Eaton Managed Rack PDU G3 — 1U, 8x 5-15R, 120V, 1.44 kW, 12A, 10 ft Cord
The Eaton Managed Rack PDU G3 is a purpose-built power distribution unit designed for modern data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments. This 1U, single‑phase PDU gives you full visibility into critical electrical parameters and the hands-on control needed to optimize energy use, improve uptime, and simplify capacity planning. With eight outlets rated for 5-15R, a 120V input, and a long 10-foot power cord, this compact PDU fits neatly into standard racks while delivering robust protection and intelligent management. Seamlessly integrated with Eaton’s management software, the G3 provides real-time monitoring of voltage, current and power factor, empowering you to balance workloads, reduce cooling costs, and extend the life of your IT assets. Whether you’re deploying new equipment, refreshing a data hall, or tightening governance over energy consumption, the Eaton G3 Managed Rack PDU delivers reliable, scalable power control with enterprise-grade reliability.
- Real-time electrical insight for smarter decisions. Monitor voltage, current, and power factor in real time, plus track energy usage and historical trends. The G3 PDU puts actionable data at your fingertips, enabling precise load balancing, proactive capacity planning, and targeted energy-saving initiatives across your rack footprint. With dashboards and reporting, you can confirm that critical servers stay within safe limits while non‑essential hardware is managed to optimize overall efficiency.
- Centralized control and automation to simplify operations. Remotely manage outlets, execute on/off commands, and configure alert thresholds through Eaton’s management software. By consolidating power policies and event notifications, the G3 PDU reduces manual intervention, accelerates incident response, and supports consistent governance across multiple racks and sites. This centralized control is ideal for hybrid environments, multi-tenant data centers, and scalable IT architectures where predictable power behavior matters.
- Compact 1U form factor for dense rack environments. The slim 1U profile fits into tight rack spaces without compromising the reliability or capability of your PDU. Designed for data centers, labs, and edge deployments, this form factor frees up precious rack real estate for servers, switches, and storage devices while delivering robust overload protection and dependable performance.
- Safe, predictable power distribution with solid performance. Rated for 12A continuous current and a maximum load of 1.44 kW at 120V, the PDU provides the electrical headroom needed for common server, networking, and storage equipment. Built to support uptime‑critical workloads, the G3 managed PDU helps mitigate electrical faults and supports better thermal management by enabling smarter load segmentation and monitoring.
- Plug-and-play installation with flexible reach. A 10-foot cord offers flexible placement within the rack and data hall, simplifying initial setup and future reconfigurations. The long cord length supports diverse rack layouts, side-by-side equipment, and convenient routing, reducing the need for additional cabling or adapters while maintaining clean, organized power distribution around your IT gear.

How to install Eaton Managed Rack PDU G3
- Prepare the rack area and power source. Ensure the rack is grounded and the 120V circuit you connect to has adequate capacity for the planned load.
- Mount the PDU into the rack using standard hardware. Slide the unit into the 1U space and secure it with screws or the included mounting hardware according to your rack’s guidelines.
- Route the 10-foot cord to a suitable power outlet or power strip that can safely handle 12A continuous load. Avoid coiling tight bends and ensure the cord is not trapped by other equipment.
- Connect devices to the eight outlets (5-15R) as needed, keeping critical equipment on prioritized outlets if your deployment strategy requires it. Distribute load to prevent overloading any single outlet bank.
- Power on the equipment and configure the PDU. Access Eaton’s management software to assign IP addressing, set alert thresholds, and enable monitoring for voltage, current, and power factor. Validate that data is being reported accurately and that remote management commands respond as expected.
- Create power policies and alerts. Set up thresholds that trigger alarms for overcurrent, undervoltage, or rapid changes in power factor, and ensure notification paths (email, SNMP traps, or other integrations) are correctly configured for your operations team.
- Test remote control features and reporting. Initiate a controlled outlet switch, verify status updates, review historical energy usage data, and confirm reports align with on-site meter readings for accuracy and reliability.
