Eaton 2.9kW Single-Phase Monitored PDU with LX Platform Interface

Powering critical IT infrastructure with precision, the Eaton 2.9kW Single-Phase Monitored PDU delivers reliable distribution and intelligent power management for data centers and industrial environments. This 0U vertical PDU is designed to maximize uptime, optimize energy use, and simplify management through the LX Platform Interface, giving facilities teams real-time visibility into voltage, current, and overall power consumption across connected devices. With 24 flexible outlets and a secure L5-30P input, it supports dense racks, reduces cable clutter, and enables scalable, centralized control of power delivery for mixed workloads ranging from bare-metal servers to hyper-converged systems. The PDU's rugged construction and industry-standard form factor make it a practical choice for environments that demand reliability, efficiency, and simple integration with existing monitoring ecosystems.

• High-capacity, 120V power distribution: With a 2.9 kW rating, this PDU provides ample headroom for dense IT racks while maintaining clean, stable voltage delivery to 24 x NEMA 5-15/20R outlets that support a wide range of servers, switches, storage devices, and other critical equipment. The combination of power density and outlet flexibility helps data-center operators optimize rack density without compromising reliability or service levels. Whether you're expanding a small data closet or upgrading a larger rack fleet, this Monitored PDU keeps workloads online and energy usage predictable.
• Versatile input and locking plug: The 120V system is fed through a locking L5-30P plug, ensuring a secure connection in busy data-center environments. The locking mechanism reduces the risk of accidental disconnections during peak loads and maintenance windows, helping keep critical workloads online and protected from unexpected power loss. This design also supports easier routing on cable manifolds and improves overall cabinet organization for administrators managing dozens or hundreds of outlets.
• Space-saving 0U vertical design: Architected for 0U installation, this PDU slides neatly into the rear of standard 19-inch racks, leaving front-panel space for cable management and airflow. Its vertical orientation gives you a tidy, scalable power distribution solution that supports high-density blade servers, hyper-converged infrastructure, and growing rack footprints. The compact footprint helps maintain optimal cooling performance and allows front-of-rack devices to remain accessible without compromising power reliability.
• LX Platform Interface for remote monitoring: The LX Platform Interface delivers real-time insights into power metrics, enabling remote monitoring, alerting, and reporting from a single, centralized console. IT teams can track voltage stability, current draw, energy usage trends, and peak-load events, then take action to balance loads, avoid overload, and optimize efficiency across the data center. With LX, administrators can schedule reports, set thresholds for auto-notifications, and integrate power data with existing DCIM ecosystems for holistic infrastructure management.
• TA A-compliant, durable engineering for demanding environments: Built to handle the rigors of data-center deployments and industrial facilities, the PDU adheres to Trade Agreement Act procurement standards and is designed for long-life operation in temperature-controlled enclosures and managed environments. This ensures reliable performance, simple vendor management, and consistent compatibility with enterprise-grade power architectures. The rugged enclosure, combined with 0U installation, makes it a dependable component for scalable, modular data center foundations and industry-grade deployments.

How to install Eaton 2.9kW Single-Phase Monitored PDU

Follow these steps to deploy the PDU safely and effectively in a standard 19-inch rack environment:

• Prepare the rack space: Verify compatibility with 19-inch racks and ensure mounting rails are accessible for a 0U module. Confirm adequate clearance for cable routing, airflow, and service access in both rear and side areas of the cabinet.
• Mount the PDU: Use the supplied mounting hardware to secure the PDU in the rear portion of the rack, aligning with cable management paths and ensuring a stable, vibration-tolerant installation suitable for busy data centers.
• Connect input power: Plug the L5-30P into a properly rated 120V circuit that can handle the anticipated 2.9 kW load, and verify circuit protection matches the PDU’s requirements. Route the power cord to minimize trip hazards and maximize cooling airflow.
• Attach devices: Connect servers, switches, storage, and other equipment to the 24 x 5-15/20R outlets, balancing loads across multiple receptacles to maintain voltage stability and prevent overloading any single leg of the circuit.
• Configure LX monitoring: Connect the LX Interface to your management network, assign an IP address, and configure dashboards, alert thresholds, and scheduled reports to match your operational workflows. Ensure proper authentication and access controls are in place for secure remote management.
• Power-on and verify: Turn on power, monitor initial readings in the LX Portal, and confirm voltage, current, and power metrics align with expected values for your workload. Validate that alerts and data logging are active and that you can access the PDU remotely as designed.
