1U Horizontal Rack Mount Metered PDU with 12 NEMA 5-15R Outlets, Surge Protection, LCD Power Monitoring, 125V/15A Circuit Breaker, and 8-Foot Power Cord for Server Racks and Data Centers
The StarTech 12NM8-RACK-MOUNT-PDU is a rack mount PDU that distributes 125V/15A power to 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets across a 1U horizontal form factor with real-time metering of voltage, current, wattage, and power factor on a backlit LCD display for server racks, network closets, and data center cabinets. The metered PDU includes self-tripping MOV surge protection with an LED status indicator, a resettable 15A circuit breaker with safety cover, and an 8-foot NEMA 5-15P power cord for flexible placement within EIA-310-compliant 19-inch racks. A 1U rack mount PDU from StarTech with cold-rolled steel construction, TAA compliance, and a 2-year warranty.
The 12 outlets are split between 10 rear-facing and 2 front-facing positions for convenient access to frequently connected and disconnected devices, and the cold-rolled steel enclosure with textured finish provides the structural rigidity required for permanent rack installations in server rooms, testing labs, and AV equipment closets.
Where the 12NM8-RACK-MOUNT-PDU Fits
- Server rooms and network closets where the 12-outlet metered PDU provides real-time power monitoring across rack-mounted switches, servers, and UPS equipment with voltage, amperage, wattage, and power factor readings on the backlit LCD
- Data center deployments requiring TAA compliance where government and enterprise procurement standards mandate TAA-compliant power distribution equipment, and the metered display enables load balancing across circuits to prevent overload conditions
- AV racks and testing lab setups where the 2 front-facing outlets provide convenient access for temporary equipment connections, and the surge protection with self-tripping MOV design protects sensitive test instruments and AV processors
What the 12NM8-RACK-MOUNT-PDU Delivers
- 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets at 125V/15A: Ten rear-facing and two front-facing outlets across a 1U horizontal form factor. Compatible with EIA-310-compliant 19-inch 2-post and 4-post racks and cabinets 4 inches or deeper.
- Real-time metered power monitoring: Backlit LCD displays voltage (V), current (A), wattage (W), and power factor (PF) for all connected equipment. Power factor readings indicate device efficiency for load management and energy optimization.
- Surge protection with circuit breaker: Self-tripping MOV design with mechanical trigger instantly cuts power during voltage surges to protect connected equipment. Resettable 15A circuit breaker with safety cover prevents accidental resets.
- Cold-rolled steel construction: Textured steel enclosure built for permanent rack installation. 8-foot NEMA 5-15P power cord provides reach to floor-mounted or ceiling-mounted power sources within the server room.
