Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.4kW 120V Single-Phase Basic PDU - 16 NEMA 5-15R Outlets, 5-15P Input, 15 ft. Cord, 48 in. 0U Rack

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.4kW 120V Single-Phase Basic Power Distribution Unit (PDU) is a no-frills, high-value solution designed to distribute reliable, network-grade power to multiple loads in compact, space-conscious environments. This basic PDU delivers clean, stable power to essential networking, telecom, security, and audio/video equipment without the complexity of advanced features. It’s ideal for small to mid-sized data centers, computer rooms, network closets, and other critical spaces where dependable power distribution matters but budget and footprint are at a premium. With a 15-foot power cord, 16 NEMA 5-15R outlets, and a 120V single-phase design, this PDU provides the straightforward performance you need to keep racks running smoothly, reduce downtime, and simplify power management across a variety of applications.

• High-density, 16-outlet arrangement: The PDU provides 16 NEMA 5-15R outlets in a compact footprint, enabling you to consolidate power distribution for multiple servers, switches, storage devices, workstations, and ancillary equipment from a single, centralized source. This layout helps minimize cord clutter and improves airflow by removing the need for multiple daisy-chained power strips.
• Reliable 120V single-phase power: Designed to handle up to 1.4 kW of load (approximately 11.7 A at 120V), this PDU delivers steady, network-grade power suitable for a wide range of IT and AV devices. Its basic, straightforward design focuses on dependable power delivery rather than complex controls, making it ideal for dependable deployments in environments that require predictable performance.
• Long 15-foot power cord for flexible deployments: The generous cord length gives you the versatility to position the PDU where it’s most convenient within a rack, cabinet, or enclosure, reducing strain on outlets and allowing easier routing in crowded data centers or telecom rooms.
• 0U rack-mount design for space efficiency: The 0U form factor is optimized for installation in standard 19-inch racks without consuming vertical rack space, helping you maximize usable cabinet capacity. This makes it an excellent choice for tight spaces, wall-mounted enclosures, or data closets where depth and height are at a premium.
• Durable, straightforward power distribution for a range of applications: This basic PDU is well-suited to networking, telecom, security, audio/video, and sound reinforcement applications where a dependable, affordable power distribution solution is required. It’s a practical option for small-to-mid-sized deployments, computer rooms, and network closets that demand reliability without additional frills.
