Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.9kW 120V Single-Phase Basic PDU — 28 Outlets, 15 ft Cord, 60 in. 0U Rack

Optimize power distribution in your data center, server room, or network closet with the Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.9kW 120V Single-Phase Basic PDU. This reliable, compact power distribution unit is built to simplify how you provision and manage power for critical IT devices. With a robust 1.9 kW capacity, a flexible 28-outlet configuration featuring mixed NEMA 5-15R and 5-20R receptacles, and a long 15-foot cord, this PDU delivers consistent, centralized power while preserving valuable rack space. The 60-inch, 0U rack-mount design enables a clean, organized installation that improves cable management, airflow, and overall maintenance in standard 120V IT environments.

• Power distribution built for reliability: With a 1.9 kW rating, this PDU supplies steady, centralized power to multiple servers, switches, storage devices, and other critical IT gear, helping reduce voltage drop and supporting consistent equipment performance in high-demand environments.
• 28 outlets for flexible device provisioning: The configuration includes NEMA 5-15R and 5-20R receptacles, offering broad compatibility for a wide range of IT devices. This setup simplifies plugging in diverse equipment from a single, centralized power source.
• Flexible input options with practical adapters: The unit uses an L5-20P input (125V, 20A), which pairs well with common data center feeds. An adapter option is available to support 5-20P devices, giving you installation flexibility across different racks and power architectures.
• Long reach with a 15-foot power cord: The extended cord length lets you position the PDU exactly where you need it in the rack, reducing cable tension and enabling cleaner cable routing and better airflow around active equipment.
• Space-saving, zero-U rack-mount design: The 60-inch 0U footprint is purpose-built for horizontal rack mounting, preserving valuable rack units for IT gear and keeping power distribution within easy reach for maintenance and diagnostics.

How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.9kW 120V Single-Phase Basic PDU

• Step 1. Power down the rack area and confirm rack compatibility for the PDU’s load capacity. Use the included mounting hardware to secure the unit horizontally inside the rack, ensuring it remains stable and level during operation.
• Step 2. Connect the PDU’s input to a 120V power source using the L5-20P connector. If your installation requires a standard 5-20P receptacle, employ the appropriate adapter to establish a secure, compliant connection.
• Step 3. Route and secure all device cables to the PDU outlets, avoiding sharp bends and ensuring adequate clearance for cooling and airflow within the rack.
• Step 4. Distribute IT devices across the 28 outlets to balance load, prevent overloading any single receptacle, and simplify future maintenance or circuit tracing. Label circuits when possible for quick identification.
• Step 5. Restore power and perform a functional test. Verify that outlets energize correctly and that connected devices operate without interruption. Monitor for even load distribution across the circuit and adjust if necessary.
