Eaton ePDU TPC2234-A2-F 8-Outlets 1.92kW PDU

The Eaton ePDU TPC2234-A2-F is a compact, high-efficiency 1U horizontal power distribution unit designed for dense server racks and data center environments. With eight NEMA 5-20R receptacles and a single NEMA 5-20P input, this PDU delivers reliable, scalable power distribution at 120 V AC, supporting up to 1920 W (16 A) of load. Built to streamline rack power management, the TPC2234-A2-F helps IT teams improve uptime and productivity by organizing connections, reducing clutter, and ensuring a balanced distribution of power across devices. Ideal for mid-density racks in data centers, colo facilities, or edge deployments, this Eaton ePDU is engineered to meet the demands of modern IT infrastructure while preserving precious rack space.

• Eight NEMA 5-20R outlets for versatile device connectivity. The TPC2234-A2-F provides eight receptacles that accommodate a wide range of servers, storage devices, switches, and other IT equipment commonly deployed in current racks, enabling you to power multiple devices from a single, centralized source.
• 1U horizontal form factor saves valuable rack space. Designed to fit into standard 19-inch racks, this PDU minimizes the footprint required for power distribution, leaving more room for airflow and other essential gear in dense environments.
• 120 V AC input with a 1920 W (16 A) capacity. Supporting typical enterprise IT loads, the PDU delivers sufficient current to support a diverse mix of devices, helping to prevent overload while maintaining consistent performance across the rack.
• NEMA 5-20P input, NEMA 5-20R outlets ensure compatibility. The standard US power configuration makes it easy to integrate into existing infrastructure without special adapters, simplifying installation and reducing potential electrical mismatches.
• Designed to distribute power and balance loads across outlets. The PDU layout supports even loading of connected devices, reducing the risk of overloading a single outlet and promoting more stable operation for critical servers and networking gear.

how to install Eaton ePDU TPC2234-A2-F

• Prepare the rack Ensure the mounting area is clear and the rack is stable. Check that mounting rails are compatible with a 1U horizontal PDU and that there is sufficient clearance for airflow.
• Mount the PDU Align the 1U chassis with the rack rail holes and secure it using appropriate screws or mounting hardware. Tighten screws evenly to avoid warping and ensure a secure fit.
• Connect the input power Plug the NEMA 5-20P inlet into a designated 120 V outlet that matches your data center’s power distribution plan. Verify that the circuit can safely handle up to 16 A continuous load.
• Route and organize cables Run power cables to each device, keeping cords orderly and away from airflow paths. Use cable ties or management channels to minimize tangling and maintain clean airflow around the rack.
• Distribute power to devices Connect servers, storage, and networking gear to the 8 x NEMA 5-20R outlets. Observe a balanced loading approach by distributing high-draw devices across multiple outlets to avoid concentrating power on a single receptacle.
• Test and monitor Power on devices in a staged manner, verifying that each outlet provides stable voltage and that there are no tripping breakers. Periodically inspect cabling and outlet temperatures to maintain safe operation.
