Eaton EMA326-10 – 3-Phase Managed Rack PDU, 0U Vertical

Product Overview

The Eaton EMA326-10 is a 3-phase managed rack PDU built for data centers and colocation cabinets that need outlet-level power monitoring and remote control. Its 0U vertical form factor mounts in the rear channel of a standard rack, keeping usable rack units free for servers, switches, and patch panels. With 8.64 kW of available output across 18 C13 and 6 C19 receptacles, this managed rack PDU delivers dense server rack power distribution from a single 24A three-phase feed. Integrators specifying a rack PDU for colocation cabinet builds or network closet upgrades get remote outlet switching and load visibility in one device.

Product Description

The EMA326-10 belongs to Eaton's ePDU G3 managed platform, a product line built for commercial data center and IT infrastructure deployments where uptime and power visibility matter as much as raw capacity. Input arrives through a NEMA L15-30P three-phase plug rated 200-240V at 24A, 50-60 Hz, feeding a mixed bank of 18 IEC C13 and 6 IEC C19 outlets for a combined maximum load of 8.64 kW. Because the unit is 0U, it installs vertically along the rear rail of most standard 19-inch racks, preserving front rack space for compute and network gear rather than consuming U space of its own. The managed feature set includes outlet-level monitoring and switching over an RS-232 serial interface, letting facilities and IT staff remotely cycle power to individual devices, schedule reboots, and track load per outlet without a site visit. That makes this managed rack PDU a practical choice for colocation cabinet and server room deployments where remote-hands support is limited and unplanned downtime is expensive.

Outlet grips on the C13 and C19 receptacles help retain cords in racks that see frequent service or vibration from adjacent cooling equipment. At approximately 66.5 inches of mounting length and 19.8 lb, the unit is sized for full-height enclosures rather than compact wall-mount cabinets, and its 10-foot input cord provides routing flexibility to overhead or under-floor power whips common in raised-floor data center rooms. Organizations standardizing on a single managed PDU family across a data center footprint can pair the EMA326-10 with other ePDU G3 SKUs for consistent monitoring and outlet-level control across every cabinet.

Key Features

• Outlet-Level Monitoring — Tracks voltage, current, and load per outlet to identify overloaded circuits before they trip a breaker.
• 0U Vertical Mounting — Installs in the rear channel of a standard rack, so it does not consume horizontal rack space needed for servers or switches.
• 3-Phase 8.64 kW Capacity — Delivers high-density power distribution from a single 24A, three-phase L15-30P input.
• Mixed Outlet Bank — Provides 18 C13 and 6 C19 receptacles to support both standard IT equipment and higher-draw devices from one unit.
• RS-232 Remote Management — Enables remote power cycling and monitoring for equipment installed in unstaffed or lights-out facilities.
• Commercial-Grade Construction — UL Listed and RoHS compliant construction supports deployment in regulated commercial and government facilities.

Typical Applications

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

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the EMA326-10 compatible with standard 19-inch server racks?

Yes. It mounts vertically (0U) along the rear rail of standard 19-inch racks and does not require dedicated U space, making it compatible with most open-frame and enclosed cabinets used in data centers and server rooms.

Does this PDU require a network connection to function?

No. The EMA326-10 manages outlets over an RS-232 serial connection, so it does not require Ethernet connectivity to provide monitoring and remote switching, though it can be paired with a serial-to-network adapter for centralized management.

What electrical service does the EMA326-10 require?

It requires a 200-240V, three-phase, 24A circuit terminating in a NEMA L15-30P receptacle. Confirm your facility's panel capacity and phase configuration with a licensed electrician before installation.

Can this PDU integrate with existing IT and AV monitoring systems?

Yes. Its managed, outlet-level monitoring is designed to integrate with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) tools and building/facility monitoring platforms commonly used by IT and facilities teams.

What is the warranty on the Eaton EMA326-10?

Eaton backs this unit with its standard manufacturer warranty; contact Creation Networks for the current term and any extended coverage options.

Can the outlets be switched individually?

Yes. As a managed PDU, the EMA326-10 supports outlet-level switching, allowing remote power cycling of individual connected devices without affecting the rest of the rack.
