PDU Basic 120V 20A 5-15/20R 14 Outlet L5-20P Vertical 0URM Rack Mount

Basic Vertical Rack PDU for Clean, Space-Efficient Power Distribution

The PDU Basic 120V 20A 5-15/20R 14 Outlet L5-20P Vertical 0URM Rack Mount is designed for controlled power distribution in rack-based AV, IT, and network installations where conserving rack space matters. Built in a vertical, zero rack unit form factor, it mounts alongside equipment rather than consuming standard rack units, making it a practical choice for cabinets and enclosures that are already densely populated with gear.

This unit is a strong fit for integrators, IT managers, and facilities teams that need a straightforward power strip-style PDU for mounting inside a rack. The 120V, 20A input and 14-outlet layout support organized distribution to multiple devices from a single source, helping reduce cable clutter and keep system wiring more manageable during deployment and service. The L5-20P plug style indicates a locking-style input connection suitable for compatible power sources and installations where a more secure connection is preferred.

Who It Is For

• Small to mid-size rack installations needing basic power distribution
• AV racks in conference rooms, classrooms, and huddle spaces
• Network closets and equipment cabinets where vertical mounting is preferred
• Installers looking for a simple, rack-friendly solution without advanced monitoring features

Why Buy This PDU

Deployment Guidance

Plan the installation around the rack’s vertical mounting area so the PDU does not interfere with equipment depth, cable paths, or door clearance. Because this is a basic PDU, it is best used where the goal is reliable outlet access and clean distribution rather than power monitoring. Match the installation to compatible 120V / 20A electrical service and confirm that the connected load stays within the circuit design of the rack and facility. The L5-20P input should be paired with a compatible locking receptacle or power source.

For integrators, the value of this unit is simplicity: it provides an efficient way to bring power into a rack and distribute it to multiple devices without adding unnecessary complexity. For end users, it can reduce power cabling mess, improve serviceability, and make equipment layouts easier to maintain over time.
