Eaton PDUMNH30 – 2.9kW Single-Phase Metered Rack PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUMNH30 is a compact 2U metered rack PDU designed for single-phase 120V server rooms and network closets that need reliable power distribution without the cost of a fully managed unit. This horizontal rack-mount PDU uses an L5-30P input plug and provides 16 output receptacles, making it a practical metered PDU choice for mid-size IT racks. Its LX interface delivers input current and voltage readings so administrators can monitor load and avoid tripped breakers. IT integrators specifying a 120V metered PDU for standard equipment cabinets will find this model easy to install in just 2U of rack space.

Product Description

Unlike 0U vertical PDUs, the PDUMNH30 mounts horizontally and occupies 2U of standard rack space, which suits smaller cabinets or environments where vertical rail space is already committed to cable management or other 0U devices. It accepts a single-phase 120V, 24A feed through an L5-30P plug and distributes power across 16 outlets, giving room for servers, switches, KVM units, and other rack-mounted IT gear. The built-in metering reports real-time input voltage and current draw through the LX interface, giving facilities staff a way to confirm the circuit isn't approaching its 2.9kW capacity before adding more equipment. A 10 ft. input cord is included, giving installers flexibility when the source receptacle isn't directly adjacent to the rack. This PDU is a good fit for network closets, small server rooms, and secondary/backup racks where metered rather than switched or per-outlet managed monitoring is sufficient.
