20-Outlet C13/C19 Lockable Metered Rack PDU, 1U Vertical, Hot-Swap Meter, RS485

Quick Answer20-Outlet C13/C19 Lockable Metered Rack PDU, 1U Vertical, Hot-Swap Meter, RS485 — an IDCPDU Metered PDU for metered racks in data centres.
  1. Power read where it is consumed — Current, voltage, power and energy at the strip, shown on the local display and readable remotely — you spot a rack running out of headroom before the breaker trips.
  2. 20 outlets on one strip — A single strip feeds a whole rack, so adding a node no longer means a second PDU and a second feed cable.
  3. 0U vertical — no rack units consumed — The strip hangs on the rear post, so every U stays available for servers.
  4. Lockable IEC sockets — C13 and C19 cords click in and stay in — vibration, cleaning and a stray knee no longer turn into an unexplained reboot.
  5. C13 and C19 side by side — Servers, switches and storage hang off one strip — no second PDU just because the C19 count did not match the drawing.
  6. Breaker ahead of the outlets — A fault trips inside the strip, not at the upstream panel — the rest of the row keeps serving traffic.
  7. Hard-wired terminal block — There is no inlet plug to work loose or heat up — the feed lands on terminals sized for the strip's full current.

Product Description

  • Slim 1U metered strip for 20 C13/C19 loads in a 19-inch rack
  • Hot-swap meter with load indicator shows total current, voltage, power and energy
  • RS485 Modbus-RTU daisy-chains several strips to one master
  • The same 20 lockable outlets as the 1.5U model sit in a narrower 1U body, which suits racks with shallow rear clearance where a deeper section would foul the door or the cable tray. Every outlet carries a load indicator, so a tripped or unplugged circuit is visible at the rack without opening a browser. Metering stays at the inlet, so no per-outlet switching is involved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the 1U body instead of the 1.5U version?

Both carry 20 lockable C13/C19 outlets. The 1U body is about 44 mm across instead of 66 mm, which matters when the gap behind the rear rail is tight or a cable tray runs close to the frame. If depth is not a constraint, the 1.5U version has more room for the meter and easier wiring.

Do the outlet indicators show current or just on/off?

They show that the outlet is carrying load, not how much. Per-outlet current would require a metered-outlet PDU. For branch-level figures use the LCD, which reports total current, voltage, power and energy for the whole strip.

Is surge protection available on this 1U metered PDU?

Not on this model. The 1U body has no room for a replaceable SPD cartridge; choose the 1.5U 20-outlet metered PDU with 3-lamp SPD if the site needs surge diversion and a status lamp.

How is the strip earthed and where does the input land?

The input lands on a hard-wired terminal block with L, N and PE, and the housing is bonded to the same earth point. Cable entry is top or bottom, so feed direction follows the rack layout rather than forcing a loop.

Can one RS485 gateway collect a whole row of racks?

Yes. Each strip takes its own address on the bus and the gateway polls them in sequence, so a row of 10 to 20 racks reports through one IP connection. Keep the bus below the recommended node count or split it with a repeater.

What is the delivery time for a 32 A version with a custom socket split?

Seven to fifteen working days after the drawing is approved. Send the socket split, cord length and plug type, and we return a drawing within 30 minutes and a quotation within the hour.
