Eaton EVMI8365X – 14.4kW 3-Phase Metered Rack PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton EVMI8365X is a 14.4kW 3-phase metered rack PDU designed for high-density data center racks that need substantial power capacity on a single 208V circuit. This 0U vertical unit uses a CS8365C-style locking input plug and provides 42 outlets, making it a strong fit for enterprise server rooms and colocation cabinets running demanding compute loads. As a metered PDU, it reports input-level current and voltage so IT and facilities teams can track load against the 40A rating. Integrators specifying a high-capacity 3-phase metered rack PDU for dense server racks will find the EVMI8365X sized for larger deployments than typical 20-30A PDUs.

Product Description

Part of Eaton's ePDU G4 metered-input family, the EVMI8365X is built for 3-phase 208V circuits rated at 40A, delivering up to 14,400W of usable capacity. It distributes power across 42 total outlets, giving room for a large number of servers, switches, and storage arrays within a single rack. The unit uses a locking CS8365C-style input receptacle, which is common in data centers running higher-amperage 3-phase circuits and helps prevent accidental disconnection under vibration or cable strain. A roughly 10 ft. input cord is typical for this configuration, giving installers room to reach overhead or side-wall power drops. As a metered (not managed or switched) unit, it is intended for racks where load visibility is the priority rather than remote per-outlet control. This PDU is well suited to high-density colocation cabinets, enterprise data centers, and server rooms consolidating heavy compute loads onto a single 3-phase feed.

Frequently Asked Questions

What circuit does the EVMI8365X require?

A 3-phase 208V circuit rated for 40A input, terminated with a CS8365C-style locking plug.

Does this PDU support per-outlet control?

No. It is a metered input model reporting current and voltage at the PDU input; individual outlet switching is not included.

Why does this PDU use a locking input plug?

The CS8365C-style locking connector reduces the risk of accidental disconnection from vibration or cable strain, which matters in dense data center racks.

How is the EVMI8365X mounted?

It mounts in a 0U vertical configuration along the rear rail of the rack, preserving horizontal rack unit space for equipment.

Is this PDU appropriate for high-density compute racks?

Yes. With 42 outlets and a 14.4kW rating on a 40A circuit, it is sized for larger deployments than typical 20-30A rack PDUs.

What warranty does Eaton provide on this PDU?

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