Description
Eaton ATS rack PDU, 1U, (2) 5-20P input, 1.92 kW max, 120 V, 16 A, 6 ft cord, Single-phase, Outlets: (10) 5-20 R
Elevate your data center, server room, or network closet with the Eaton ATS rack PDU. This 1U intelligent power distribution unit is designed to keep critical equipment safe and available by automatically managing dual power sources. Whether you’re running redundant power feeds in a mid-size data center or provisioning a high-density rack in an IT closet, the Eaton ATS rack PDU provides fast, seamless transfer between primary and secondary inputs without interrupting operations. Built for reliability, efficiency, and straightforward management, this PDU helps you minimize downtime, simplify power infrastructure, and extend the life of your critical equipment.
- Dual-input power design for resilience — Accepts two 5-20P inputs, enabling a secondary source to take over instantly if the primary source experiences a fault or outage. This automatic transfer capability is essential for non phase-synchronized AC power environments, ensuring continuous operation of critical devices such as servers, storage arrays, and networking gear.
- Fast, seamless transfer with intelligent monitoring — The ePDUs incorporate intelligent circuitry that continuously monitors both inputs and executes a rapid transfer switch when necessary. The result is minimal power interruption to connected equipment, helping protect against data loss, hardware stalls, and unplanned downtime during source transitions.
- Compact 1U rack-mount form factor — Space-efficient design fits in standard 19-inch racks, allowing you to consolidate power distribution without sacrificing precious rack space. The sleek 1U profile makes it ideal for high-density deployments where vertical space is at a premium, while still providing robust, reliable power delivery to payload devices.
- High power capacity for demanding equipment — With a 1.92 kW maximum power rating at 120 V and a 16 A capacity, this PDU is designed to support modern servers, switches, and KVM appliances that require steady, uninterrupted power without overloading the distribution path. The 6 ft cord length offers flexible placement options inside the rack and enables clean cable management.
- 10 outlets of reliable 5-20R receptacles — Ten standard 5-20R outlets provide ample connectivity for a range of devices in a single 1U chassis. These outlets are arranged to simplify cord routing and minimize clutter, helping you maintain organized, accessible power distribution for critical equipment in busy data environments.

how to install Eaton ATS rack PDU
- Place the 1U PDU into a standard 19-inch server rack and align with mounting holes. Use appropriate cage nuts and screws to secure the unit firmly, ensuring there is adequate clearance for airflow and cable management behind the unit.
- Connect the two input power sources to the (2) 5-20P inputs. Use quality power cords that meet the electrical requirements of your facility and verify that both sources are correctly wired and protected by appropriate breakers or power distribution paths.
- Route the 10 outlet cords to your IT devices, keeping power and data cables organized. Group related devices together to simplify maintenance and reduce the chance of accidental disconnections during source transfers.
- Verify protection and transfer functionality during setup. Ensure the automatic transfer switch senses both inputs and is configured to switch seamlessly from primary to secondary power as needed. Conduct a controlled test by simulating a primary source disruption to observe the rapid transition without impact to connected equipment.
- Power on the rack and confirm status indicators. Validate that all outlets are energized as expected and that connected devices recover promptly after a source transfer. Document the installation for future maintenance and align your monitoring tools to observe real-time ATS activity.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: What is the Eaton ATS rack PDU designed to protect? A: It is engineered to protect critical IT equipment, such as servers and networking gear, by automatically switching to a secondary power source to prevent downtime during power interruptions.
- Q: How does the automatic transfer switch work? A: The ATS continuously monitors both input sources and executes a fast transfer when it detects a fault or interruption in the primary source, providing near-zero downtime for essential devices.
- Q: What kind of devices can be powered by the 10 outlets? A: The 10 outlets are standard 5-20R receptacles suitable for a wide range of IT equipment, including servers, switches, storage appliances, PDUs, and related rack-mounted hardware.
- Q: Is a 1U PDU enough for high-density deployments? A: For many mid-density configurations, a 1U ATS PDU provides sufficient power distribution, redundancy, and manageability. For extremely dense deployments, consider pairing with additional PDUs or higher-capacity units to meet total power and redundancy requirements.
- Q: What installation considerations should I plan for? A: Plan for proper rack mounting, cable management, and ventilation. Ensure both input sources are properly protected and that the PDU is mounted in a location with easy access for monitoring, testing, and service. Use compatible grounding practices and that the total load does not exceed the unit’s 1.92 kW maximum rating.
