Shop rack-mount power distribution units and power strips for network racks, cabinets and IT equipment installations. Rack PDUs provide multiple receptacles from a centralized rack-mounted power connection and may include circuit protection or other power-management features.
Compare products by rack size, receptacle type and quantity, plug configuration, current rating, cord length and protection features.
Rack power distribution units provide convenient power connections for switches, servers, communications equipment and other devices installed within a rack or cabinet.
Instead of routing every device to a separate building receptacle, a rack PDU provides multiple outlets from a centralized power connection.
Horizontal PDUs typically mount within standard rack space and are useful where a compact group of outlets is needed near installed equipment. The amount of rack space consumed should be considered when planning equipment density.
Rack PDUs can use different input plugs and output receptacles. Confirm voltage, current rating, receptacle type, plug configuration and the electrical circuit serving the rack before selecting a unit.
Some rack power products incorporate circuit breakers or other protective devices. These features do not replace proper upstream electrical protection, but they can provide localized protection appropriate to the PDU design.
Before selecting a rack PDU, verify supply voltage, circuit capacity, input plug, outlet configuration, equipment load and physical rack-mount requirements.
