1.8kW 120V Single-Phase Basic PDU-13 NEMA 5-15R Outlets, 5-15P Input 6FT

This basic rack power distribution unit is designed for straightforward, dependable power delivery in 120V single-phase environments. With a 1.8kW capacity, 13 NEMA 5-15R outlets, a NEMA 5-15P input plug, and a 6-foot input cord, it is built for equipment setups that need simple branch-level power distribution without advanced monitoring or switching features.

Who it is for

This PDU is a practical fit for IT closets, small server rooms, AV racks, telecom enclosures, network cabinets, and equipment carts where multiple 120V devices need to be powered from one source. It is especially useful for buyers who want a basic, no-frills rack PDU that focuses on reliable outlet distribution rather than metering, remote control, or intelligent power management.

Why buy this PDU

Choose this unit when you need a compact way to organize power connections and reduce dependence on individual power strips. The 13-outlet layout helps support mixed low-draw equipment such as switches, routers, control processors, streaming gear, small media players, and accessory devices. The standard 5-15P input and 5-15R outlet format makes it easy to integrate into common North American 120V installations. Because this is a basic PDU, it is best suited to users who value simplicity, predictable function, and easy deployment over advanced feature sets.

Use cases

• Rack-mounted networking and communication equipment
• Small AV systems and integration racks
• Equipment cabinets with multiple 120V accessories
• General-purpose power distribution for light to moderate rack loads
• Temporary or portable rack builds where simple AC distribution is needed

Deployment guidance

Before installation, confirm that the total connected load does not exceed the unit’s 1.8kW capacity and verify that your source circuit is appropriate for the connected equipment. Match the 5-15P input to a compatible 120V receptacle and plan cable routing so the 6-foot cord can reach without strain. In rack environments, position the PDU so the outlet orientation and cord exits support clean cable management and do not interfere with other devices. Because this is a basic PDU, it does not add power conditioning or intelligent monitoring; it is intended for dependable distribution of utility power already provided by your facility.

Buyer notes

If you need remote outlet control, current monitoring, sequencing, or redundant power capabilities, a more advanced PDU type may be a better fit. If your goal is simply to provide multiple 120V outlets in a rack-friendly format with a standard plug and cord length, this model offers a straightforward and efficient solution.
