Eaton Tripp Lite Series 200-250V 16A Single-Phase Hot-Swap PDU with Manual Bypass - 5 C13 and 1 C19 Outlets, 2 C20 Inlets, 1U Rack/Wall

Designed to keep critical IT hardware running during UPS maintenance, the Eaton Tripp Lite Series 200-250V 16A Single-Phase Hot-Swap PDU with Manual Bypass is engineered for mission-critical environments where every second of power matters. In modern data centers, edge deployments, and network closets, downtime translates into lost revenue, productivity, and customer trust. This 1U hot-swap PDU delivers a disciplined approach to power distribution, letting you perform routine UPS service without pulling the plug on servers, storage arrays, or networking equipment. Its manual bypass path provides a safe, controlled transfer of loads, isolating the UPS while maintaining essential power to connected devices. The design embraces flexibility: dual C20 inlets support redundant feeds for enhanced reliability, while the generous mix of outlets covers both compute and peripheral devices. With 200-250V compatibility and a 16A current rating, this PDU fits neatly into standard data center racks and smaller telecom collocation spaces, enabling clean cable management, optimized airflow, and scalable growth. The Eaton Tripp Lite Series is known for robust construction, precise electrical performance, and user-friendly installation, and that heritage shines through in this PDU. The unit is engineered to withstand the rigors of 24/7 operation, with high-quality connectors, solid wiring, and careful spacing to minimize heat buildup inside the enclosure. For IT managers who prioritize uptime, having a hot-swap PDU with a manual bypass means you can service the UPS without interrupting the load, quickly restore redundancy, and prevent cascading failures when a power supply needs routine maintenance or replacement. The combination of 5 C13 outlets plus 1 C19 outlet provides flexible distribution for a wide range of equipment — from blade servers and virtualized hosts to networking gear, storage arrays, and backup power accessories — while the 2 C20 inlets offer configuration options that align with facility power designs. In practice, this PDU helps you adhere to best practices for power distribution reliability: reduce downtime during UPS maintenance, simplify cabling, improve airflow with tidy management, and extend equipment life by avoiding abrupt power transitions. Whether you’re equipping a data hall, a remote edge site, or a critical network operation center, this 1U unit brings trusted performance in a compact footprint, allowing you to maximize rack density without sacrificing serviceability. The manual bypass feature is particularly valuable in environments where power continuity is non-negotiable, enabling technicians to isolate the UPS and perform maintenance tasks with confidence while the protected loads remain energized through the bypass path. In short, the Eaton Tripp Lite 200-250V Hot-Swap PDU is a strategic investment for businesses that demand high availability, efficient power distribution, and straightforward installation — a component that helps maintain service continuity, optimize energy usage, and simplify data center operations over the long term.
