Tecmojo 1U Rack Mount 19 Outlet PDU Power Distribution Unit
Quick take
This 1U, 19-inch rack PDU is built for setups that need a lot of plug space in a small footprint. With 16 rear outlets, 3 front outlets, 4 USB ports, and a built-in circuit breaker, it can simplify powering AV, network gear, and servers in a cabinet or enclosure. The main tradeoff is practical install considerations like outlet accessibility and the power cord length.
Pros and cons
Pros
- High outlet count for 1U: 16 rear outlets plus 3 front outlets (19 total)
- Includes 4 USB ports, useful for powering compatible small devices from the rack
- Built-in circuit breaker for overload protection (rated for up to 12A/15A class operation)
- Sturdy metal housing with 19-inch rack mounting ears for a clean rack install
Cons
- Power cord length may be short depending on your rack placement, so you may need a plan for routing or an extension
- Using the front and pigtail-style power connections can require some care to avoid awkward plug handling
- Not a “smart” PDU, so remote monitoring or switching features are not part of the package
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence points to the Tecmojo PDU being practical and reliable for dense rack power. The most consistent positive theme is the sheer number of outlets in 1U, with buyers liking the split between rear and front connections for different plug types and wall-wart style adapters. Multiple buyers also highlight convenience features around usability, such as the rack-friendly layout and a switch design intended to turn off power to the rear outlets. On the downside, installation comfort comes up, specifically that the shorter power cord can affect routing, and that certain connection styles can feel less “firm” when plugging equipment in. Overall sentiment is supportive of value for rack users who need more connectivity in a compact footprint, though buyer-review evidence is not detailed enough to confirm long-term durability patterns beyond general satisfaction.
Key features that matter for rack setups
Outlet layout for real-world gear
This 1U rack PDU is designed to handle a mix of devices without forcing you into multiple bulky power strips. It combines 16 rear-facing outlets and 3 front-facing outlets, giving you flexibility for larger adapters behind the rack, and more accessible plugs up front.
Built-in overload protection
Safety in rack power usually comes down to overload control, and this unit includes a built-in circuit breaker for overload protection. If you are distributing power to multiple computers, network equipment, or AV components from one rack location, this circuit breaker approach is the key protective feature to understand.
USB ports for smaller powered devices
Alongside the AC outlets, the PDU includes 4 USB ports, which can reduce clutter when your setup includes gear that can run from USB power.
Rack fit and build
It is intended for standard 19-inch racks with mounting ears for installation. The enclosure is metal, which aligns with typical expectations for rack equipment durability.
Pros and cons in plain terms
Who it’s a good fit for
- Home labs and small server closets that need more outlets than typical 1U PDUs
- AV and networking racks where you want a mix of rear access for adapters and front access for frequently used plugs
- Users consolidating power to fewer, cleaner rack-mounted distribution points
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who needs remote monitoring or smart switching (this is not a smart home compatible PDU)
- Setups where rack-to-outlet distance is large, if your current cabling layout leaves you no room for a shorter cord
- People expecting a “tool-free, effortless” plug experience, since some connection styles may require more careful handling during setup
Price and availability
It is positioned as a mid-range rack PDU option, with pricing that can be meaningfully lower than some high-end models. For the most current cost and stock status in the US, check the live listing.
Verdict
The Tecmojo 1U Rack Mount 19 Outlet PDU is a solid choice when you need lots of rack power in one space, plus USB charging and overload protection. If you can plan around the power cord length and you understand how the front and rear outlet layout will affect your cable and adapter angles, it is a practical upgrade for dense AV, network, and small server rack builds.
