Connectivity and compatibility

This unit is designed to integrate smoothly with standard rack servers, network switches, and UPS systems that operate within the 100 to 120 volt AC range. The six NEMA 5-20R outlets accommodate common power plugs used in data centers and branch offices. Its 16 amp capacity supports typical loads found in small to medium server racks, making it a practical choice for maintaining uptime during UPS maintenance or battery replacement.

Installation and setup

The MBP20A6 fits into a standard 1U rack space, making it easy to install alongside existing equipment. For environments without rack infrastructure, the included hardware allows the unit to stand securely in a tower orientation. The 6-foot utility cord and 3.3-foot UPS cord provide flexible placement options, reducing cable clutter and simplifying connections to power sources.

Ideal uses and environments

This maintenance bypass PDU is well suited for data centers, branch offices, and manufacturing floors where uninterrupted power is critical during planned UPS maintenance. It supports IT professionals and facility managers who need to perform preventive work without risking downtime or data loss. Its robust metal housing and clear power source indicators make it reliable in demanding environments where heat and vibration are common.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
