Tripp Lite by Eaton 2.9kW Single-Phase Monitored Per-Outlet PDU - LX Platform

The Tripp Lite by Eaton LX Platform Monitored Per-Outlet PDU is a purpose-built power distribution solution designed for small to mid-sized data centers, computer rooms, and high-density network closets. Engineered to deliver reliable, scalable power with granular visibility, this 2.9kW single-phase PDU provides per-outlet monitoring across a dense 24-outlet configuration, helping IT and facilities teams optimize uptime, manage energy usage, and extend equipment life. Built for enduring performance in demanding environments, the LX Platform PDU combines rugged construction with intelligent monitoring to deliver precise, actionable data for proactive capacity planning and rapid fault isolation. Whether you are deploying a compact rack footprint or scaling to multi-rack deployments, this PDU makes it easier to keep critical devices powered, organized, and protected.

• Per-outlet monitoring with real-time visibility: Each receptacle is monitored to track voltage, current, and status, enabling proactive power management. With outlet-level data, technicians can identify bottlenecks, prevent overload conditions, and quickly locate failing devices without trial-and-error testing.
• High-density, versatile outlet configuration: 24 x 5-15/20R outlets provide broad compatibility for servers, storage, switches, and other rack gear. The 120V design supports common IT equipment while offering flexible cabling options that improve airflow and cable management in dense rack environments.
• Single-phase input for simple integration: The PDU accepts power from a single-phase 120V source and uses a Legrand-style L5-30P input connection, facilitating straightforward integration into standard electrical infrastructure. This combination supports reliable power distribution without the complexity of three-phase configurations in smaller deployments.
• 0U rack-mount form factor for efficient rack space use: With a zero-U height, the LX Platform PDU minimizes its footprint in the rack, leaving more room for equipment and cable management. Its slim profile helps maximize equipment density in crowded data centers and server rooms, while maintaining accessible outlets and intuitive cable routing.
• TAA-compliant and built for reliability: This PDU complies with Trade Agreement Act requirements, making it suitable for government and enterprise procurement. Its robust design leverages trusted components to deliver long-term reliability, reduced maintenance, and steady performance in critical environments.

how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 2.9kW Single-Phase Monitored Per-Outlet PDU - LX Platform

• Plan the rack placement: Select a suitable rack location with adequate ventilation and accessible front-panel outlets to maximize airflow and ease of maintenance.
• Prepare the rack: Install the rack rails and ensure the 0U PDU can slide into the designated slot without obstruction. Use appropriate cage nuts and screws to secure the unit at the top and bottom as required by your rack design.
• Connect the input: Insert the L5-30P input plug into a properly rated 120V power source. Ensure the circuit can handle the anticipated load and follow your organization’s electrical safety protocols.
• Load the outlets: Connect IT devices to the 24 x 5-15/20R outlets, distributing power evenly to minimize hotspots and maintain balanced loads across the rack.
• Verify operation and monitoring (where applicable): Power up the rack and confirm that outlets are delivering power and that any monitoring features are functioning per your standards. If your environment includes an integrated management interface or monitoring tools, configure alerts and dashboards to match your data-center policies.
