Eaton EMAGKEC3C3C3C3L – 100A 3-Phase HDX Rack PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton EMAGKEC3C3C3C3L is a hardwired, 3-phase managed HDX rack PDU built for the highest-density server racks in data centers and colocation facilities. With a 100A input and 36kW of output capacity, this managed rack PDU targets large-scale compute deployments, including GPU clusters and high-density blade racks, where a plug-and-cord input isn't practical. Facilities engineers and data center integrators specifying hardwired PDUs for permanent, high-capacity rack installations will find this configuration suited to demanding commercial-grade power distribution needs.

Product Description

EMAGKEC3C3C3C3L is part of Eaton's EMA managed rack PDU family, in the HDX high-density line, distinguished by its hardwired input rather than a plug-in cord, a design choice common for PDUs drawing very high current where a standard connector isn't rated or practical. It runs on a 208V three-phase supply at a 100A current rating, connected via hardwire termination directly to the branch circuit, and distributes power across 36 outlets (24x C13 and 12x C39) for a total capacity of 36kW.

Use the product photo to see the narrow aluminum chassis and outlet spacing along its roughly 69-inch vertical profile. Being a managed PDU, it includes outlet-level control, letting facilities staff remotely monitor load and power-cycle individual devices without visiting the rack. This is particularly valuable in high-density GPU or HPC racks where phase balancing and thermal headroom need close monitoring.

Because this unit is hardwired, installation requires a licensed electrician to terminate the 100A three-phase feed at the panel; plan electrical work accordingly when specifying this PDU for a new build-out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this PDU hardwired instead of using a plug-in cord?

At a 100A input rating, standard plug-in connectors aren't practical or rated for the current draw, so this unit is designed for direct hardwire termination to the branch circuit.

Does installation require an electrician?

Yes. Because the unit is hardwired to a 100A three-phase feed, installation must be performed by a licensed electrician.

What outlet types does this PDU provide?

36 total outlets: 24x C13 and 12x C39, covering a range of standard and higher-draw equipment power cords.

Is this PDU suitable for GPU or high-performance compute racks?

Yes. Its 100A input and 36kW capacity are sized for high-density GPU clusters and blade server racks where phase balancing and thermal headroom require close monitoring.

Does this PDU support remote monitoring?

Yes. As a managed PDU, it includes outlet-level control, letting facilities staff remotely monitor load and power-cycle individual devices.

What warranty applies to this rack PDU?

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