MINUTEMAN RPM1516N1LCD-15P 16-Outlet Switched PDU 15A NEMA 5-15P 10ft

Switched PDU for 16 devices

The Minuteman RPM1516N1LCD-15P is a switched power distribution unit built for network administrators who need remote control over individual outlets. It provides sixteen NEMA 5-15R receptacles fed by a single NEMA 5-15P input plug rated at 15A. A ten-foot cord connects the unit to the upstream supply. The 0U vertical form factor mounts in a standard rack without consuming horizontal rack units.

Thermals noise and power draw

Passive power distribution generates no audible fan noise and adds negligible heat to the rack environment. The unit draws up to 15A from the branch circuit and distributes it across the sixteen outlets. An integrated LCD panel and network interface report real-time voltage, current, and power readings so operators can spot overload conditions before a breaker trips. Threshold alerts and email notifications support proactive thermal management.

Build integration needs and freedoms

The PDU requires a 15A NEMA 5-15R wall receptacle or UPS output and a CAT5 network drop for IP-based management. It frees administrators from physical site visits by enabling outlet-level power cycling, sequencing, and scheduling over SNMP or a web browser. Centralised software can monitor up to 24 devices from a single IP address, reducing the number of management ports needed in dense rack rows. The 62368-1 certification confirms compliance with safety standards for IT equipment.
