Eaton PDUMNV20LX – 0U Vertical Monitored PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUMNV20LX is a 0U vertical, single-phase monitored rack PDU built for server racks and network cabinets that need a high outlet count without consuming horizontal rack unit space. It uses the LX platform interface for local monitoring of load and voltage. Integrators researching a 0U vertical PDU or 24-outlet monitored rack PDU for a data center or server room rack will find this model well suited to compact and mid-size racks. It is commonly deployed in server rooms, network closets, and AV equipment racks.

Product Description

The PDUMNV20LX mounts vertically along the rear rail of a standard rack in a 0U profile that measures 70 inches tall, delivering 1.9kW of capacity across 24 NEMA 5-20R outlets from a single 120V, 16A circuit. Input is via a NEMA L5-20P locking plug on a 10 ft. cord, giving installers flexible reach to nearby power sources. As a monitored PDU, it reports load data through the LX interface, letting rack occupants track current draw without needing a separate power monitoring appliance. The tall, narrow 0U vertical design keeps all 24 outlets accessible along the height of the rack while leaving every rack unit free for servers, switches, and other active equipment. This makes the PDUMNV20LX a good fit for racks that need many individual outlets — such as racks with numerous small network appliances, PoE injectors, or single-corded devices — rather than a smaller number of high-draw devices. It suits server rooms, IT closets, and commercial AV racks running on standard 120V circuits.
