Overview

A rack PDU turns one upstream feed into the outlet count and protection your cabinet needs. RackSource builds 1U horizontal units and 0U vertical strips with 10 A, 16 A and 32 A inputs, aluminum housings and project-specific outlet mixes.

Options include circuit breakers, surge protection, local current display, sequential start-up and remote monitoring. Outlet types are matched to the destination market — IEC C13/C19, Schuko, UK, US or Chinese standards.

Questions buyers ask

How do I calculate the PDU current rating?
Add the nameplate current of all equipment on the PDU, apply the diversity factor you expect, and keep continuous load below 80% of the breaker rating. For a 16 A feed, plan for no more than about 12.8 A continuous.

Can the PDU be monitored remotely?
Yes, metered and switched models can provide per-outlet or per-branch current, voltage and energy data over SNMP or Modbus TCP. The monitoring protocol should be confirmed with your DCIM platform before ordering.

Which outlet type should I choose for export projects?
Match the outlet to the plug used by the installed equipment, not to the country alone. Many servers use IEC C13/C19 worldwide; edge devices may use local plugs. A mixed outlet configuration is common.
