Description

StarTech RKPW161915 16-Outlet 1U Rack PDU

Overview

The StarTech RKPW161915 is a 1U horizontal rack PDU designed to provide reliable power distribution for up to 16 devices within a standard 19-inch server rack. It addresses the need for organized and protected power in environments housing networking equipment, servers, or surveillance systems. The unit accepts a 120V AC input and delivers it to 16 NEMA 5-15 outlets, supporting a maximum total output of 15A. With 1800 Joules of surge protection, it safeguards connected equipment against transient voltage spikes, crucial for maintaining uptime in critical infrastructure deployments.

Compatibility

This rack PDU is compatible with standard 19-inch server racks and cabinets. It is designed to power any standard 120V AC equipment that utilizes a NEMA 5-15 plug, including most network switches, routers, servers, monitors, and IP cameras. The 12A UL derated input current is important for ensuring safe operation within the specified limits when connected to a 15A circuit. The 6.0 ft power cord offers flexibility in placement within the rack.

Installation Notes

The RKPW161915 features a 1U form factor, occupying minimal vertical space in a rack. Its horizontal orientation allows for easy mounting to the front or rear of standard rack rails. The unit includes LED indicators for ground and surge status, providing immediate visual feedback on power and protection. Operating temperature range is -5°C to 45°C (23°F to 113°F), suitable for most controlled IT environments. Storage temperature range is -25°C to 65°C (-13°F to 149°F).
