Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.44kW 120V Single-Phase ATS/Monitored PDU

The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.44kW 120V Single-Phase ATS/Monitored PDU is a high‑performance power distribution unit engineered to deliver reliable, scalable power management for IT applications and equipment racks. This 1U, rack‑mountable PDU blends robust electrical distribution with automatic transfer switching and real‑time monitoring to help data centers, server rooms, and network closets stay online under demanding conditions. Designed for 19‑inch racks, it provides efficient cabling, flexible deployment, and peace of mind for critical devices—from servers and storage systems to switches and telecom gear. With eight NEMA 5-15R outlets, dual 5-15P inputs, and 12‑foot cords, the Series PDU offers ready redundancy and convenient reach for a variety of cooling, power management, and management software environments. The compact footprint keeps valuable rack space available for critical equipment while simplifying maintenance and troubleshooting. Whether you’re building a new rack, upgrading an aging distribution path, or implementing a high‑availability IT infrastructure, this monitored PDU helps you optimize uptime, visibility, and control over your power distribution.

• Redundant power with dual inputs and automatic transfer switching (ATS). This PDU supports two separate power sources and automatically switches to a secondary supply to maintain uptime during primary power disturbances, helping protect servers, storage, and networking gear from unexpected outages.
• Monitored power distribution for actionable visibility. Real‑time outlet monitoring and status indicators provide critical insight into load conditions and power health, enabling proactive management and smarter capacity planning for busy rack environments.
• Compact 1U rack‑mount design for efficient space use. The slim profile fits standard 19‑inch racks without sacrificing accessibility, reducing cable clutter while maximizing available rack space for high‑density deployments.
• Eight NEMA 5-15R outlets for versatile device connections. These widely compatible outlets simplify cabling, support common IT devices, and allow orderly distribution of power across servers, switches, KVMs, and other equipment in the rack.
• Flexible installation with 12 ft input cords. Long cords support versatile placement within the rack or adjacent cabinets, enabling you to implement a robust, redundant power path without repositioning critical hardware.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 1.44kW 120V Single-Phase ATS/Monitored PDU

• Plan your deployment by identifying two independent power sources (such as two UPS outputs or two separate utility feeds) to maximize the benefits of dual inputs and ATS.
• Power down devices you plan to connect to the PDU and remove any loose cables from the rack area to ensure a clean installation environment.
• Mount the PDU in the 1U slot of a standard 19‑inch rack, using the included mounting hardware if applicable, and confirm the device sits securely and level.
• Connect each of the dual 5-15P input plugs to its respective power source, ensuring cords are routed safely and do not interfere with airflow or access to other equipment.
• Cord the eight NEMA 5-15R outlets to your IT devices, grouping critical gear on outlets that align with your redundancy and monitoring strategy.
• Power on the PDU and verify ATS status indicators. Ensure the unit correctly recognizes both power sources and that the automatic transfer switching engages as intended during a simulated power disturbance.
• Access any available monitoring interface or status LEDs to confirm real‑time load, outlet health, and power source status. Configure alerts or integration with your data center management system if supported.
• Label cables and organize the rack to maintain clear separation between power and data pathways, supporting easier maintenance and faster fault isolation in the future.

Frequently asked questions

• What does ATS/Monitored mean for this PDU? ATS stands for Automatic Transfer Switching. It allows the PDU to automatically switch to a secondary power source if the primary source experiences a disturbance, helping maintain uptime. Monitored means the PDU provides visibility into power status and outlet conditions so you can monitor load and alert on abnormalities.
• How many outlets are available and what type are they? The PDU provides eight NEMA 5‑15R outlets, offering broad compatibility with standard IT equipment used in office, data center, and small campus environments.
• Can I use two separate power sources with this PDU? Yes. The dual 5‑15P inputs are designed to connect to two independent power sources, enabling redundancy and enhanced uptime through ATS.
• Is the PDU suitable for 1U rack installations? Absolutely. The PDU is a 1U, 19‑inch rack‑mountable unit, making it ideal for space‑constrained environments and dense rack configurations.
• Is this PDU compliant with government procurement standards? Yes. The unit is TAA compliant, making it suitable for government and other regulated procurement environments where the Trade Agreements Act is a requirement.
