In context
Input plugs, output outlets, branch protection, metering, and communication functions vary by product. Rack mounting does not mean a device carries only small currents.
Example
Even rack PDUs with the same appearance may have different input voltages, input currents, and outlet limits.
Key distinction
Check specified electrical conditions before appearance and outlet count.
