Tripp Lite PDU Basic 13 NEMA 5-15R Outlets 5-15P Input 1.8kW 6ft Cord 1URM (PDU121506)
Basic power distribution belongs on the rails where gear can reach it without tension on the cords. We build this unit with an all-metal chassis that bolts into a standard equipment rack or fixes to a wall. One input line feeds a row of rear receptacles and a front outlet for bench test gear.

- SINGLE-PHASE 120V PDU DISTRIBUTES NETWORK-GRADE POWER TO MULTIPLE LOADS: This basic PDU is an ideal no-frills unit for networking, telecom, security, audio/video and sound reinforcement applications. Recommended for high-density IT environments, the PDU121506 features a single breakered load bank with 13 NEMA 5-15R outlets – 12 in the rear and one in front. A six-foot cord with NEMA 5-15P input plug connects to your facility’s AC power source, generator or protected UPS system to distribute power to connected loads.
- UP-TO-DATE SAFETY FEATURES PROTECT YOUR VITAL EQUIPMENT: The switchless design helps prevent an accidental shutdown, which could lead to costly downtime. A 15A circuit breaker protects connected components from dangerous overloads.
- VERSATILE INSTALLATION OPTIONS GIVE YOU PLENTY OF CHOICES: The reversible all-metal housing comes with mounting brackets for installation in 1U of space in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack. You can also reorient the brackets for permanent mounting under a counter or on a wall with user-supplied hardware. With a compatible rack and Tripp Lite’s PDUSIDEBRKT accessory (sold separately), you can adapt the PDU121506 for vertical 0U rack-mounting as well.
How this one is built
Switchless steel chassis
An accidental elbow should not kill power to a running cabinet. We leave off the master power switch so a dropped tool or a brush against the faceplate cannot drop the load. An integrated breaker trips if current draws climb too high.
Front and rear outlets
Most equipment cords stay tucked out of sight in the back of the enclosure. We place the main bank on the rear panel, plus an extra receptacle on the face so you can plug in a test meter or a service laptop without reaching around.
Flexible rail mounting
The metal housing includes reversible mounting ears for horizontal installation on standard rack rails. You can also turn those brackets around to mount the chassis flat against a backboard, under a workbench surface, or vertically along the side post of an enclosure.
Direct feed cord
A heavy input cord routes directly from your protected source, backup supply, or generator into the chassis. It provides the reach needed to drop down through floor cutouts or run up to overhead cable trays without pulling tight on the plug.
On the nameplate
These are the figures published 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.
