Eaton EMIT01-10 – 120V Metered Rack PDU 1U

Product Overview

The Eaton EMIT01-10 metered rack PDU is built for integrators and IT managers who need accurate input current visibility on a 120V single-phase circuit without the cost of per-outlet switching. As a 1U metered input PDU, it installs in a standard 19-inch rack in a network closet or server room and gives facilities staff a local display for real-time load monitoring during rack PDU installation. It is a straightforward choice for commercial AV and IT racks where circuit-level metering is required but individual outlet control is not.

Product Description

The EMIT01-10 is a 1U, 120V, 16A metered input rack PDU with twelve 5-20R output receptacles, designed for straightforward integration into existing 19-inch rack elevations. Because it reports aggregate input current rather than per-outlet data, it suits environments where a single point of load visibility is sufficient — small server rooms, network closets, and edge IT cabinets supporting AV and networking gear. The unit includes a local digital display so technicians can read load levels directly at the rack during commissioning or routine maintenance, which simplifies metered PDU installation in facilities without centralized power monitoring software. Its compact 1U profile preserves rack space for switches, servers, and AV control equipment, an important consideration in space-constrained network closet deployments. The straight-blade 5-20P input plug and 12 x 5-20R outlet configuration align with standard 120V commercial electrical infrastructure, so no specialty receptacles are required at the source. For commercial AV and IT integrators standardizing on a single PDU platform, the EMIT01-10 pairs with higher-amperage EMIT and EMIU models to cover mixed-voltage racks across a facility. It carries a 3-year limited warranty and UL listing, both relevant considerations for procurement and government space specifications.

Key Features

• Local Digital Display — An integrated meter shows real-time input current draw directly at the rack, letting technicians verify load without a laptop or software connection.
• 1U Space-Saving Form Factor — The low-profile 1U chassis preserves valuable rack units for servers, switches, and AV equipment in space-constrained network closets.
• Twelve 5-20R Outlets — Twelve NEMA 5-20R receptacles provide ample connection points for servers, switches, and peripheral IT equipment on a single PDU.
• 120V Single-Phase Input — Standard 120V single-phase input via a 5-20P plug allows the unit to connect to common commercial branch circuits without specialty wiring.
• UL Listed Construction — UL listing confirms the unit has been independently tested to recognized safety standards, supporting compliance requirements in commercial and government deployments.
• 3-Year Limited Warranty — Eaton backs the EMIT01-10 with a 3-year limited warranty, reducing long-term ownership risk for procurement and facilities teams.

Typical Applications

• Server room
• Network closet
• Commercial meeting space

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the EMIT01-10 compatible with standard 19-inch server racks?

Yes. The EMIT01-10 is a 1U horizontal rack PDU designed to mount in any standard 19-inch rack or cabinet using the included mounting brackets.

Does this PDU support per-outlet power control or switching?

No. The EMIT01-10 is a metered input PDU — it reports total input current draw but does not provide per-outlet metering, switching, or remote outlet control.

What input circuit does the EMIT01-10 require?

It requires a dedicated 120V single-phase circuit terminated with a NEMA 5-20P plug, rated at 16A.

Can this PDU integrate with existing AV or IT power monitoring systems?

The unit provides local metering via its built-in display. It does not include network connectivity for integration with centralized monitoring platforms; for networked monitoring, consider Eaton's higher-tier EMIT or EMIU series.

How many devices can be connected to the EMIT01-10?

The unit provides 12 NEMA 5-20R outlets, supporting up to 12 individually connected devices, subject to the 16A/1.92kW total input rating.

What warranty does Eaton provide on this rack PDU?

Eaton provides a 3-year limited warranty on the EMIT01-10. Contact Eaton or Creation Networks for full warranty terms and support options.

Is professional installation required?

Installation typically requires only rack-mounting the unit and connecting it to a properly rated branch circuit; a licensed electrician should verify the circuit before commissioning in commercial or data center environments.
