Panduit P48D32M-RD2A Vertical Pdu 36 C13 12 C19

Product Description

The PANDUIT P48D32M-RD2A is a vertical rack-mount power distribution unit (PDU) designed for high-density data center and network equipment enclosures. It provides 36 IEC C13 outlets and 12 IEC C19 outlets, giving technicians a total of 48 individually accessible receptacles in a single vertical form factor. The vertical mounting profile maximizes usable rack unit space by routing power along the side rails of the cabinet rather than consuming front-facing U positions. Electrical contractors and data center infrastructure technicians handle this type of installation.

This PDU is suited for commercial and enterprise data center environments where dense server, storage, and networking equipment must be powered from a single distribution point. The mix of C13 and C19 outlets accommodates both standard 1U and 2U server power supplies and higher-draw devices such as blade chassis, large switches, and storage arrays. Vertical PDU installations are common in 42U to 48U open-frame and enclosed equipment racks where horizontal PDUs would consume valuable rack unit space.

Key Features

• 36 IEC C13 outlets for standard server and networking device power cords
• 12 IEC C19 outlets for higher-current rack equipment
• Vertical mounting form factor preserves front rack unit positions
• 48 total outlets support high-density cabinet deployments
• Sold individually as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style vertical PDU for use in standard 19-inch equipment racks and cabinets requiring IEC C13 and C19 power distribution.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified data center infrastructure technician. De-energize the upstream circuit breaker and verify zero voltage at the input connector before connecting or disconnecting the PDU. Secure the unit to the rack rail using the manufacturer-provided mounting hardware and confirm all outlet connections are fully seated before restoring power. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for branch circuit ratings and cord management within the enclosure.
