While not specific to a particular brand of IT equipment, it serves as a power backbone for any rack-mounted servers, switches, storage devices, or other IT hardware requiring standard 100-120V NEMA 5-20 connections.

Installation Notes

The unit requires a standard NEMA 5-20P input plug connection to a 100-120V circuit capable of delivering at least 20A. It should be mounted vertically in a standard 19-inch rack. Ensure adequate airflow around the PDU and connected equipment to prevent overheating. The integrated display provides real-time local power metrics.
