Eaton PDU3V6L2130 – 8.6kW 3-Phase Basic PDU, 48 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton PDU3V6L2130 is an 8.6kW, 208/120V three-phase basic PDU built as a no-frills power distribution unit for networking, telecom, security, audio/video, and sound reinforcement applications. Sized for small to mid-sized data centers, computer rooms, and network closets, this 70-inch vertical 0U rack PDU offers 48 outlets across three breakered load banks. Its broad mix of C13, C19, and NEMA outlets makes it a versatile three-phase distribution option for racks with varied equipment.

Product Description

The PDU3V6L2130 delivers 8.6kW of three-phase, 208/120V power distribution through 48 total outlets: 36 C13 (208V), six C19 (208V), and six NEMA 5-15/20R (120V), arranged across three breakered load banks for connecting equipment. This mix of outlet types allows a single PDU to power IEC-corded servers and switches on the 208V banks while still supporting 120V NEMA-corded equipment from the same unit, reducing the need for a separate low-voltage PDU in the same rack. A 6-foot cord terminated in an L21-30P input plug connects to the facility's AC power source, a generator, or a protected UPS system to distribute power to connected loads. Housed in a 70-inch 0U rack design, the unit mounts vertically along the rack rail, providing ample spacing between outlets so that connecting equipment with larger power supply bricks or angled plugs remains manageable even in a densely populated rack. As a basic PDU, it does not include metering, switching, or remote monitoring, keeping the design focused on dependable three-phase power distribution for small to mid-sized data centers, computer rooms, and network closets running networking, telecom, security, and AV equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this PDU power both IEC-corded and NEMA-corded equipment at the same time?

Yes. The PDU3V6L2130 combines 36 C13 and 6 C19 outlets at 208V with 6 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets at 120V, so a single rack PDU can serve both IEC and NEMA-corded equipment.

What facility connection does this PDU require?

The unit terminates in an L21-30P plug on a 6 ft. cord, so it needs a matching three-phase L21-30R receptacle or compatible UPS/generator output.

Does this PDU include metering or remote monitoring?

No. This is a basic PDU focused on reliable three-phase power distribution without built-in metering, switching, or network monitoring features.

Is this PDU appropriate for a broadcast studio rack?

Yes. Its versatile mix of 208V and 120V outlets makes it a common choice for AV, sound reinforcement, and broadcast racks in addition to networking and telecom applications.

What warranty applies to this unit?

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