Eaton EVMA2130A – 3-Phase Managed 0U Rack PDU, 24 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton EVMA2130A is a 3-phase managed rack PDU built for data centers and server rooms that need outlet-level power monitoring and remote control. This managed rack PDU provides granular visibility into power draw across 24 outlets, making it a strong fit for colocation cabinets, enterprise server racks, and mission-critical IT infrastructure. Facilities and IT managers use this PDU to track load in real time, reduce the risk of circuit overloads, and support remote power cycling without a technician on site.

Product Description

The EVMA2130A mounts in a 0U vertical form factor along the rear rails of a server rack, keeping horizontal rack unit space free for servers, switches, and patch panels. The unit accepts 120V/230V 3-phase input through a NEMA L21-30P plug and delivers output through 24 total outlets, split between 12 IEC 60320 C13 and 12 IEC 60320 C39 combo receptacles, supporting a mix of server power supplies and higher-draw network equipment on a single unit. Rated at 24A input and 8.6kW capacity, this PDU suits mid-density rack deployments where a single 3-phase circuit needs to be split cleanly across multiple devices.

Built-in outlet-level metering, monitoring, and remote switching let administrators identify which connected device is drawing power, cycle individual outlets remotely, and generate real-time reports, trend charts, dashboards, and severity-prioritized alerts. Network connectivity is provided via an embedded hot-swappable Gigabit Network Module (GNM) over RJ-45, and the unit can be paired with optional environmental sensors for temperature and humidity monitoring at the rack level. Multiple EVMA2130A units can be cascaded, with up to 40 units sharing a single management view while each retains its own IP address — a useful feature for larger deployments managed from a central NOC. The 10 ft. power cord provides flexibility for various rack and whip configurations in the server room or data center.

Key Features

• 3-Phase Input, 24A — Distributes 120V/230V 3-phase power across a balanced load for mixed-equipment racks.
• Outlet-Level Monitoring — Tracks per-outlet current, voltage, and power draw for accurate capacity planning.
• Remote Outlet Switching — Cycles individual outlets remotely to reboot hung equipment without a site visit.
• 0U Vertical Mounting — Installs along the rear rack rails, preserving horizontal U space for equipment.
• Hot-Swappable Network Module — Provides Gigabit RJ-45 connectivity that can be replaced without powering down the PDU.
• Mixed C13/C39 Outlets — Combines 12 C13 and 12 C39 combo receptacles for both standard and high-draw devices.
• Cascade Capability — Links up to 40 units under one management interface while retaining individual IP addressing.

Typical Applications

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the EVMA2130A fit standard 19-inch racks?

Yes. Its 0U vertical form factor mounts along the rear rails of standard racks and does not consume horizontal U space needed for servers or switches.

Can multiple EVMA2130A units be managed together?

Yes. Up to 40 units can be cascaded into a single management view while each unit retains its own IP address, which simplifies monitoring across large deployments from a central NOC.

What kind of equipment can this PDU power?

Its 12 C13 and 12 C39 combo outlets support a mix of standard servers and higher-draw network or storage equipment on the same unit.

Does this PDU require network access to operate?

Basic power distribution does not require network access, but the embedded Gigabit Network Module (GNM) over RJ-45 is used for remote monitoring, outlet switching, and alerting.

Can environmental sensors be added?

Yes. The EVMA2130A supports optional temperature and humidity sensors for additional rack-level monitoring beyond electrical load.

What is the warranty on the Eaton EVMA2130A?

Eaton backs this unit with its standard manufacturer warranty; contact Creation Networks for the current term and any extended coverage options.
