Eaton EMI338-06 – 60-Outlet Metered Rack PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton EMI338-06 metered input rack PDU is designed for high-density data center and colocation cabinet installations that need extensive outlet capacity alongside 3-phase load monitoring. This metered rack PDU combines 48 C13 and 12 C19 outlets in a single 0U vertical unit, making it well suited for rack PDU installation in cabinets mixing servers with higher-draw equipment such as blade chassis or storage arrays. Facilities managers and integrators use this class of 3-phase PDU for server room power distribution where amperage visibility and electrical compliance are required.

Product Description

The Eaton EMI338-06 is a 3-phase, 0U vertical metered input rack PDU rated for 200-240V at 48A, delivering up to 17.3 kW through a combined total of 60 outlets: 48 IEC C13 and 12 IEC C19 receptacles. The mixed outlet configuration accommodates both standard servers and network switches on C13 cords alongside higher-current equipment such as blade servers, storage enclosures, and some UPS units that terminate on C19. Input connects through an IEC 60309 460P9 plug, and a digital display on the PDU faceplate provides local readout of voltage and current for verifying load balance during rack PDU installation. The 0U vertical mounting profile runs the length of the rack frame, keeping all 60 outlets available without consuming horizontal rack unit space, which is a priority in dense colocation cabinet and data center deployments. An Ethernet monitoring interface allows remote polling of power data, supporting centralized oversight across multiple racks in a server room or colocation facility. Because the EMI338-06 provides more outlets and a mixed C13/C19 configuration than a standard metered PDU, it is commonly specified for cabinets consolidating multiple device types onto a single 3-phase circuit, reducing the need for secondary power strips.

Key Features

• 60 Total Outlets — 48 C13 and 12 C19 receptacles support mixed equipment loads on a single PDU, reducing the need for supplemental power strips.
• Digital Local Metering — A built-in display shows input voltage and current at the rack for quick verification during commissioning.
• 3-Phase 17.3 kW Capacity — Power is distributed across three phases, supporting higher aggregate loads than single-phase PDUs of similar size.
• 0U Vertical Mounting — The PDU mounts along the rack frame without occupying rack unit space needed for servers and switches.
• Ethernet Monitoring Interface — Remote access to load data supports centralized monitoring across a data center or colocation environment.
• IEC 60309 460P9 Input — A widely available industrial-grade input plug simplifies electrical planning and whip sourcing.
• UL Listed Construction — Third-party safety certification supports use in commercial and government facility deployments.

Typical Applications

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What equipment can connect to the EMI338-06's outlets?

The 48 C13 outlets support standard servers, switches, and network appliances with C14 power cords, while the 12 C19 outlets accommodate higher-draw equipment such as blade chassis and some storage arrays with C20 cords.

What electrical circuit does this PDU require?

It requires a 3-phase, 200-240V, 48A circuit terminated with an IEC 60309 460P9 connector. Confirm this matches your facility's available electrical service before ordering.

How is the EMI338-06 mounted in a rack cabinet?

It mounts vertically in a 0U configuration along the rack frame, keeping all 60 outlets accessible without using horizontal rack unit space.

Can this PDU be monitored remotely?

Yes. An Ethernet interface allows remote polling of input voltage and current, supporting integration into a broader data center or colocation monitoring setup.

Does the EMI338-06 support individual outlet switching?

No. This is a metered input model, providing total load visibility but not per-outlet control. Eaton's switched or managed models are the appropriate choice when outlet-level control is required.

What is the warranty on this Eaton PDU?

Eaton provides a 3-year limited warranty on the EMI338-06. Contact Eaton or Creation Networks for complete warranty terms.

Can Creation Networks help determine if this PDU fits my cabinet's equipment load?

Yes. Creation Networks can help review your equipment list and outlet requirements to confirm the EMI338-06's mixed C13/C19 configuration matches your planned rack PDU installation.
