The Eaton 1.4kW Single-Phase Switched PDU with LX Interface delivers robust, intelligent power distribution designed for today’s demanding IT and industrial environments. Engineered for reliability and scalable management, this PDU provides precise outlet control, remote monitoring, and powerful load management to help you optimize uptime, protect critical equipment, and streamline operations in data centers, server rooms, and industrial racks. With sixteen 5-15R outlets, a long 10-foot cord with a 5-15P plug, and a compact 0U footprint, it combines performance and space efficiency in a single, feature-rich package that supports modern infrastructure. Whether you are deploying high-density servers, network switches, storage arrays, or a mix of IT devices, this PDU is built to meet your evolving power distribution needs while staying compliant with industry standards and procurement requirements.

• Comprehensive power distribution for critical IT and lab environments: The Eaton PDU is rated for 1.4 kW of distributed power across 16 outlets, giving you ample capacity to support multiple devices in one compact unit. The 5-15R receptacles are designed for common North American IT equipment, enabling simple, safe connections and organized cable management. The 0U form factor minimizes rack footprint, freeing valuable space for equipment while keeping power distribution centralized and easy to monitor. This configuration is ideal for edge data centers, micro data centers, and enterprise IT closets where reliability and efficiency are paramount.
• LX interface for remote monitoring and control: The PDU features an LX interface that enables remote visibility into voltage, current, power usage, and outlet-level status. With the LX interface, administrators can monitor real-time load, perform outlet-level switching, and generate alarms or alerts when thresholds are exceeded. This capability helps teams proactively manage energy consumption, prevent overloads, and rapidly respond to faults without onsite visits. The result is improved uptime, smarter capacity planning, and streamlined centralized management across racks and zones.
• Rugged, space-saving 0U rack-mount design with long-range power connectivity: The 0U footprint allows seamless integration into standard 19-inch racks without occupying rack height. The included 10 ft (3.05 m) cord with a 5-15P plug provides flexibility in placement, enabling you to position the PDU for optimal cable routing and airflow. The sturdy construction is designed to withstand the demands of busy IT environments, while the extended cord length reduces strain on wall outlets and distributes power more evenly across devices.
• Safety, compliance, and efficiency features: This PDU adheres to industry standards and procurement requirements with TAA compliance, making it suitable for government and regulated environments. Its design emphasizes safety and reliability, helping protect equipment from surges and faults while supporting efficient energy use. Whether you’re consolidating devices, consolidating runtimes, or implementing energy-aware operations, the Eaton switched PDU helps maintain stable power delivery and guard against unexpected outages.
• Easy management, installation, and scalability for growing infrastructures: The combination of a compact footprint, remote monitoring, and outlet-level control makes this PDU an essential component of scalable IT ecosystems. It simplifies initial deployment, ongoing monitoring, and future expansion, allowing you to add devices as your needs change without sacrificing control or visibility. The PDU’s straightforward wiring and plug configuration, along with LX-based management, support a smoother lifecycle—from initial setup to routine maintenance and upgrades.

How to install Eaton 1.4kW Single-Phase Switched PDU

• Identify an appropriate 19-inch rack location with sufficient clearance for airflow and cable management. Because this PDU is 0U, it does not require mounting rails for height clearance, but ensure it is positioned in a way that allows easy access to the LX interface and front/rear panel connections.
• Verify that your facility’s electrical system provides 120V single-phase power and that the receiving outlet can accommodate a 5-15P plug. Inspect the power source for any signs of damage before connection.
• Unbox the PDU and inspect for any shipping damage. Confirm that the 10 ft cord is intact and accessible, and identify the 16 outlets (5-15R) for load distribution planning.
• Connect the PDU’s 5-15P plug to a suitable wall outlet or power strip with adequate amperage capacity. Route the cord to minimize tension and protect it from foot traffic or equipment movement.
• Power on the PDU and access the LX interface to configure remote monitoring and outlet control. Set up alert thresholds, enable remote shutdown per outlet if supported, and map outlets to connected devices for accurate load tracking.
• Begin connecting IT devices to the 5-15R outlets, grouping equipment by power profile and criticality. After wiring, monitor load metrics through the LX interface to ensure you stay within safe limits and avoid overloading any single outlet bank.
