With a 200-240V single-phase input, a robust 10-foot cord, and an impressive 5.76 kW maximum load, this PDU is designed to maximize rack density while providing precise energy data. The metered design offers real-time visibility into total power usage and per-outlet consumption, empowering IT teams to optimize capacity, reduce energy waste, and deliver accurate chargeback reporting. Color-coded outlet sections simplify load management, enabling rapid identification of critical devices and clean separation of high-demand equipment. For organizations pursuing sustainability and operational excellence, this Eaton PDU combines reliability, accuracy, and accessibility in a single, space-saving solution that fits seamlessly into standard 19-inch racks.

• Metred input with remote monitoring - This PDU delivers remote access to real-time energy data, providing voltage, current, and power usage metrics across the entire rack and per outlet. The centralized interface makes it easy to monitor, trend, and report energy consumption, supporting capacity planning, fault detection, and energy budgeting. With billing-grade accuracy, IT teams can trust the numbers for chargebacks and sustainability reporting, while facilities teams gain a clear view of hardware load distribution to optimize cooling and airflow. The 0U form factor ensures you don’t sacrifice valuable rack space while still gaining robust visibility into power delivery.
• Versatile outlet configuration for mixed equipment - Featuring 12 C13 outlets and 2 C19 outlets, this PDU supports a broad range of IT gear in a single enclosure. The color-coded outlet sections let you group critical devices (such as core switches, routers, and storage controllers) separately from less-critical equipment, enabling straightforward load management and reducing the risk of overload on any given group. Per-outlet monitoring helps you assign energy budgets, produce detailed usage reports, and implement chargeback strategies without guesswork. This versatility makes it ideal for data centers, server rooms, and high-density racks that require flexible, reliable power distribution.
• Zero-U design with durable, professional construction - The 0U footprint minimizes rack intrusion, allowing a clean integration into standard 19-inch racks without consuming vertical space. Built to endure the rigors of daily IT operation, the PDU remains stable under cable tension and airflow conditions typical in dense deployments. A 10-foot power cord provides flexible placement options within the rack or adjacent cabinet, helping optimize cable management and cooling airflow. The L6-30P input is a reliable power connector for 200-240V environments, delivering solid performance in data centers and edge facilities that demand efficiency and dependability.
• High-capacity power delivery with safety and reliability - With a maximum load of 5.76 kW, this PDU supports demanding devices while preserving power quality. The metered design helps you avoid overloads by offering precise electrical data in real time, enabling proactive load balancing and rapid response to power events. Built-in protective features help safeguard connected equipment from power fluctuations, while centralized metering data supports maintenance planning, compliance reporting, and energy optimization initiatives. This combination enables IT teams to run at peak efficiency without compromising uptime or equipment safety.
• Seamless integration for remote management and accurate accounting - The Eaton PDU is designed for effortless integration with remote management workflows. You’ll access energy data anytime, anywhere via a centralized interface, and the metering is calibrated for ±1% accuracy—ideal for chargeback and sustainability reporting. Export capabilities and compatibility with DCIM or asset management systems facilitate comprehensive visibility across your rack, enabling smarter decisions about capacity expansion, hardware upgrades, and power provisioning. By correlating power usage with actual workloads, you can optimize IT operations and achieve meaningful cost savings over time.
