Penn Elcom 2U Rack Mount PDU, 20A, Overload Protection & Power Monitoring

The Penn Elcom 2U Rack Mount PDU is engineered for the reliable and protected distribution of AC power in professional audio-visual, multimedia, and IT environments. This versatile unit provides two fully protected circuits, advanced connectivity, and integrated monitoring, all within a standard 2U rack space.

Circuit A delivers clean, filtered power for sensitive equipment. It features a Neutrik 20A powerCON inlet with a built-in 2nd Order EMI filter and a Gas Discharge Tube/Voltage Dependent Resistor (GDT/VDR) protection circuit. This advanced input stage shields connected gear from electromagnetic interference and safeguards against damaging power surges or lightning strikes. The output for Circuit A comprises a 4-way IEC C13 outlet strip with a maximum combined load of 10A, perfect for powering amplifiers, processors, or other rack-mounted devices. It also includes a convenient combined charger module with one USB and one USB-C port, each delivering 5V at 1.8A, for charging peripherals or mobile devices. Protection is handled by an illuminated 10A circuit breaker.

Circuit B offers exceptional flexibility for international setups, featuring six universal sockets compatible with UK, US, European, and Australian plugs (Schuko plugs use a 2-pin connection only). This circuit also has a maximum combined load of 10A and is protected by its own illuminated 10A circuit breaker. A standout feature is the integrated LCD power monitor, which provides real-time readouts of current (Amps), voltage (Volts), power (Watts), and energy consumption (kWh), allowing for precise power management. An M4 screw terminal is provided for secure rack grounding.

Constructed with durability in mind, this PDU is designed for permanent installation in 19-inch equipment racks. Its robust build and comprehensive protection features make it an indispensable component for touring rigs, fixed installations, broadcast studios, and server rooms where both
