The Tripp Lite Metered PDU (PDUMH30) offers a practical power distribution solution for equipment racks requiring 30A input at 120V. Its metered display provides real-time current monitoring, helping prevent overloads by allowing users to track load levels visually. The unit features twelve NEMA 5-15/20R outlets arranged in a single bank, all powered through a locking L5-30P plug attached to a 15-foot cord. This configuration ensures compatibility with standard server and networking gear while maintaining a secure connection. Constructed with a durable all-metal housing, the PDU is built to withstand continuous operation in data centers, server rooms, or network closets. The 1U rack-mount form factor fits seamlessly into standard 19-inch racks, occupying minimal vertical space. Internal components are rated for reliable performance under sustained loads, with the metered display offering accurate readings to assist capacity planning. The unit’s design emphasizes stability and heat dissipation, supporting consistent uptime in critical environments. The straightforward installation process requires no software or drivers; simply mount the unit, connect the input power cord, and plug in equipment. The front-facing outlets simplify cable management, while the rugged metal chassis resists physical wear. At a price point that represents strong value compared to similar metered PDUs, this model delivers essential monitoring and power distribution without unnecessary complexity. It is well suited for IT professionals seeking a cost-effective way to manage power loads across multiple devices. The metered function provides a continuous digital readout of total current draw, enabling users to balance loads or identify potential issues before they cause disruptions. The housing is finished in a professional black coating that matches standard rack equipment.

The Tripp Lite PDUMH30 combines practical monitoring, reliable construction, and affordable pricing, making it a sensible choice for both new installations and upgrades within existing power infrastructure.
