Eaton EMI323-06 – 38-Outlet Metered Rack PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton EMI323-06 metered input rack PDU is built for data center and colocation cabinet deployments that need reliable 3-phase power distribution with real-time load visibility. As a metered rack PDU, it gives integrators and facilities managers a digital readout of total input current and voltage, supporting proper load balancing during rack PDU installation. With 38 C13 outlets and a 0U vertical form factor, it is a practical choice for high-density server room power distribution where cabinet space is limited. This unit suits any commercial AV/IT deployment where amperage monitoring and 3-phase PDU deployment are required for compliance or capacity planning.

Product Description

The Eaton EMI323-06 is a 3-phase, 0U vertical metered input rack PDU rated for 200-240V input at 48A, delivering up to 17.3 kW of usable power through 38 IEC C13 outlets. It connects via an IEC 60309 460P9 (3P+N+E) input plug and includes a digital display at the PDU faceplate for local monitoring of input voltage and current, so technicians can confirm load conditions during commissioning without a separate meter. This makes it well suited for rack PDU installation in colocation cabinets, network closets, and enterprise server rooms where 3-phase circuits are common and load balancing across phases is a requirement for uptime.

Because it mounts vertically in a 0U configuration, the EMI323-06 runs the full height of a rack enclosure along the side rail, preserving horizontal U space for servers, switches, and other active equipment. This is a common configuration for data center power distribution where rack real estate is at a premium and IT teams want a single PDU to feed an entire cabinet of C13-terminated equipment cords. The unit includes an Ethernet interface alongside its local display, allowing remote polling of load data from a network management workstation, which supports basic environmental and power monitoring practices in commercial data center and colocation environments.

Integrators sourcing an Eaton metered PDU for a new build-out or a cabinet refresh should confirm available input circuit type (3-phase, 200-240V) and outlet count needs before ordering, since the EMI323-06's 38-outlet, C13-only configuration is best matched to racks populated primarily with servers, switches, and low-draw network equipment rather than mixed C13/C19 loads.

Key Features

• Digital Local Metering — An integrated display shows input voltage and current directly at the rack, letting technicians verify load balance during installation without external test equipment.
• 3-Phase 17.3 kW Capacity — The unit distributes up to 17.3 kW across three phases, supporting higher-density cabinets than single-phase alternatives.
• 38 C13 Outlets — A high outlet count accommodates full-cabinet server and switch deployments without daisy-chaining additional power strips.
• 0U Vertical Mounting — The vertical form factor mounts to the rack frame without consuming rack unit space needed for active equipment.
• Ethernet Monitoring Interface — Remote network polling of power data supports centralized monitoring across multiple cabinets in a data center or colocation facility.
• IEC 60309 460P9 Input — A standard industrial-grade 3-phase plug simplifies sourcing of matching whips and receptacles during electrical rough-in.
• UL Listed Construction — Independent safety certification supports compliance requirements common in commercial and government facility deployments.

Typical Applications

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the EMI323-06 compatible with standard C13 server power cords?

Yes. All 38 outlets on the EMI323-06 are IEC C13 receptacles, compatible with the standard C14 power cords included with most servers, switches, and network appliances.

What electrical service does this PDU require?

The EMI323-06 requires a 3-phase, 200-240V, 48A circuit terminated with an IEC 60309 460P9 receptacle. Confirm your facility's electrical infrastructure supports this configuration before ordering.

How is this unit mounted in a rack?

It mounts vertically in a 0U configuration along the side rail of a standard rack enclosure, preserving horizontal rack unit space for servers and network equipment.

Can I monitor this PDU remotely as part of a larger AV/IT monitoring system?

Yes. The unit includes an Ethernet interface for remote polling of voltage and current readings, which can be integrated into broader data center or facility monitoring workflows.

Does this PDU support outlet-level switching or control?

No. The EMI323-06 is a metered input model, meaning it reports total input load but does not provide individual outlet switching. For outlet-level control, an Eaton switched or managed ePDU model is required.

What warranty does Eaton provide on this product?

Eaton backs the EMI323-06 with a 3-year limited warranty. Contact Eaton or Creation Networks for full warranty terms and RMA procedures.

Does Creation Networks provide installation support for this PDU?

Creation Networks' team can advise on rack PDU installation planning, including circuit requirements and outlet allocation, for commercial AV/IT and data center deployments.
