This basic PDU is built to meet the demands of continuous operation, helping you protect uptime and improve efficiency in dense rack environments.

• High-capacity, reliable power distribution: This PDU delivers up to 2.9 kW of power at 120V, making it suitable for powering multiple servers, switches, storage devices, PDUs, and other rack-mount equipment. The 12 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets are arranged to support a variety of devices, giving IT managers flexibility to connect a mix of 5-15 and 5-20 rated loads. The result is a centralized, organized power distribution solution that helps reduce outlet crowding and simplifies cable management in busy racks.
• Flexible input and rugged rack-mount design: A common L5-30P input connection provides a stable, professional-grade power inlet compatible with standard facility power. The 10-foot cord length offers ample reach from the UPS or wall outlet to the rack, enabling clean cable routing and better floor-space utilization. With a 36-inch overall length in a 0U rack-mount form factor, this PDU occupies minimal space while fitting flush against the back of the rack for streamlined installation and maintenance access.
• Durable construction with safety-minded features: Built to support continuous operation in data centers and IT closets, this PDU is designed with a rugged housing and quality connectors to withstand daily handling and plug-in activity. While maintaining a compact footprint, it focuses on reliability, consistent performance, and ease of service—helping to minimize unplanned downtime and reduce maintenance complexity in high-density environments.
• Enhanced cable management and accessibility: With its 0U profile and standard rack compatibility, the PDU enables neat, scalable power distribution without intruding on front-panel space. The arrangement of outlets and the length of the cord facilitate efficient cable routing, aiding air flow and reducing the likelihood of accidental disconnections during servicing. This design supports tidy cabling practices, which contribute to better thermal performance and easier inventory management.
• Versatile deployment for data centers, computer rooms, and network closets: The Eaton Tripp Lite Basic PDU is well suited for a range of IT environments—from small deployments to larger facilities. It helps standardize power delivery to racks, simplifies asset tracking, and supports routine maintenance with clearly defined outlets and a reliable power inlet. This makes it a practical choice for organizations looking to optimize rack-level power distribution while protecting critical equipment.

How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2.9kW 120V Single-Phase Basic PDU

Installing this PDU is straightforward and designed for minimal disruption to existing rack setups. Begin by verifying compatibility with your rack chassis and confirming that your power source can support 2.9 kW at 120V. Ensure the rack is securely mounted and that the installation area has adequate clearance for cord routing and airflow. Mount the PDU in a standard 19-inch rack, aligning it with the back of the cage to maintain a clean, accessible work area. Connect the L5-30P input plug to a dedicated, suitable power receptacle using a power distribution unit or a UPS that can handle the load. Route the 10-foot cord along cable management channels or tie-wraps to prevent tangling and maintain clean, orderly cabling. Once connected, distribute devices across the 12 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets with attention to load balance and total power draw to avoid overloading any single outlet bank. After powering on, periodically monitor for heat buildup around hot spots and ensure adequate ventilation. For routine maintenance, label cords and outlets to simplify future upgrades or troubleshooting, and keep a log of connected devices to track consumption and plan capacity upgrades as your IT environment grows.
