Eaton Tripp Lite Series 200-250V 10A Single-Phase Hot-Swap PDU with Manual Bypass – 6 C13 Outlets, 2 C14 Inlets, 1U Rack/Wall

The Eaton Tripp Lite hot-swap PDU is engineered for mission-critical data center environments where uptime, reliability, and flexibility are non-negotiable. Designed to operate in 200-250V power environments, this single-phase PDU delivers a steady 10A of capacity to support racks filled with high-performance servers, storage devices, and network gear. Its 1U form factor fits compact racks and can be deployed in both traditional data center rows and edge installations, making it a versatile choice for modern IT infrastructures. With its manual bypass capability and hot-swap design, maintenance and service can proceed with minimal impact on connected equipment, ensuring business continuity even during routine maintenance or component swaps.

Whether you’re outfitting a new data center or upgrading an existing rack for higher reliability, this PDU provides the smart balance of capacity, flexibility, and ease of use. The combination of 6 C13 outlets and 2 C14 inlets gives you ample distribution points for common servers, storage arrays, and networking devices, while the dual inlets enable proactive power architecture planning—supporting redundancy and safe load distribution across feeds. The rugged construction and straightforward mounting options help maximize rack density while keeping cabling organized and accessible for future upgrades. In environments where every rack unit counts, this Eaton Tripp Lite PDU stands out for its practical design and robust performance.

• 200-250V, 10A capacity tailored for mid-to-large IT deployments and critical equipment that require reliable power distribution.
• Hot-swap PDU with manual bypass enables service and maintenance without interrupting power to connected devices, preserving uptime.
• Six C13 outlets and two C14 inlets provide flexible power distribution and redundant feed options for multi-source configurations.
• 1U rack/wall-mount compatibility supports flexible deployment in standard 19" racks or on wall-mount brackets for compact spaces and edge locations.
• Durable, purpose-built design focused on data center reliability, ease of installation, and long-term serviceability in demanding environments.

In addition to its core capabilities, the PDU is designed with thoughtful details to simplify deployment and ongoing management. The 1U footprint ensures high rack density, while the dual inlet design supports diverse power architectures and future growth. The outlets are arranged to accommodate common server and storage configurations, and the inlets are positioned to minimize cable clutter and promote clean, organized cabling. This attention to cable management not only improves airflow and cooling efficiency but also reduces the risk of accidental disconnections during maintenance tasks. The result is a cost-effective, scalable solution that helps data centers maintain optimal uptime while enabling straightforward expansion as capacity needs evolve.

For operators focused on efficiency and risk management, this hot-swap PDU with manual bypass offers a compelling combination of features. The manual bypass path provides a safe, controlled power route during maintenance, enabling technicians to service hardware without removing power from the entire rack. This reduces downtime, shortens maintenance windows, and supports Service Level Agreement (SLA) reliability targets. As data centers continue to evolve toward higher densities and more complex power architectures, PDUs like this Eaton Tripp Lite model become essential tools for maintaining uptime, protecting equipment, and simplifying day-to-day operations.

How to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 200-250V 10A Single-Phase Hot-Swap PDU with Manual Bypass

Follow these guidance points to ensure a safe, efficient installation that maximizes uptime and accommodates future growth:

• Prepare the installation area by ensuring adequate clearance for rack mounting and for proper ventilation around the 1U unit.
• Mount the PDU securely in a standard 19" rack or attach it to a compatible wall-mount bracket, aligning with existing equipment and cable paths to minimize strain on cords.
• Connect the two C14 inlets to your power sources according to your data center’s redundancy strategy. Ensure that voltage and frequency specifications match the facility requirements (200-250V as rated).
• Distribute power to the six C13 outlets by planning an organized cable layout that avoids tangling, reduces clutter, and preserves airflow for optimal cooling.
• Power up the rack, verify that the PDU and connected devices initialize correctly, and test the manual bypass path according to your maintenance procedures to confirm uninterrupted operation when servicing other components.

Safety and best practices are essential during installation. Ensure all power is within the rated range, use manufacturer-approved mounting hardware, and follow your facility’s electrical safety guidelines. Label cables and ports to facilitate quick identification during maintenance, and maintain clean, unobstructed access to the PDU for future servicing. Proper installation not only protects equipment but also extends the life of the PDU by reducing wear on connectors and preventing overheating caused by crowded, unmanaged cabling.
