Panduit P12D13M Metered Input Pdu 20A 12-outlet C13

Product Description

The PANDUIT P12D13M is a metered input power distribution unit (PDU) rated at 20 amps, designed for structured rack environments in data centers, server rooms, and network closets. It provides 12 IEC C13 output receptacles and accepts a NEMA input connection, making it a practical solution for distributing power to multiple rack-mounted devices from a single circuit. Electricians and data center technicians install this unit to consolidate power feeds and monitor inlet load. The onboard metering allows real-time current monitoring at the input, helping facility staff avoid overloading branch circuits.

The P12D13M is suited for 1U or vertical rack installations serving standard IT equipment such as servers, switches, patch panels, and KVM units that use IEC C13 power cords. It is appropriate for both enterprise data center deployments and smaller network infrastructure closets where branch circuit management and outlet density are priorities. Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or qualified IT infrastructure technicians working under applicable electrical codes.

Key Features

• 20-amp input rating supports high-density rack power distribution
• 12 IEC C13 output receptacles for direct connection to standard server and network equipment
• NEMA input connector for compatibility with standard North American branch circuit outlets
• Metered input provides real-time current monitoring to prevent circuit overload
• Rack-mount form factor designed for organized cable and power management in structured enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation PDU for rack enclosures accepting metered input power distribution units with IEC C13 outlets and a NEMA input connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified data center technician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for branch circuit and equipment wiring. De-energize the branch circuit at the panel before making any input connections. Verify that the branch circuit ampacity matches or exceeds the 20-amp input rating of the unit before energizing. Do not exceed the rated load capacity across the 12 output receptacles.
