Eaton EMAU06-10 – 2U Managed Rack PDU, 16 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton EMAU06-10 is a 2U managed rack PDU built for data centers, server rooms, and network closets that need mid-density power distribution with remote monitoring. Rated for 200-240V, 24A input and 5.76 kW maximum output across 16 outlets, it supports a rack full of servers, switches, and storage nodes from a single horizontal unit. As a managed PDU for server rack power distribution, it reports voltage, current, and power factor over its network interface, giving IT teams visibility into load without a site visit. Its 2U rack-mount form factor and single-phase 208-240V input make it a practical upgrade path for facilities standardizing on managed power in colocation cabinet and network closet deployments.

Product Description

The EMAU06-10 is part of Eaton's ePDU Managed platform and is engineered for commercial IT environments where mid-density racks need reliable, monitored power without the complexity of a three-phase installation. Input arrives through a NEMA L6-30P plug rated 200-240V at 24A, delivering up to 5.76 kW across a mix of 12 IEC C13 and 4 IEC C19 outlets, a configuration suited to a rack combining standard servers with a few higher-draw devices such as storage arrays or blade chassis. The unit occupies 2U of rack space and mounts horizontally, which some integrators prefer over 0U vertical units when rear rail clearance is limited or cable management channels are already in use. Management is delivered over a network RJ-45 interface, reporting voltage, current, and power factor at the PDU level so facilities staff can identify circuits approaching capacity before a breaker trips. This switched managed capability also supports remote outlet cycling, useful for rebooting unresponsive equipment in a server room or network closet without dispatching a technician. Because the EMAU06-10 runs on a single-phase 208-240V circuit rather than three-phase power, it is compatible with a wider range of existing commercial electrical infrastructure, simplifying retrofits in facilities that were not built with three-phase data center power in mind. Facilities managers upgrading a network closet or colocation cabinet from a basic power strip to a managed rack PDU commonly select the EMAU06-10 for its balance of outlet count, power capacity, and network-based monitoring. The unit's 3-year limited warranty and UL Listed construction support deployment in regulated commercial and government facilities.

Key Features

• 16 Mixed Outlets — Combines 12 C13 and 4 C19 receptacles to power both standard servers and higher-draw equipment from one PDU.
• 5.76 kW Capacity — Supports a fully populated mid-density rack on a single 24A, 208-240V circuit.
• 2U Horizontal Mounting — Fits racks where rear rail space is already committed to cable management or other equipment.
• Network-Based Monitoring — Reports voltage, current, and power factor remotely via RJ-45 for proactive load management.
• Remote Outlet Switching — Allows staff to power-cycle individual devices without visiting the rack in person.
• Single-Phase Input — Simplifies installation in facilities without dedicated three-phase electrical service.
• Commercial-Grade Certification — UL Listed and RoHS compliant for use in regulated commercial and government environments.

Typical Applications

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What electrical circuit does the EMAU06-10 need?

It requires a single-phase, 200-240V, 24A circuit terminating in a NEMA L6-30P receptacle. Have a licensed electrician confirm your panel supports this before installation.

Does the EMAU06-10 mount vertically or horizontally?

It is a 2U horizontal rack-mount unit, installing in the front or rear rail like standard rack equipment rather than mounting vertically along the rear channel.

Can I monitor individual outlet load remotely?

Yes. The EMAU06-10 reports voltage, current, and power factor over its network interface, and supports remote outlet switching for power cycling connected devices.

Is this PDU compatible with common data center monitoring software?

Its network-based monitoring is designed to integrate with standard DCIM and IT monitoring tools used to track rack-level power consumption.

What is the difference between the EMAU06-10 and EMAU07-10?

Both are 2U, 5.76 kW managed PDUs with similar single-phase input; they differ primarily in outlet mix and configuration. Contact Creation Networks to confirm which outlet configuration fits your equipment before ordering.

What is the warranty on the EMAU06-10?

The EMAU06-10 carries Eaton's 3-year limited warranty. Contact Eaton or Creation Networks to confirm terms for your specific order.

Can Creation Networks assist with rack power planning before I purchase?

Yes. Creation Networks can help integrators calculate rack load requirements and confirm the EMAU06-10's outlet configuration matches planned equipment before purchase.
