Eaton EMA108-10 – 24-Outlet 120V Managed Rack PDU (TAA)

Product Overview

The Eaton EMA108-10 is a 24-outlet, 120V managed rack PDU built for server rooms and network closets that need more outlets than a standard 8-outlet unit without stepping up to 200-240V input. Rated for 2.88 kW on a 24A, L5-30P circuit, this managed PDU for server rack installations is a fit for dense 120V equipment loads such as edge switches, small form-factor servers, and AV processing gear. It gives integrators a high-outlet-count option for facilities that are limited to standard 120V branch circuits.

Product Description

The EMA108-10 accepts a single 120V, 24A input through a NEMA L5-30P twist-lock plug and distributes power across 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets, delivering up to 2.88 kW of usable capacity. This outlet count makes it well suited to network closets and server rooms with a mix of low-draw network switches, KVM equipment, and rack-mounted AV processing hardware that would otherwise require two separate 8- or 16-outlet PDUs.

As a managed PDU, the EMA108-10 monitors aggregate load over RS-232 and is compatible with Eaton's optional network management card for Ethernet-based remote monitoring, giving facilities managers visibility into circuit loading without a site visit. This is particularly useful in colocation cabinet and government space deployments where remote diagnostics reduce truck rolls.

The 0U vertical form factor keeps the PDU out of the usable rack unit space, an important consideration when a rack is already dense with servers, switches, and patch panels. Its 10-foot cord provides routing flexibility for facilities using overhead or under-floor power whips, and the L5-30P input plug matches many existing 30A, 120V circuits already installed in server rooms and network closets.

Integrators standardizing on 120V power distribution across multiple racks benefit from the EMA108-10's outlet density, reducing the number of PDUs, network cards, and monitoring endpoints that need to be tracked across a facility.

Key Features

• 24 NEMA 5-20R Outlets — Supports a dense mix of 120V equipment on a single PDU, reducing the number of units needed per rack.
• L5-30P Twist-Lock Input — Matches common 30A, 120V circuits already installed in many server rooms and network closets.
• 2.88 kW Capacity — Provides headroom for growing 120V equipment loads without upgrading to a 200-240V circuit.
• 0U Vertical Mounting — Preserves usable rack unit space for servers, switches, and AV processing equipment.
• Remote Monitoring — Reports load over RS-232, with optional network card support for Ethernet-based monitoring.
• UL Listed and TAA Compliant — Meets commercial safety standards and qualifies for TAA-restricted procurement.

Typical Applications

• Server room
• Network closet
• Colocation cabinet
• Government space

Frequently Asked Questions

What circuit does the EMA108-10 require?

The PDU requires a 120V, 24A circuit terminated in a NEMA L5-30P receptacle. Confirm this twist-lock circuit is already installed, or plan for an electrician to add one, before ordering.

How many devices can the EMA108-10 support?

With 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets and 2.88 kW of capacity, the PDU can support a large number of low-draw devices such as network switches, KVMs, and small servers, provided total connected load stays within the rated capacity.

Does the EMA108-10 integrate with existing rack monitoring systems?

Yes. The PDU communicates over RS-232 and supports optional Eaton network management card accessories for Ethernet-based integration with monitoring and building management platforms.

Is the EMA108-10 a good fit for a network closet with limited power infrastructure?

It is a strong option where a 120V, 30A circuit is already available, since it consolidates outlet count without requiring a 200-240V upgrade. Confirm circuit capacity with a licensed electrician before installation.

What warranty comes with the Eaton EMA108-10?

Eaton provides a 3-year limited warranty on this PDU. Contact Eaton or Creation Networks for full warranty terms.

Can Creation Networks help confirm compatibility before purchase?

Yes. Creation Networks can help confirm circuit requirements, outlet configuration, and rack clearance for the EMA108-10 before you place an order.
