Eaton EMA112-10 – 0U Vertical 16-Outlet Managed PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton EMA112-10 is a 0U vertical managed rack PDU offering 16 NEMA 5-15R outlets on a 120V, 12A circuit, positioned between the compact 8-outlet and high-density 24-outlet models in Eaton's managed PDU lineup. It fits server cabinets and network closets that need more outlets than an entry-level PDU but do not require a 20A or 30A circuit upgrade. This 0U vertical PDU installation preserves rack unit space while giving integrators remote monitoring of connected load.

Product Description

The EMA112-10 accepts a 120V, 12A input through a standard NEMA 5-15P plug and distributes power across 16 NEMA 5-15R outlets, delivering up to 1.44 kW of capacity. This outlet count is well suited to a mid-density server cabinet or network closet rack with a mix of switches, small servers, and rack-mounted AV or security equipment, without requiring the higher-amperage circuit that larger PDUs demand.

As a managed rack PDU, the EMA112-10 reports current draw over RS-232 and is compatible with Eaton's optional network management card for remote, Ethernet-based monitoring. This gives facilities and IT managers visibility into circuit loading in server rooms, network closets, and government facilities where remote diagnostics reduce the need for on-site checks.

Its 0U vertical mounting keeps the unit out of usable rack space, an important consideration in cabinets already populated with switches, patch panels, and compute equipment. The standard NEMA 5-15P input plug means it can typically connect to existing 15A commercial branch circuits without additional electrical work, simplifying deployment across multiple sites.

Integrators managing several server cabinets or network closets across a facility or portfolio of sites can standardize on the EMA112-10 for mid-density racks, keeping the same managed PDU platform, monitoring interface, and accessory ecosystem used across Eaton's broader EMA series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the EMA112-10 compatible with standard rack cabinets?

Yes. It mounts 0U vertically along the rear rail of standard 19-inch rack cabinets, which is the common configuration for server rooms, network closets, and colocation cabinets.

What circuit is required for the EMA112-10?

The unit needs a 120V, 12A circuit with a standard NEMA 5-15 receptacle, the same configuration found in most commercial building power outlets.

Can the EMA112-10 be integrated into a remote monitoring system?

Yes. It reports load data over RS-232 and supports an optional Eaton network management card for Ethernet-based integration with monitoring platforms.

How many devices can I connect to the EMA112-10?

The PDU has 16 outlets and a 1.44 kW maximum rating; the number of devices depends on the power draw of each connected item, so confirm total connected load stays within capacity.

What warranty does the EMA112-10 include?

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

Can Creation Networks help choose between the 8-, 16-, and 24-outlet models?

Yes. Creation Networks can help assess outlet count, circuit capacity, and monitoring requirements to recommend the right EMA-series PDU for a given rack.
