Eaton Metered Input Rack PDU, 0U, 309-460P9 input, 17.3 kW max, 200-240V, 48A, 6 ft cord, Three-phase, Outlets: (48) C13, (12) C19

Maximize data-center reliability and energy visibility with Eaton's Metered Input Rack PDU. This compact 0U ePDU delivers granular power monitoring, scalable performance, and seamless integration with Eaton’s management software and DCIM ecosystems. Designed for dense rack environments, it blends precise electrical measurement with robust construction, empowering your IT team to optimize load balancing, capacity planning, and uptime across many racks in a single, centralized dashboard.

• Remote monitoring of the current draw for each section via built-in network communication, delivering granular power visibility at the rack, row, or enclosure level. This metered input capability feeds precise electrical data into Eaton’s software suite and compatible DCIM platforms, enabling aggregation across many ePDUs in a single pane of glass. Real-time measurements, historical trends, and configurable alerts empower proactive capacity planning, load balancing, and immediate fault detection, helping reduce the risk of overcurrent conditions and unplanned downtime. The per-section data can be exported or integrated with existing data center infrastructure monitoring workflows to streamline operations and reporting to stakeholders.
• Designed for high-density deployments, the 0U rack-mount form factor optimizes rack space while delivering a comprehensive outlet mix. With 48 C13 and 12 C19 outlets, it accommodates a wide range of server, storage, and networking devices, enabling clean cable management and improved airflow in busy data centers. The metered input design provides visibility into per-section draw, so you can map loads to specific devices or groups and correlate with asset inventories for precise capacity planning and asset management.
• Powered by a 200-240V three-phase supply, this PDU supports up to 48A and up to 17.3 kW of load capacity, giving you scalable headroom for modern compute and storage clusters. This configuration helps reduce upstream feeder oversubscription and supports efficient cooling by maintaining appropriate power density. The three-phase setup aligns with typical data center power distribution strategies and simplifies integration with multi-phase UPS systems and upstream power distribution schemes.
• The 6 ft power cord provides flexible installation options across racks in standard data centers, allowing neat cable routing and minimized strain on connections. This length balances reach with cable management, reducing clutter inside the rack and promoting better airflow. The PDU’s rugged construction is built to withstand the rigors of daily rack life, including frequent cable changes, maintenance cycles, and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
• Beyond remote monitoring, a local front-panel display offers quick status checks in busy environments, enabling technicians to verify load, voltage, and outlet activity without logging into software. The sturdy enclosure design and enterprise-grade components deliver dependable operation in 24/7 data-center settings, with attention to thermal performance, secure mounting, and long service life under continuous use. This combination of local visibility and remote management makes it easier to keep critical systems powered and performing at peak efficiency.

How to install Eaton Metered Input Rack PDU

• Step 1: Verify rack compatibility and confirm that the upstream electrical supply is 200-240V, three-phase, and capable of delivering up to 48A. Review facility safety procedures and ensure power is de-energized during installation.
• Step 2: Mount the PDU into the rack’s 0U space according to your rack manufacturer’s installation guidelines, ensuring secure anchoring and proper alignment with inlet/outlet access and cable management zones.
• Step 3: Route the 6 ft power cord to the appropriate upstream power source or distribution point, using compliant cable routing, strain relief, and protective grommets to maintain airflow and prevent damage to cables.
• Step 4: If you plan to enable remote monitoring, connect the PDU to your management network and configure the Eaton software or DCIM integration to begin collecting per-section current data and status information.
• Step 5: Label outlets, organize cabling for airflow, and power on the PDU. Validate that all outlets are accessible and that monitoring displays register correctly, then perform a load audit to confirm current usage aligns with expectations.
