Eaton 2.9kW Single-Phase Switched PDU - LX Interface, 120V Outlets (24 5-15/20R), 10 ft. Cord with L5-30P, 0U, TAA

The Eaton 2.9kW Single-Phase Switched PDU is a purpose-built power distribution solution designed to deliver reliable, scalable power management for IT and industrial environments. Engineered for dense rack deployments, it combines a compact 0U footprint with robust outlet control and LX interface capabilities, enabling precise energy monitoring, remote management, and selective power cycling across a fleet of devices. With 24 individual 5-15/20R outlets, a 10-foot cord ending in an L5-30P plug, and TAA compliance, this PDU is ideal for data centers, server rooms, lab environments, and other mission-critical facilities where uptime and efficiency matter. Whether you’re optimizing workloads, extending hardware life, or streamlining remote administration, this switched PDU helps you reduce cost-of-ownership while improving operational visibility.

• Granular outlet control and remote management: Each of the 24 outlets can be independently controlled, allowing IT teams to perform remote power cycling, implement orderly startup/shutdown sequences, and enforce power policies across racks. This capability reduces troubleshooting time, prevents cascading failures, and improves service availability in busy data centers and industrial settings.
• LX interface for seamless IT integration: The LX management interface provides an intuitive dashboard for real-time power monitoring, event logging, and outlet-level configuration. It integrates easily with existing DCIM, ITSM, and building management systems, enabling proactive capacity planning and centralized control across multiple PDUs and racks.
• High-efficiency 2.9 kW power capacity at 120V: Designed to support dense IT workloads, this PDU delivers reliable distribution at 120V with optimized efficiency and thermal performance. Its switched functionality helps reduce energy waste and ensures devices receive stable power for consistent performance and longer equipment life.
• Compact 0U form factor with long 10 ft cord: The slim 0U footprint allows installation behind racks or in tight enclosures, saving valuable rack space. The 10-foot cord provides flexibility for routing power from outlets, PDUs, or distribution cabinets, accommodating varied deployment topologies.
• Durable, compliant design for professional deployments: Built to endure demanding environments, this TAA-compliant PDU is suitable for government, enterprise, and regulated facilities. Its rugged construction supports daily operation in data centers, laboratories, and industrial facilities while meeting stringent compliance requirements.

How to install Eaton 2.9kW Switched PDU

• Prepare the installation: Verify electrical requirements match your facility’s 120V supply and ensure the rack or enclosure has adequate space for a 0U PDU behind the equipment. Confirm safety procedures and lockout/tagout policies as needed.
• Mount the PDU: Slide the 0U PDU into the rear or back-side rails of the rack, aligning mounting points for secure support. Tighten fasteners to ensure the unit remains stable during operation and cable management activities.
• Connect the input power: Route the 10 ft. cord to a power source with an L5-30P receptacle. Ensure the connection is solid and that the power source can carry the aggregated load without tripping breakers.
• Connect devices to outlets: Distribute IT equipment across the 24 outlets (5-15/20R). Use color-coded or labeled outlet radios if available to simplify management and future troubleshooting.
• Configure LX interface: Access the LX management interface to configure outlet-level policies, alert thresholds, and power-up/power-down sequences. Enable logging and set up notification channels for proactive monitoring.
• Test operation: Power on devices in a staged sequence to verify proper startup, load balancing, and policy enforcement. Confirm that remote management features respond correctly and that monitoring data is accurately captured.

Frequently asked questions

• What applications is the Eaton 2.9kW Switched PDU best suited for? It is ideal for data centers, server rooms, network closets, and industrial facilities that require precise power control, remote management, and scalable outlet distribution for dense IT deployments and equipment fleets.
• Can I monitor energy usage and receive alerts with this PDU? Yes. The LX interface provides real-time power monitoring, event logs, and alert configurations, enabling proactive management of power consumption and capacity planning across multiple PDUs and racks.
• Is this PDU compatible with hot-swappable devices and dynamic workloads? The switched design and outlet-level control support dynamic loads and remote power sequencing, helping to manage startup/shutdown sequences and reduce the risk of inrush or cascading outages during maintenance.
• What does 0U mounting mean for installation? A 0U form factor means the PDU does not occupy any standard rack unit height, allowing you to save vertical space for servers and other equipment while still providing reliable power distribution behind the front or rear of the rack.
• Is the Eaton PDU compliant with government procurement standards? Yes. The unit is TAA-compliant, making it suitable for government, education, and enterprise deployments that require traceable sourcing and compliance with government procurement guidelines.
