Eaton Metered Input Rack PDU — 1U, L6-20P Input, 10 ft Cord, 100-240V, 8x C13 Outlets

Elevate data-center power management with Eaton’s Metered Input rack PDU. Designed for compact spaces and demanding IT environments, this 1U power distribution unit delivers reliable, centralized power to critical equipment while providing precise energy monitoring. With a robust metered input, network-ready capabilities, and a convenient local display, it helps data centers, server rooms, and edge deployments optimize uptime, capacity planning, and operational efficiency.

• 1U rack-mount form factor with L6-20P input for flexible integration in standard server racks. This metered PDU supports 100-240V single-phase power and ships with a generous 10-foot cord to accommodate diverse rack layouts, making installation straightforward in both new builds and retrofits.
• Eight IEC C13 outlets give you scalable distribution to servers, storage devices, network switches, and other IT gear. The outlet layout and color-coding simplify cable management and labeling, helping technicians quickly identify powering paths during maintenance windows or during high-demand periods.
• Remote monitoring of current draw by segment enables centralized visibility across multiple ePDUs. When connected to the network, it feeds data into Eaton software and compatible DCIM systems, empowering capacity planning, trend analysis, and proactive load balancing to prevent overloading critical paths.
• Onboard local display provides immediate insight at the rack without requiring external software. Readouts typically include voltage, current, and energy usage, delivering essential feedback during equipment commissioning, maintenance, or rapid fault isolation.
• Reliability and manageability come standard—this PDU is designed to handle continuous operation in data centers, enterprise IT rooms, and edge locations. Its metered input design gives you granular power usage data at a sectional level, enabling smarter budgeting, energy efficiency initiatives, and longer device lifecycles.

How to install Eaton Metered Input Rack PDU

• Choose a suitable location in a standard 19-inch rack with at least one of the matched mounting rails and enough clearance for cable management and airflow. Align the PDU so that the front panel is accessible for the local display and outlet connections.
• Mount the PDU securely in the 1U space using the provided mounting hardware. Ensure the unit is level and firmly fastened to prevent vibration or accidental dislodgement during maintenance.
• Connect the 10-foot power cord to a properly rated AC power source that matches the L6-20P input specifications (100-240V, single-phase). Route the cord to minimize wear and avoid contact with hot surfaces or sharp edges.
• Route IT equipment power cables to the eight IEC C13 outlets, labeling each outlet to reflect its corresponding device or group. Maintain clean cable management to prevent tangling and to facilitate future audits or rearrangements.
• Power up the rack and verify readings on the local display. Access the Eaton network software or DCIM integration to begin collecting metered data, set alert thresholds, and configure dashboards for centralized monitoring across multiple ePDUs in your environment.
