers who need reliable distribution and broad device compatibility, but do not want to pay for features their project will not use.

What Makes It Different

What separates this model from more feature-heavy options is its straightforward purpose. The PDUV30HV is designed to distribute power efficiently in rack environments without introducing extra management layers. That makes it appealing for standardized deployments, controlled infrastructure rooms, and installations where simplicity can be an advantage.

Its combination of 32 C13 and 6 C19 outlets also gives it strong utility in mixed-load racks. Rather than forcing a choice between mostly C13 or mostly C19 connectivity, this model supports both in a single basic PDU, which can make it easier to align with real-world equipment lists.

Final Assessment

If you need a basic rack PDU for a 208/230V single-phase environment and want substantial outlet capacity in one unit, the PDUV30HV is a practical solution. Its 5.5kW rating, 38 total outlets, and mix of 32 C13 plus 6 C19 connections make it well suited for server, network, and AV racks with varied device requirements.

For buyers who prioritize straightforward deployment, compatibility, and outlet density over advanced monitoring or switching functions, this model delivers a clean and purposeful fit.
