The amperage rating of the PDU is either 16 A, 24 A, 48 A, or 63 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 with hook-and-loop fastener 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 that are rated at 200 - 240 V ac. Six groups of
two outlets that are fed by six circuit breakers. Each outlet is rated up to 10 A (220 - 240 V ac) or 12 A
(200 - 208 V ac), but each group of two outlets is fed from one 20 A circuit breaker derated to 16 A.

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 that is 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. It can be used in many locations worldwide 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.
