The amperage rating of the PDU is either 16 A, 24 A, or 48 A, single phase or three phase, depending on the power cord.

Note: All power cords are 4.3 m (14 ft.). For installation in Chicago, only 2.8 m (6 ft.) of the 4.3 m (14 ft.) power cord can extend beyond the perimeter of the rack frame. If more than 2.8 m (6 ft.) can exit the rack, retain any additional cordage within the rack frame via Velcro ties in the cable management space until 2.8 (6 ft.) or less exits the rack.

The PDU has twelve customer-usable IEC 320-C13 outlets rated at 200-240 V ac. There are six groups of two outlets fed by six circuit breakers. Each outlet is rated up to 10 A, but each group of two outlets is fed from one 20 A circuit breaker derated to 16 A. The following IEC 320-C13 to IEC 320-C14 power cords are available to supply power from the PDU outlet to the rack-mounted device:

1422 - 3.0 m (10 ft.)

Power distribution unit plus specifications

The power distribution unit plus (PDU+) has power-monitoring capabilities. The PDU+ is an intelligent ac power distribution unit (PDU+) that monitors the amount of power being used by the devices that are plugged into it. The PDU+ provides twelve C13 power outlets and receives power through a Souriau UTG connector. The PDU+ can be used in many geographies and for many applications by varying the PDU-to-wall power cord, which must be ordered separately. Each PDU+ requires one PDU-to-wall power cord. When the PDU+ is connected to a dedicated power source, it conforms to UL60950, CSA C22.2-60950, EN-60950, and IEC-60950 standards.

The following feature codes are available for the PDU+.

5889 - First PDU+ (with 12 IEC 320-C13 outlets) installed on a 7014-S25, 7014-T00, or 7014-T42 rack
