The Eaton 1.4kW Single-Phase Switched PDU with LX Interface is a high-performance power distribution solution designed for today’s demanding IT environments. Built to deliver dependable power to critical equipment while offering powerful, easy-to-use management features, this 1U PDU is ideal for data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments. With 120V input, 16 outlets, a 12-foot cord, and a compact form factor, it fits neatly into standard racks and supports streamlined cable layouts. The LX Interface brings advanced monitoring, per-outlet control, and proactive alerting into a single, intuitive platform, helping IT teams maximize uptime, optimize energy usage, and simplify operational workflows.

Whether you’re powering dense blade servers, virtualization hosts, storage arrays, or network devices, this PDU provides the visibility and control necessary to maintain stable power delivery. Eaton’s design emphasizes reliability and ease of use, so IT staff can focus on delivering services rather than fighting with power management. The combination of a robust mechanical design, thoughtful outlet arrangement, and an integrated LX management layer makes this switched PDU a valuable addition to any rack infrastructure seeking improved reliability, efficiency, and scalability.

• Precise outlet-level power control paired with real-time status feedback helps prevent downtime and speeds fault isolation. With independent switching for all 16 outlets, you can reboot or isolate devices without disrupting adjacent equipment, enabling granular maintenance windows and safer batch actions across multiple servers or devices.
• LX Interface delivers centralized monitoring, alarms, and remote control over a secure network. Real-time voltage and current readings, load distribution views, and customizable alerts enable proactive management, reducing the risk of overload on critical circuits while simplifying routine audits and capacity planning.
• High-density, mission-critical capacity supports a wide range of IT gear. At 1.4 kW (approximately 1,400 watts), this PDU provides ample headroom for modern servers, high-density storage, and essential networking gear, ensuring power remains stable under peak loads and during surge events.
• 16 outlets designed for compatibility and clean cable management. The NEMA 5-15R outlets offer broad compatibility with common IT equipment, while thoughtful outlet spacing and layout help minimize cable clutter and improve airflow around equipment in the rack.
• Flexible installation with a 12-foot cord in a 1U form factor. The long power cord and compact profile simplify deployment in a wide range of rack configurations, allowing you to position the PDU for optimal wiring paths, easier servicing, and better overall rack aesthetics.

How to install Eaton 1.4kW Switched PDU

• Plan your rack placement to ensure adequate clearance for heat dissipation, access to the LX interface, and clean cable routing around the rear of the rack.
• Mount the PDU in a suitable 1U slot using standard 19-inch rack mounting rails or brackets. Align the mounting holes, snugly secure the unit with the provided hardware, and verify there is no stress on the cord or outlets.
• Connect the 12-foot power cord to a properly rated 120V AC power source. Ensure the circuit breaker or fuse protection on the circuit matches the PDU’s power requirements to support safe operation under full load.
• Route power and data cables carefully to minimize interference and maximize airflow. Plug devices into the 16 outlets (5-15R) as needed, organizing cables by function or department to simplify future maintenance.
• Configure the LX interface for remote management: connect the PDU to your network, authenticate access, and set up user roles, access controls, and alert preferences. Establish per-outlet policies if required, and verify that current, voltage, and outlet status appear accurately on the LX dashboard.
• Perform a functional test to confirm: monitor real-time load, toggle outlet states to validate remote control, and trigger a test alert to ensure notifications are correctly delivered to designated operators or monitoring systems.
