Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What level of surge protection does this basic surge rPDU provide?
A: This vertical PDU features basic surge suppression capability that protects against common voltage spikes and transients, providing essential equipment protection for standard IT environments without the complexity of advanced surge management.
Q: How does the vertical mounting benefit power distribution unit rack mount installations?
A: Yes, vertical mounting maximizes rack space efficiency by utilizing the sides or back of the rack instead of consuming valuable horizontal rack units, while providing easy access to all 14 NEMA outlets.
Q: What makes NEMA 5-20R outlets ideal for this managed power distribution unit?
A: NEMA 5-20R outlets provide secure connections for 20A equipment while maintaining backward compatibility with standard 15A NEMA 5-15P plugs, offering maximum flexibility for diverse equipment power requirements.
Q: How does the 10ft power cord benefit installation flexibility?
A: The extended 10ft cord with 5-20P plug provides installation flexibility, allowing the vertical PDU to be positioned optimally in the rack while reaching distant power sources or other PDUs in the power chain.
