Basic PDU

Providing reliable and cost-effective power distribution, the basic PDU offers IEC outlet grips, tool-less installation in server racks, colour-coded outlet sections and a high operating temperature.

Metered input PDU

With all the features of the basic PDU, the metered input PDU provides the ability to reduce infrastructure costs by daisy-chaining up to eight PDUs under a single IP address. The metered input PDU simplifies load balancing and helps prevent overloads.

Metered outlet PDU

Monitor and measure critical power quality factors such as voltage, current and power consumption with a metered outlet PDU. These server rack mounted PDUs help conserve energy with Level 3 power usage effectiveness, ideal for optimising data centre performance.

Managed PDU

Also known as switched PDUs, Eaton’s managed PDUs offer the same power quality measurement and monitoring capabilities as the metered outlet PDU with additional controls built in. Gain control at the outlet level with remote on/off switching and group reboot for A and B feeds.

High density PDU

The newest edition to the G3 line, Eaton's high density (HD) PDU has everything you have come to expect from rackmount PDUs with the added bonus of being configurable. The HD PDU is a completely configurable PDU. With options to select the input power, circuit protection and types of outlets, this PDU provides exactly what your specific data centre needs.
