Eaton EMAT09-10 – 1U Managed Rack PDU, 8 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton EMAT09-10 is a compact 1U managed rack PDU designed for network closets, AV equipment racks, and lighter-load server rooms that need outlet-level power monitoring without consuming multiple rack units. Rated for 120V, 12A input and 1.44 kW maximum output across 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets, it is sized for edge closets and small IT rooms rather than high-density data center rows. Its 1U managed rack PDU footprint and RJ-45 network monitoring make it a practical choice for integrators standardizing remote power control across distributed network closets and commercial AV installations. The unit's low-voltage single-phase input also simplifies installation in facilities without dedicated three-phase circuits.

Product Description

The EMAT09-10 is part of Eaton's ePDU Managed platform, built for organizations that need remote visibility into smaller IT and AV equipment racks distributed across a building or campus. Input is a standard 120V, 12A NEMA 5-20P plug, feeding 8 NEMA 5-15R outlets for a maximum load of 1.44 kW, which comfortably supports network switches, small servers, wireless controllers, and AV signal processing equipment. Its 1U rack-mount, horizontal form factor installs in a single rack unit, an important consideration in shallow wall-mount cabinets and AV racks where space is limited. Remote management is delivered over an RJ-45 network connection, giving IT and AV support staff outlet-level monitoring and control from a central location rather than requiring a technician to visit each closet or rack. This is particularly useful for organizations managing power to distributed network closets, branch offices, or AV racks in commercial meeting spaces, where a technician dispatch for a simple power cycle is costly and slow. Because the EMAT09-10 draws from a standard 120V circuit, it can be installed in facilities without dedicated 208V or three-phase power, which is common in older buildings and smaller commercial spaces. The unit's compact depth also makes it suitable for shallow AV racks used in broadcast and presentation environments, where deeper 2U-or-larger PDUs may not fit. Facilities and AV integrators deploying a standardized remote-power strategy across multiple locations can use the EMAT09-10 as the baseline unit for lower-density racks, reserving higher-capacity PDUs for core data center rows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the EMAT09-10 fit in a shallow AV or network rack?

Yes. At approximately 8 inches of depth and 1U tall, it is sized to fit shallow AV and network racks where larger 2U or 0U vertical PDUs will not physically install.

Does this PDU require a special electrical circuit?

No. It runs on a standard 120V, 12A circuit through a NEMA 5-20P plug, making it compatible with typical commercial building power without dedicated 208V service.

Can I monitor outlet-level power draw remotely?

Yes. The EMAT09-10 provides network-based, outlet-level monitoring over its RJ-45 interface, so IT staff can check load and status without visiting the rack.

Is the EMAT09-10 suitable for AV equipment racks in meeting rooms?

Yes. Its compact 1U profile and standard 120V input make it a practical fit for AV racks in commercial meeting spaces and presentation rooms.

Does it integrate with existing network monitoring tools?

Its RJ-45 network interface is designed to integrate with standard IT monitoring platforms, allowing centralized visibility alongside other managed PDUs.

What is the warranty on the EMAT09-10?

The EMAT09-10 carries Eaton's 3-year limited warranty. Contact Eaton or Creation Networks to confirm current terms.

Can Creation Networks help select the right PDU for a distributed network closet rollout?

Yes. Creation Networks can help integrators compare the EMAT09-10 against higher-capacity managed PDUs to match each closet's actual load requirements.
