Eaton ATS Rack PDU — 1U Dual-Input, 10x 5-15R, 120V, 12A, 1.44 kW

The Eaton ATS Rack PDU is an advanced power distribution solution engineered for mission-critical applications. In a compact 1U form factor, it brings together intelligent power management, reliability, and efficiency to keep essential IT equipment powered continuously. Designed for data centers, server rooms, and network closets, this PDU maximizes uptime by providing dual-input redundancy, flexible mounting, and a clean, organized approach to rack wiring. With two inputs configured for hot-swap or automatic transfer switching, ten standard 5-15R outlets, and a 10 ft cord, it delivers dependable power delivery where it matters most—directly to your servers, switches, storage devices, and other critical gear.

• Redundant dual input with automatic transfer: The Eaton ATS Rack PDU supports two 5-15P inputs and incorporates an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) mechanism. In the event of a power source issue, the PDU automatically selects a healthy feed, preserving uptime without manual intervention and reducing the risk of unplanned outages for critical equipment.
• Ten versatile outlets for flexible connectivity: Outlets are provided as (10) 5-15R, allowing you to power a diverse mix of devices—from servers and storage to network switches and KVMs—from a single, organized power distribution point. The standard 5-15R configuration ensures broad compatibility with common IT gear.
• Space-saving 1U design for dense racks: Occupying a single rack unit, this PDU maximizes rack density and frees valuable floor space in the data center. The slim profile simplifies cable management and helps maintain better airflow around critical equipment, contributing to effective cooling and overall data-center efficiency.
• Efficient, reliable power at 120V: Rated for 120V, 12A and up to 1.44 kW, the Eaton PDU provides sufficient headroom for modern IT loads while maintaining predictable, stable power delivery. Its single-phase configuration aligns with common data-center power distribution schemes, enabling straightforward integration with existing infrastructure.
• Built for mission-critical environments: Engineered for uptime and dependable performance, this rack PDU is well-suited for data centers, telecom rooms, and high-density IT deployments. It delivers durable construction and robust power distribution to support continuous operation of essential equipment over the long term.

How to install Eaton ATS Rack PDU

• Plan the installation by identifying two power sources on separate circuits to enable true redundancy. Ensure both sources are suitable for 120V operation and located in a safe, accessible area of the rack room.
• Mount the PDU in a standard 19-inch rack, occupying 1U of height. Use appropriate rack screws and hardware, and ensure there is sufficient clearance for cable management and airflow.
• Connect each of the two input power sources to the two 5-15P inputs on the rear of the PDU. Verify the cords are rated for the intended amperage and that connections are secure and properly sealed from movement or strain.
• Route power cords and data cables neatly to minimize tangling and maximize cooling efficiency. Place powered devices on the 5-15R outlets to balance load across the outlets and avoid overloading any single circuit.
• Power on the PDU and verify that both input sources are live and that the units connected to the outlets are receiving power. Test a simulated power outage on one input to confirm the ATS functionality transfers power to the healthy source without interrupting critical equipment.
