Eaton EMI103-10 – Dual-Voltage 0U Metered PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton EMI103-10 is a dual-voltage, 0U vertical metered input PDU built for data center and colocation cabinet deployments that need flexibility across 100-240V circuits. This metered rack PDU installation option pairs an IEC C20 input with a billing-grade local LCD display, making it well suited to server rooms and network closets that require accurate, verifiable power monitoring for mixed 120V and 230V IT equipment. Its 21U vertical profile and C13/C19 outlet mix support both standard servers and higher-draw network gear in a single commercial-grade unit.

Product Description

The EMI103-10 accepts a wide 100-240V single-phase input rated to 16A through an IEC 60320 C20 connector, and distributes power across 18 IEC C13 and 2 IEC C19 outlets for a 3.84 kW maximum capacity. This dual-voltage input range makes it a versatile choice for facilities that standardize equipment across both 120V and 230V regions, or for integrators supplying racks destined for different electrical environments without needing separate SKUs. The unit's standout feature is its onboard LCD display, which shows current, voltage, power, and energy readings with plus-or-minus one percent billing-grade accuracy, giving facilities managers a level of metering precision suitable for cost allocation in colocation cabinets and multi-tenant data center environments. At 21U tall in a 0U vertical mounting profile, it runs a significant portion of a standard rack's height along the side or rear rail, keeping the C13/C19 outlet mix accessible near the equipment it powers rather than routing cords across the front of the cabinet. The included hot-swap meter module allows the metering component to be serviced or replaced without powering down connected equipment, a meaningful advantage in always-on data center and colocation cabinet environments where downtime is costly. Connectivity includes serial, RJ-45 network, and USB ports, supporting integration with network monitoring platforms in addition to the local LCD readout. Because this is a metered input unit rather than a switched or managed PDU, it reports aggregate and per-circuit load but does not provide remote outlet-level switching; facilities needing to power-cycle individual devices remotely should evaluate Eaton's managed PDU series. A built-in circuit breaker adds a layer of protection against overload conditions. This PDU is a strong fit for server rooms and network closets running mixed-voltage equipment, as well as colocation cabinets where tenants are billed based on precise, verifiable power consumption.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the EMI103-10 be used in both 120V and 230V regions?

Yes, its 100-240V input range allows it to operate on both standard 120V and 230V branch circuits without needing separate model variants.

How accurate is the onboard metering?

The LCD display provides billing-grade accuracy of plus-or-minus one percent, suitable for cost allocation in multi-tenant colocation environments.

What connectivity options are available for remote monitoring?

The unit includes serial, RJ-45 network, and USB ports for integration with network monitoring platforms, in addition to its local LCD readout.

Does this PDU support remote outlet switching?

No. It is a metered input PDU that reports load accurately but does not provide remote outlet-level switching. For that capability, consider Eaton's managed PDU line.

Can the meter be serviced without taking down connected equipment?

Yes, the hot-swap meter module can be replaced or serviced without powering down the rack, which supports high-availability data center environments.

What certifications does the EMI103-10 carry?

It is listed to UL ITE 60950-1 and carries FCC and CE certifications, supporting deployment in North American and international commercial installations.

What warranty is included with this PDU?

Eaton provides a 3-year limited warranty. Contact Creation Networks for complete terms and installation support.

Is the EMI103-10 suitable for a colocation cabinet with mixed-voltage tenants?

Yes, its dual-voltage input and billing-grade metering make it a strong fit for colocation cabinets serving tenants on different regional voltage standards.
