ATEN PE1216 power distribution unit (PDU) 16 AC outlet(s) Black

The ATEN PE1216 16-port 0U Power Distribution Unit provides centralized AC power distribution with sixteen C13 outlets in a compact 0U metal housing. Designed for rack-mounting on the outside of a cabinet, the PDU saves internal rack space while delivering reliable power distribution for data centers and server rooms. The unit ships with a 3 m power cord (separate cable with C19 and C20 connectors for some SKUs), a mounting kit and user instructions; voltage and plug compatibility depend on the model: PE1216A for 100–120V regions (North America, Mexico, Japan, Taiwan), PE1216B for 200–240V in the same regions, and PE1216G for international use. The PDU supports a nominal input voltage of 100–240 V and a maximum current of 16 A, and is finished in black metal for durability.

Advantages

The ATEN 16-Port 0U PDU offers a space-saving vertical 0U design that mounts externally to the rack, providing sixteen C13 outlets without occupying internal U space. Its metal housing ensures mechanical durability and heat resistance. With a 3 m power cord and support for 100–240 V input and up to 16 A current, the unit is compatible with common server-room power infrastructures. Certified standards include CE, C-Tick, TUV-CB and GOST for verified safety and compliance.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring compact power distribution
• Network cabinets where internal rack space must be preserved
• IT closets and telecom racks with multiple C13-equipped devices

How to use

Install the PDU vertically on the exterior of the rack using the supplied mounting kit so that it occupies 0U inside the cabinet. Connect the provided power cord to an appropriate mains outlet or power source according to the regional model and voltage rating. Plug servers and networking equipment into the C13 outlets, observing the maximum current rating of 16 A and distributing load across outlets to avoid overcurrent on a single circuit. Follow the included user instructions for detailed safety, grounding and installation steps.

Recommendations

Ensure the selected PE1216 model matches your local mains voltage and plug configuration before installation. Do not exceed the maximum rated current of 16 A; plan equipment connections to balance load and prevent circuit overload. Maintain adequate ventilation around the PDU and follow site electrical codes and the supplied user instructions for safe operation.
