1U = 1.75 inches in height, and is the U from RU or rack unit. Its a measurement of space for something to take in the standard 19 inch racks used for everything these days. Used to also be called 1 pizza box, although I don't hear that much anymore. I do believe the measurements are all left over from the old telephone company days... and looking in Wikipedia I see that's right.
