Legrand Rack PDU, Network Metered, ZeroU, 12A, 120V, (10) 5-20R, 5-15P Cord

Designed for modern data centers, server rooms, and high-density rack environments, the Legrand Network Metered PDU combines real-time power metering with intelligent remote monitoring to deliver visibility, control, and efficiency. Its ZeroU form factor saves valuable rack space, while a 12A, 120V power backbone supports a broad range of IT equipment. The PDU’s front-panel Color LCD screen offers immediate, at-a-glance readings, and its network-enabled capabilities extend monitoring and reporting to tablets, smartphones, and enterprise management systems. With outlet configuration of ten 5-20R receptacles and a 5-15P input cord, this PDU is engineered to simplify power distribution in demanding configurations, helping you optimize load balancing, reduce energy waste, and improve uptime. Whether you’re deploying a single rack or managing a multi-rack footprint, this Network Metered PDU puts energy intelligence at your fingertips.

• Real-time power metering and load visibility: The Network Metered PDU continuously measures current, voltage, and power usage, delivering precise, live data that enables capacity planning and proactive management. By tracking how much power each device draws, you can identify energy hogs, rebalance workloads, and prevent overloads before they impact performance. Real-time metering also supports better forecasting for future deployments, ensuring you don’t over- or under-provision electrical infrastructure across your rack ecosystem.
• Remote monitoring with customizable notifications: Stay informed with remote visibility into your rack’s power profile. The PDU supports user-defined conditions and alerting rules so you can receive timely notifications when limits are approached or exceeded. This capability helps IT staff and facility teams respond quickly to changing conditions, maintain service levels, and minimize unscheduled downtime without constant manual checks.
• Color LCD front panel plus device-wide reporting: A clear, color LCD display on the front panel provides immediate access to critical metrics—current load, voltage, and outlet status—at a glance. In addition to on-device visibility, the PDU can feed data to tablets and smartphones for convenient, on-the-go monitoring. This dual approach gives operators a comprehensive view of power use and trends across the rack, empowering data-driven decisions and streamlined IT operations.
• ZeroU rugged design with scalable outlet configuration: The ZeroU form factor minimizes rack footprint, maximizing available space for equipment while delivering dependable power distribution. With ten 5-20R outlets, this PDU supports multiple high-current devices such as servers, switches, storage arrays, and network gear. The included 5-15P input cord accommodates standard data-center feeds, enabling straightforward wiring and integration into existing electrical architectures.
• Reliability, compatibility, and easy integration: Built for demanding environments, this PDU provides robust power distribution in an efficient, space-saving package. Its 12A capacity at 120V suits mid-range rack deployments, and the design facilitates seamless integration with common rack setups and management workflows. By delivering precise metering, visible indicators, and remote access, the PDU supports operational reliability, energy accountability, and cost-effective management of your IT infrastructure.
