Abstract
High power outlet count PDUs are disclosed having sufficient access to latching features in basic, metered, and managed PDUs. The power outlets may be oriented and spaced apart from one another to allow sufficient access to a latch of a corresponding plug such that plugs may individually be removed from the corresponding power outlets with ease. For example, the power outlets may be arranged longitudinally along the PDU, and staggered widthwise and/or rotated to allow access to the latch(es).
