Panduit P48D04M Metered Power Distribution Unit
Overview
The Panduit P48D04M is a 15A, 120V metered Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for high-density rack environments. It provides 48 C13 IEC outlets, enabling you to efficiently distribute power to multiple devices within a single rack. This unit is critical for managing power consumption and ensuring reliable operation in server racks, network closets, and other IT infrastructure deployments. The P48D04M model specifically addresses the need for granular power monitoring at the outlet level, allowing for better capacity planning and load balancing.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting and is compatible with most enterprise-grade server racks and cabinets. It accepts a standard L5-20P twist-lock input plug, suitable for 15A circuits. The 48 C13 outlets are standard for powering most IT equipment, including servers, switches, and network appliances. It is intended for use with equipment that draws up to 15A per circuit and requires C13 power cords.
Installation Notes
The P48D04M requires a standard 15A, 120V circuit with an L5-20R receptacle. Ensure the circuit can handle the total load of all connected devices. The unit mounts vertically in a standard 19-inch rack, occupying 0U space, which maximizes rack real estate for IT equipment. Proper airflow management within the rack is essential to prevent overheating of connected devices and the PDU itself.
