With 24 total NEMA 5-15R outlets split between front and rear, this 1U rack PDU serves networking, telecom, security, and audio\/video applications equally well. Its long 15-foot cord and L5-30P input plug give integrators flexibility when routing power from a distant facility circuit, generator, or protected UPS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRated at 2.9kW on a 120V single-phase circuit, the PDU2430 features 24 total NEMA 5-15R outlets — 12 mounted in front and 12 in the rear — giving rack integrators the flexibility to route power cords from either side depending on cable management preferences. This layout is particularly useful in high-density racks where equipment is installed and serviced from both the front and rear. The NEMA L5-30P input plug is fed by a long 15-foot (4.5 m) cord, long enough to reach a facility's compatible AC power source, backup generator, or protected UPS output without an inline extension. Housed in the same rugged all-metal construction used across Eaton's basic PDU line, the PDU2430 mounts in 1U of rack space in standard 19-inch racks, minimizing the footprint dedicated to power distribution. Because it offers no metering, switching, or network features, it is best suited to installations where cost-effective, reliable power distribution is the priority rather than remote monitoring. Networking, telecom, security, and sound reinforcement racks that need a large outlet count in a small footprint are all good matches for this basic PDU.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/pdu2430.jpg?v=1786673996\" alt=\"Eaton PDU2430 1U horizontal basic rack PDU with 24 outlets\"\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e24 Total Outlets\u003c\/strong\u003e — 12 front-mounted and 12 rear-mounted NEMA 5-15R receptacles support flexible cable routing on both sides of the rack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2.9kW Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e — Single-phase 120V power distribution supports a full rack of networking, telecom, or AV equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e15-Foot Input Cord\u003c\/strong\u003e — The long L5-30P cord reaches distant facility circuits, generators, or UPS outputs without an extension cord.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1U Rack Mount\u003c\/strong\u003e — A compact horizontal form factor conserves rack space for active equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAll-Metal Housing\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rugged construction is built to withstand demanding server room and rack environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eData center\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eServer room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNetwork closet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBroadcast studio\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.9kW\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInput Plug\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eL5-30P, 15 ft.
