Tripp Lite by Eaton 23kW 3-Phase Switched PDU with LX Interface

In modern data centers, uptime and intelligent power management are as critical as the servers themselves. This 23 kW three-phase switched PDU from Tripp Lite by Eaton delivers enterprise-grade power distribution with advanced network control, empowering IT teams to monitor, manage, and optimize power at the outlet level. The LX Interface, combined with a Gigabit management network, provides secure, scalable administration for racks in data centers, server rooms, and high-density network closets. With a built-in LCD, outlet monitoring, and the ability to turn on, turn off, reboot, or lock out individual outlets, this PDU helps you reduce downtime, improve energy efficiency, and simplify fault isolation across complex IT environments.

Designed for demanding environments, this PDU supports high-density deployments where every watt matters. Its 3-phase input and distributed outlet topology help balance loads across legs, minimize voltage drop, and keep critical devices up and running during peak demand. The unit’s rugged construction and 0U rack-mount form factor ensure it integrates cleanly into standard server racks without consuming valuable cabinet space. Whether you’re refreshing a portion of a data hall, expanding a compute cluster, or implementing a scalable power-management strategy, this PDU brings visibility, control, and reliability to your power distribution strategy.

With remote power management, you gain the ability to respond quickly to issues without sending technicians to the rack. The LX interface provides secure, authenticated access over a Gigabit network, enabling centralized control and monitoring across multiple PDUs. This capability is especially valuable for data centers that require consistent configuration, rapid restarts after firmware updates, and automated alerts for abnormal power usage. The integrated LCD offers on-site insight when a network connection isn’t available, and outlet monitoring delivers real-time status to help operators identify overloaded circuits, balance loads, and enforce efficiency policies across the rack footprint.

• High-capacity 23 kW three-phase switched PDU built for data centers, server rooms, and high-density network closets. It distributes power with precision, enabling granular control over every outlet so critical workloads receive reliable power while non-critical devices can be cycled during maintenance to minimize downtime and maximize rack availability.
• LX Interface with Gigabit Ethernet delivers robust, network-based power management and monitoring. You can remotely turn on, turn off, reboot, or lock out individual outlets from anywhere on the management network, reducing mean time to repair (MTTR) and keeping maintenance windows predictable. The interface supports secure login, role-based access, and real-time status updates that help operators stay informed and respond quickly to power events.
• 24 independently controllable outlets with outlet monitoring and an on-board LCD display. Monitor per-outlet status, voltage, and usage trends to optimize load distribution, detect anomalies early, and enforce disciplined power policies. The LCD provides quick, at-a-glance information during local maintenance and initial commissioning, ensuring visibility even when network connectivity is limited.
• Rigid power input and space-efficient footprint tailored for data centers. The PDU uses 380-415V three-phase input with IEC 309 32A red connectors and a 1.8-meter supply cord. A 0U rack-mount design keeps footprint minimal while leaving room for cable management and airflow, which is crucial for maintaining thermal performance in dense racks.
• TAA-compliant construction for federal and government procurement. Built to endure the rigors of data-center operation, the PDU integrates seamlessly with existing Eaton Tripp Lite power-management ecosystems, supporting long-term serviceability, warranty coverage, and compatibility with widely adopted DCIM workflows.

How to install Tripp Lite LX Interface Switched PDU

• Plan your rack layout and confirm the PDU weight and mounting dimensions align with your rack’s rails. Install the PDU in a front-to-back orientation that aligns with your cooling and cable-management strategy, ensuring that air flow around the back of the rack is not obstructed.
• Turn off the facility power and verify the circuit protection is in place before making any connections. Connect the IEC 309 32A red input connectors to the appropriate three-phase power source, taking care to match phases and ensure a secure, locked connection.
• Route the 1.8-meter power cord cleanly within the rack and connect the other end to the distribution path that feeds the PDU’s input. Avoid tight bends and keep the cord away from fans or other moving components to prevent wear or obstruction.
• Power up the PDU and begin network provisioning. Connect the LX management port to your network switch or management network, assign an IP address (static or via DHCP), and configure administrative credentials, access control, and notification policies. Use the LCD during initial setup if network access is temporarily unavailable or for quick reference checks.
• Connect IT devices to the 24 outlets and label cables for clear identification. Enable outlet monitoring, configure alert thresholds, and test turn-on, turn-off, reboot, and lockout commands for individual outlets to validate functionality and ensure predictable behavior during routine maintenance or in case of a fault.
