Eaton EMA111-10 – Compact 120V Managed Rack PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton EMA111-10 is a compact 120V managed rack PDU designed for network closets and small IT racks that need reliable, monitored power without a large outlet count. With 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets on a standard 120V, 12A circuit, this managed PDU installation fits smaller commercial deployments such as branch office network closets, small server rooms, and AV equipment racks. Integrators use it where a compact rack PDU with remote monitoring is preferred over a basic unmanaged power strip.

Product Description

The Eaton EMA111-10 accepts a standard 120V, 12A input through a NEMA 5-15P plug, the same plug configuration found in most commercial building receptacles, and distributes power across 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets rated to 1.44 kW maximum. This makes it a practical fit for network closets and small server rooms that lack dedicated 20A or 30A circuits, since it can connect to a standard 15A commercial outlet.

As a managed rack PDU, the EMA111-10 reports load information over RS-232 and supports Eaton's optional network management card for remote, Ethernet-based monitoring, allowing IT staff at a branch office or small facility to check load conditions without visiting the site. This is useful in distributed environments where a single administrator may be responsible for power monitoring across several remote network closets.

Its compact, low-profile design suits smaller wall-mount or rack-mount enclosures common in branch offices, small commercial meeting spaces with AV racks, and network closets where rack depth and width are constrained. The 10-foot cord provides enough reach for most closet and small server room installations.

For integrators standardizing on Eaton's managed PDU platform across a larger deployment, the EMA111-10 provides an entry point for smaller sites while keeping the same monitoring architecture and network card accessories used on higher-outlet-count models elsewhere in the portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What electrical circuit does the EMA111-10 need?

It requires a standard 120V, 12A circuit with a NEMA 5-15 receptacle, the same plug type found in most standard commercial outlets, so no special electrical work is typically required.

Is the EMA111-10 suitable for a small server room?

Yes. Its 8-outlet count and compact footprint make it a good fit for small server rooms and network closets that do not need a high-density PDU.

Can this PDU be monitored remotely?

The EMA111-10 reports load data over RS-232 and supports an optional Eaton network management card for Ethernet-based remote monitoring across multiple sites.

How is the EMA111-10 installed in a rack?

It mounts 0U vertically along the rear rail of a standard 19-inch rack using included brackets, and connects to a 120V, 12A outlet using its 10-foot cord.

What warranty applies to the Eaton EMA111-10?

Eaton backs the EMA111-10 with a 3-year limited warranty. Contact Eaton or Creation Networks for complete terms.

Does Creation Networks support small deployments like branch office closets?

Yes. Creation Networks works with integrators and IT managers on both single-rack and multi-site deployments, including sizing and monitoring configuration for compact PDUs like the EMA111-10.
