WTH-CS/PDU-C13-E (US121052E) Heavy Duty Metal 1U Rack Mount PDU, Inlet C20 20A 120/240V Open end (Without Extension Cord), Outlet C13 x10 Ports

Nice PDU, but needs specific plugs. Works great for my application, great quality!

I have been using it for a month and works great. Also a very good price compared to similar items.

There is a 30 amp Tripp Lite surge protector power strip mounted to tha back of this rack. This PDU will be plugged into it so I can have some access to power without having to reach around to the back to plug things like spectrum analyzers, signal analyzers, a light and so on which will be sitting on top of the rack.You can see in the pictures that I have already attached a C19 to 5-20P power plug and 5 C14 to 5-15P adapter plugs to it. It's ready to go. This unit does not come with any power cords at all.This works perfectly but if I were to make a suggestion, I would have liked to see a power indicator on it and a power on/off switch would have been nice. These are not complaints - just suggestions. It's well made and does exactly as described.This will get a lot of use and I'm glad I got it.

The construction of this PDU feels quite good. The case is well built and does not feel cheaply made. The ports do not feel cheaply made either and all connectors seat firmly. The unit that I received did have a couple of small scratches on it, but you'll of course never see them once mounted in a rack.The modular rack ears are great. Whereas some competing PDUs are designed such that they can only be mounted one way, this PDU can be flipped. If you want the ports facing out of the rack, you can do that. The side of the case have short metal posts that index on the rack ears, making it easy to line them up and secure them with the provided screws. As an insignificant nitpick, I wish the included screws were black so the color was more consistent with the rack ears mounted.The branding on this product is quite subtle, which is appreciated. A logo is printed on the port-side, but it's faint. A stick bearing the brand name is on the back, and can be easily removed if you wish.The C20 input connector is definitely a plus, giving you more freedom and modularity when choosing a terminating connector. I wish, however, that a C19 to NEMA 5-15P cable was included. I know that it wouldn't be applicable for everyone, but including something would be better than nothing, particularly at this price point.Other than the modular input, this PDU feels short on features compared to the competition. Other PDUs offer LEDs for ground status, power status, or even surge status, whereas this model offers nothing. Other PDUs offer a main control switch whereas this model doesn't offer such control. The importance of these features will of course vary based on the application, but for use in a homelab rack those features would be valuable.At the time of writing this review the price of the "without AC power filter" variant of this PDU is selling for $74.99. I think this price is pretty high considering that there are a lot of competing PDUs that are priced lower and offer the aforementioned features that this product lacks. Where this PDU stands out from the bulk of competitors here on Amazon is in its use of C13 ports. However, consider that many retired enterprise PDUs use C13 connections as well, and often are metered (some even with web portals), and can be found for quite cheap, both here on Amazon and in your local area.

So far so good. I am using this in a small server cabinet. It put it on the rack and hooked everything up. It cleaned up some cables and power strips which is nice. I am not pushing this to it’s max load so I can’t speak to how well it holds up to extreme use, but so far, it’s been running cool and has provided clean and consistent power. I still use a UPS on the system and have other things in place to protect the circuit. It’s a fairly small form factor and won’t impose much on your rack setup. There are more robust offerings out there but you’ll be paying a lot more for them. I think this was a good value for what I got. An option to buy it with or without all the cables would be a nice option to save me a step.

I recently received a power distribution unit (PDU) with an input of C20 20A and output of C13 x10. The PDU I received did not come with an AC Power Filter. The item was shipped quickly and arrived in great condition.The PDU is well designed and sturdy. The unit has 10 C13 outlets, which is convenient for devices that utilize this type of plug. The product is easy to install and can be mounted on a rack. The input plug is a C20, which is a standard plug commonly used in server rooms.Overall, I'm happy with this PDU. It's doing exactly what I need it to do, which is distribute power to multiple devices in a clean and efficient way. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs a PDU that supports multiple devices with C13 plugs.

Ordering this product turned out to be a lesson in carefully reading a product description. I expected to receive a power distribution unit that accepted standard US 120-volt plugs. This unit utilizes connectors that are the opposite of what is featured on cables that connect to PC power supplies, monitors, etc. These are the common power cables that you probably already have dozens of in your junk drawer. Sorry, you can't use 'em with this unit. Even worse, the main power input port uses a cable type that, in my 40 years of working with electronics, I have never encountered or even heard of.The price, for what I received, is quite steep. The model that I received does not have a power switch, indicator lights, surge protector, fuse, or circuit breaker. So, in short, this is an overpriced power distribution unit with zero added features. By the time you add in the cost of the oddball cables that are needed, you could have bought TWO of the PDU models that use standard power cables.

This is a PUD for use in standard-size telecom racks. I was not able to fully test as could not find a suitable cord to use for the inlet on this. Appears to be riveted together, but removed the inlet plug and looks like 12 or 10AWG wire that has a cloth sheath over it inside the unit. Has one ground bolt on the unit but no switches, breakers, etc.
