Description

StarTech RKPW081915 8-Outlet Rackmount PDU with Surge Protection

Overview

The StarTech RKPW081915 is a 1U horizontal rackmount power distribution unit designed to provide reliable power and surge protection for up to eight 120V devices within a standard server rack. With 1800 Joules of surge suppression, it safeguards connected equipment from voltage spikes and power surges, making it essential for maintaining the operational integrity of sensitive IT and AV gear. This unit is ideal for data centers, network closets, and AV installations where organized and protected power is critical. The RKPW081915 features a durable steel construction and a 6-foot power cord for flexible placement.

Compatibility

This PDU is compatible with any standard 19-inch wide server rack or cabinet. It accepts standard NEMA 5-15P input power and provides eight NEMA 5-15R outlets. It is suitable for powering a wide range of standard IT equipment, including network switches, routers, servers, monitors, and surveillance devices that operate within a 120V AC electrical system and do not exceed the PDU's maximum total current rating of 15A (derated to 12A for continuous use). Ensure your connected devices' total power draw does not exceed 12A for sustained operation.

Installation Notes

The unit mounts horizontally in a standard 19-inch rack using the included mounting hardware. It requires a single NEMA 5-15R wall outlet for power input. The operating temperature range is -5°C to 45°C (23°F to 113°F), and humidity should be maintained between 5% and 95% RH. The integrated surge protection indicator confirms the surge suppression circuitry is active and functional.
