Tripp Lite Basic PDU, 20A Dual-Circuit 40 Outlets (5-15/20R), 120V, NEMA L5-20P/5-20P Inputs

Racks loaded with dual-corded servers need separate power paths within the same frame. We built this unit with dual input cords and two distinct circuit banks to feed both sides of your equipment. It mounts upright in the cabinet channel to keep cabling clear of your exhaust airflow.

What it does

How this one is built

Dual input feeds

Two attached power cords route to separate utility lines or source circuits. Each line energizes its own group of outlets along the vertical chassis, keeping redundant power supplies cleanly separated inside one enclosure.

Unswitched outlet banks

Receptacles are split across the two circuits without master power switches on the face. An unswitched layout helps avoid accidental dropouts caused by a stray arm or a snagged cable during cabinet maintenance.

Circuit breaker protection

Thermal breakers built into the chassis handle overcurrent situations on either line. If a connected device draws too much current, the breaker trips on that specific circuit without disturbing the neighboring bank.

Vertical toolless mounting

Mounting buttons snap into the keyhole slots found on standard rack frames without needing a bag of hardware. Standing tall in the rear channel, the unit leaves horizontal rail spaces open for compute and storage hardware.

On the nameplate

These are the figures our retail partner lists for this unit. Where a number is missing here it was not printed on the listing, and we would rather leave the row out than fill it with a guess.
