Dimensions of a 19-inch Server Rack Power Distribution Box

A standard 19-inch rackmount PDU typically fits 1U of vertical space, has a front panel width of 19 inches (482. 6 mm), and a depth that varies depending on the model. Standard 19-Inch Rack DimensionsWidth: The front panel of a 19-inch rack or PDU is standardized at 19 inches (482.

6 mm), including the mounting ears that attach to the rack rails. The internal spacing between the rails is slightly narrower at 17. 75 inches (451 mm) to accommodate equipment bezels and handles.

Height: Rack-mounted equipment height is measured in rack units (U), where 1U = 1. 75 inches (44. 45 mm).

Most PD

Us, including the Intellinet 8-outlet PDU, occupy 1U of vertical space. Depth: Unlike width and height, depth is not fully standardized. Typical rack depths range from 600 mm (24 inches) to 1200 mm (47.

2 inches).

PD

Us are generally shallower than servers, often around 100–200 mm (4–8 inches), but exact depth depends on the manufacturer and model. Mounting and InstallationPDUs are designed to mount directly to the front or rear vertical rails of a 19-inch rack using screws or clip-in fasteners. The rail-mounting holes on the rack are spaced according to the EIA-310 standard, with vertical hole spacing in sets of three: 15.

9 mm, 15. 9 mm, and 12. 7 mm, totaling 44.

45 mm per rack unit. Power distribution units require a dedicated AC line, typically 200–240 V AC at 30 A, to support connected equipment. Example: 1U 19-Inch PDUThe Intellinet 1U 8-outlet PDU features: Height: 1U (1.
