Eaton Managed rack PDU, 0U, 5-15P input, 1.44 kW max, 120V, 12A, 10 ft cord, Single-phase, Black, Outlets: (16) 5-15R

The Eaton ePDU G3 Managed rack PDU delivers enterprise-grade power distribution with precise outlet-level monitoring and robust remote management. Engineered for data centers, IT closets, and high-density server racks, this 0U, single-phase unit fits neatly into standard enclosures while providing critical visibility and control over power delivery. With 16 outlets (5-15R), a 10 ft cord, and a maximum load of 1.44 kW at 120V, it enables efficient load balancing, accurate energy reporting, and proactive capacity planning—helping you optimize uptime, reduce energy waste, and streamline chargeback processes.

• Outlet-level metering with billing-grade accuracy: Each outlet provides precise measurements of current, voltage, power, and energy, giving you granular visibility for chargeback, energy budgeting, and optimization across your IT rack. The data supports trend analysis, capacity forecasting, and informed decisions about workload placement and electrical infrastructure requirements.
• Local LCD pixel display for immediate insight: A clear on-device LCD pixel display delivers real-time metrics at a glance. This local readout complements remote monitoring, so technicians can verify key parameters—such as voltage and current at individual outlets—without navigating a web UI. The combination of local and networked visibility makes rapid troubleshooting straightforward during maintenance windows.
• Networked management with secure remote control: The G3 Managed PDU connects to your management network, enabling centralized monitoring, alerting, and control. Administrators can monitor outlet data, perform remote on/off operations, group outlets for controlled power sequencing, and receive proactive alarms to prevent unexpected downtime. This capability supports consistent IT operations and streamlined incident response.
• Load balancing and capacity planning enabled by real-time data: Real-time outlet data fuels accurate load balancing across your racks and improves capacity planning. By tracking energy usage per outlet, organizations can adjust workloads, optimize circuit usage, and prevent overloading—helping to maximize energy efficiency and ensure reliable performance for mission-critical equipment.
• Space-saving 0U form factor with ample, reliable outlets: The slim 0U design occupies minimal rack space while delivering 16 outlets (16 x 5-15R) suitable for a range of devices. With a 120V input, single-phase operation, and a 10 ft cord, this PDU provides flexible cabling options and clean, scalable power distribution for dense server rooms, labs, and IT closets.

How to install Eaton Managed Rack PDU

• Step 1: Plan and prepare the rack: Identify a standard rack with sufficient space for a 0U device and ensure there is clear access to the rear for outlet connections and cable management.
• Step 2: Mount the PDU in the rack: Slide the Eaton ePDU G3 into the rack and secure it using the appropriate mounting hardware for your enclosure. The 0U design minimizes vertical space consumption while leaving room for cable management and airflow.
• Step 3: Connect power input: Plug the 10 ft cord into a suitable 120V power source rated for at least 12A. Verify that the circuit can safely support the PDU’s maximum load of 1.44 kW when fully utilized.
• Step 4: Establish network management: Connect the PDU’s management interface to your IT network with an Ethernet connection. This enables remote monitoring, alerts, and control from your preferred network management tools or dashboard.
• Step 5: Connect devices and configure outlets: Plug servers, switches, storage, and other IT equipment into the 16 x 5-15R outlets. Use the local LCD display or the web-based interface to configure outlet groups, sequencing, alerts, and user permissions as needed.
• Step 6: Validate operation and alarms: Power on devices in a controlled sequence, verify real-time outlet metrics, and confirm that configured alarms trigger correctly. Make any necessary adjustments to thresholds or notification channels to align with your data center’s maintenance practices.
