Chatsworth 38638-717 Full Height Dual PDU Bracket
Overview
The Chatsworth 38638-717 is a full-height mounting bracket designed to securely install two Power Distribution Units (PDUs) vertically within a standard 19-inch rack. This bracket addresses the common challenge of limited horizontal rack space by allowing PDUs to be mounted side-by-side, optimizing power distribution density for IT equipment. Its heavy-gauge steel construction ensures stability and longevity in demanding data center and network closet environments. The 38638-717 model is specifically engineered for full-height rack installations, maximizing the utility of available vertical space.
Compatibility
This bracket is designed for use with standard 19-inch wide, full-height (42U or taller) server racks and cabinets. It accommodates most standard-sized vertical PDUs, including those from major manufacturers. Verify your PDU dimensions against the bracket's mounting hole pattern if your PDUs are unusually large or small. It is not compatible with half-height racks or open frame racks without appropriate modifications.
Installation Notes
Installation requires basic hand tools, including a Phillips head screwdriver and a T20 Torx driver (often included with rack hardware). The bracket attaches to the vertical mounting rails of the rack using provided hardware. Ensure the rack is stable and properly grounded before installation. Mount PDUs to the bracket using the pre-drilled holes and supplied fasteners. Torque fasteners to snug, avoiding over-tightening that could damage the rack or bracket. The bracket itself is designed to support the weight of two fully loaded PDUs.
