Tripp Lite PDU3MV6L2120 Metered 0U 208V: C13 and C19 outlets / 120V: NEMA 5-15/20R outlets 16 6 ft 3-Phase Metered PDU, 5.7 kW, 48 Outlets, NEMA L21-20P Input Connection

The Tripp Lite PDU3MV6L2120 is a 0U, 3-phase metered rack PDU rated for 5.7 kW, with 48 outlets and built-in meters that report input current per phase. It suits data centers and densely equipped racks using a NEMA L21-20P 208V input.

Recommended For

• Data-center or server-rack operators with compatible 208V three-phase service who need to distribute power to multiple C13/C19 devices and check current on each phase locally.
• Rack builders who want a 0U vertical PDU to add many power outlets without using horizontal rack space.
• IT teams powering a mix of 208V rack equipment and a smaller number of 120V devices, using the PDU’s C13/C19 and NEMA outlets.
• Technicians who need a local, at-the-rack view of input current by phase when checking or balancing a three-phase load.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a data-center rack with a compatible 208V three-phase feed, an operator can power a mix of 208V servers and 120V network or support equipment from one vertical PDU; the different outlet types help accommodate both without adding a separate distribution strip.
• When commissioning or adding equipment to a rack, a technician can check the built-in meters for current on each input phase and spot an uneven load before continuing; the meters show phase-level current, not per-outlet consumption.
• In a heavily populated rack, the vertical 0U installation keeps the PDU out of the equipment mounting spaces, leaving rack units available for servers and switches while providing outlets along the rack.
• For a rack with multiple dual-power-supply servers, an operator can connect equipment power cords to available outlets and use the retention brackets to help keep plugs seated; this PDU provides one input feed, so it does not by itself create A/B power redundancy.
• When planning power for a colocation or server-room rack, a facilities team can use the per-phase readings to check the rack’s current draw against its planned capacity; the readings can inform load checks but do not remotely monitor or control individual outlets.
