Eaton EMI105-06 – 38U Vertical Metered Rack PDU 11.5kW

Product Overview

The Eaton EMI105-06 metered rack PDU is designed for high-density colocation cabinet and data center deployments where a single circuit needs to support a large number of servers, switches, and storage devices. As a high-capacity metered PDU, it delivers 11.5 kW at 48A on a single-phase circuit, making it well suited for rack PDU installation projects consolidating dense equipment loads onto fewer circuits. Integrators specifying this unit typically need a 38U-class vertical PDU for enterprise server room or colocation cabinet builds requiring both high outlet count and local load visibility.

Product Description

The Eaton EMI105-06 is a single-phase, metered input rack PDU rated for 200-240V input at 48A, delivering up to 11.5 kW to connected equipment. It provides 36 total outlets — 30 IEC 60320 C13 and 6 IEC 60320 C19 — making it one of the higher-capacity single-phase metered PDUs in the EMI series, suited to cabinets with a large number of servers and network devices. The unit connects to facility power through an IEC 60309 360P6W (60A pin-and-sleeve) input plug on a 6-foot cord, a connector commonly specified for high-amperage single-phase circuits in data center electrical infrastructure. This higher-current input allows a single PDU to serve a fully populated 38U rack without splitting the load across two lower-capacity units. An onboard LCD display provides local monitoring of load and supports phase and circuit balancing during server provisioning, which is useful during rack PDU installation and ongoing capacity management in colocation cabinet environments. Network connectivity is provided through an RJ-45 Ethernet port alongside a serial interface, allowing integration with facility monitoring tools for remote visibility into power consumption. The 0U vertical mounting profile runs the height of a 38U-class rack enclosure, keeping the full 36-outlet count available without consuming usable rack unit space needed for servers and switches. This makes the EMI105-06 a practical choice for data center operators and integrators consolidating high-density server room power distribution onto a single, high-current metered PDU rather than deploying multiple lower-amperage units per cabinet.

Key Features

• High-Capacity 11.5 kW Rating — A 48A single-phase input supports dense equipment loads on a single circuit rather than splitting across multiple lower-capacity PDUs.
• 36 Total Outlets — 30 C13 and 6 C19 receptacles accommodate a large mix of servers, switches, and higher-draw equipment in one cabinet.
• Onboard LCD Display — Local readouts of load and phase balance support server provisioning and load verification at the rack.
• RJ-45 Ethernet and Serial Connectivity — Remote monitoring capability supports integration with existing data center power monitoring tools.
• IEC 60309 60A Input Connector — A locking, industrial-grade pin-and-sleeve plug improves connection security for high-current circuits.
• 0U Vertical, 38U-Class Mounting — Designed to run the full height of larger rack enclosures without consuming rack unit space.
• 3-Year Limited Warranty — Backed by Eaton's standard rack PDU warranty coverage.

Typical Applications

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What electrical circuit does the EMI105-06 require?

It requires a 200-240V, single-phase circuit rated for 48A, terminated with an IEC 60309 360P6W (60A pin-and-sleeve) receptacle. Confirm your facility's electrical infrastructure supports this before ordering.

Is this PDU compatible with a fully populated 38U server rack?

Yes. With 36 total outlets and a 0U vertical form factor sized for 38U-class enclosures, the EMI105-06 is designed to serve a densely populated rack from a single circuit.

Can this PDU be monitored remotely?

Yes. The EMI105-06 includes an RJ-45 Ethernet interface and a serial port, allowing remote monitoring integration with data center power management tools.

Does this PDU support outlet-level switching?

No. This is a metered input model, reporting total load data but not providing individual outlet control. Eaton's switched or managed ePDU models are available where per-outlet control is required.

What is the warranty on the EMI105-06?

Eaton covers the EMI105-06 with a 3-year limited warranty. Contact Eaton or Creation Networks for complete warranty terms and support options.

How does the LCD display help during installation?

The onboard LCD shows real-time load information, which technicians use to verify balanced provisioning of servers and equipment across the PDU during commissioning.

Can Creation Networks help confirm this PDU matches my facility's electrical service?

Yes. Creation Networks can review your available circuit capacity and connector type to confirm the EMI105-06's 48A, 60A pin-and-sleeve input matches your data center or colocation cabinet infrastructure.
