Eaton PDU3MV6L2120 – 5.7kW 3-Phase Metered PDU, 0U

Product Overview

The Eaton PDU3MV6L2120 is a 5.7kW 3-phase local metered PDU delivering 208/120V power across 36 C13, 6 C19, and 6 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets, built into a 0U vertical, TAA-compliant chassis with an L21-20P input and a 6 ft. cord. It is designed for rack-mount, multi-outlet power distribution in data center and server room environments that need three-phase input with real-time local load metering. Three built-in digital meters give facilities managers phase-by-phase visibility into current draw, an important capability for balancing loads across three-phase rack circuits.

Product Description

Three-phase rack PDUs require careful load balancing across phases to avoid overloading any single leg, and the PDU3MV6L2120 supports this with real-time local reporting of current levels in amps via a set of three built-in digital meters, one per phase. This visual monitoring capability helps technicians preserve proper load balance and prevent circuit overloads as additional equipment is added to the rack over time. The PDU delivers 208/120V power distribution across a large outlet count of 36 C13, 6 C19, and 6 NEMA 5-15/20R receptacles, giving integrators the flexibility to power a wide mix of rack-mount servers, networking equipment, and standard NEMA-plug devices from a single vertical 0U unit. Reliable rackmount multi-outlet power distribution is delivered from any protected UPS, generator, or mains input power source through the L21-20P input plug and 6 ft. (1.83 m) cord. The rugged all-metal housing and included mounting accessories support secure rackmount installation in a standard 19-inch rack, and TAA compliance makes this PDU eligible for GSA Schedule and other federal procurement contracts. The combination of three-phase input, high outlet density, and local phase metering makes the PDU3MV6L2120 well suited for data center racks and server rooms that need to distribute power across a large number of devices while keeping each phase properly balanced.

Key Features
