PDU Basic 120V 30A 5-15R 24 Outlet L5-30P Horizontal 1URM

Basic Horizontal Rack PDU for High-Density 120V Power Distribution

The PDU Basic 120V 30A 5-15R 24 Outlet L5-30P Horizontal 1URM is a straightforward rack-mount power distribution unit designed for AV and IT installations that need reliable, no-frills AC power delivery inside a standard equipment rack. With a horizontal 1U mounting format and 24 total outlets, this unit is well suited for systems that place a high number of powered devices in a compact space. It is a practical choice for integrators who want to distribute a single 120V feed across multiple components without adding unnecessary complexity.

Who it is for

This PDU is ideal for rack builders, integrators, IT technicians, and facilities teams supporting equipment racks that need organized outlet access. It works well in AV racks, telecom closets, control spaces, and equipment enclosures where many devices require a dependable power source. Because it is a basic PDU, it is best suited for deployments where monitoring, switching, or remote control are not required.

Why buy this PDU

The main value of this unit is simple, dependable power distribution in a compact horizontal footprint. A 1U rackmount design helps conserve vertical rack space while still offering 24 outlets for multiple devices. The 30A input and L5-30P plug make it appropriate for installations that already have a compatible 120V circuit and need to fan out power to rack equipment. This is especially useful when you want to reduce cable clutter and centralize power connections in one organized location.

Common use cases

• AV equipment racks for processors, switchers, network gear, and ancillary devices
• Small to mid-size IT racks requiring distributed 120V outlet access
• Utility racks in control rooms, labs, and support spaces
• Equipment cabinets where a horizontal PDU is preferred over vertical mounting

Deployment guidance

Before installation, confirm that the rack has a free 1U horizontal mounting location and that the upstream circuit is compatible with the PDU’s 120V, 30A requirements and L5-30P connection. Plan cable routing so device power cords can reach the outlets without strain, especially in densely populated racks. Because the outlet type is 5-15R, verify that the equipment being powered uses compatible plugs or appropriate power cords. For best results, leave service slack and maintain separation from signal cabling to keep the rack orderly and easier to maintain.

What to expect

This is a basic PDU, so it is focused on distribution rather than monitoring or advanced power management. Buyers looking for remote power control, metering, or sequencing should consider whether those features are required for the application. If the goal is simply to deliver stable rack power in a clean, space-efficient format, this model is a sensible fit.

Overall, the PDU Basic 120V 30A 5-15R 24 Outlet L5-30P Horizontal 1URM is a practical building block for organized rack power in compatible 120V systems, especially where outlet count, rack space efficiency, and straightforward deployment matter most.
