Eaton PDUMNV30HV2LX – 5.5kW Metered PDU, 42 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUMNV30HV2LX is a 0U vertical metered rack PDU built for data center and colocation cabinet deployments that need high outlet density on a single 208/230V circuit. As a metered rack PDU, it gives integrators and facilities managers a digital ammeter readout at the input so load can be verified during commissioning and rebalanced over time, which makes it a practical fit for any rack PDU installation where circuit-level visibility matters. With 42 total receptacles split across two load banks, this unit supports dense server, switch, and AV equipment loads without requiring a second PDU, simplifying data center power distribution unit installation in tight cabinet space.

Product Description

The PDUMNV30HV2LX is a single-phase, 0U (vertical) metered rack PDU designed to mount along the rear rail of a server rack or open-frame cabinet, keeping horizontal rack units free for servers, switches, and AV processing gear. It draws input power through a 208/230V NEMA L6-30P plug on a 10-foot cord and delivers up to 5.5kW of output capacity across 36 C13 and 6 C19 outlets, arranged in two load banks for balanced distribution. A built-in digital ammeter provides real-time current draw at a glance, supporting the kind of high-voltage PDU with C13 C19 outlets that IT and AV integrators specify when a rack needs both high outlet count and basic load visibility rather than full network monitoring. This makes it well suited for network-monitored PDU-adjacent deployments where a technician checks load locally during moves, adds, and changes. The unit is commonly deployed in data centers, colocation cabinets, and server rooms hosting racks of switches, servers, KVM equipment, or AV distribution hardware that draw from a single high-amperage circuit. Its 0U vertical form factor and 70.5-inch height are designed to run the full length of a standard 42U-48U rack without consuming usable rack space. Toolless or bracket mounting options accommodate most rack rail systems used in commercial IT and AV installations. Because the unit is single-input, it is best suited for racks fed by a single utility or UPS circuit rather than dual-corded redundant equipment.

Key Features

• 42-Outlet Density — 36 C13 and 6 C19 receptacles let a single PDU power a fully loaded rack of servers, switches, and AV gear without a second unit.
• Digital Ammeter Metering — A local current display lets technicians verify circuit load during installation and moves, adds, or changes.
• 0U Vertical Form Factor — Mounts along the rear rail of the rack, preserving all horizontal rack units for equipment.
• 208/230V High-Voltage Input — NEMA L6-30P plug and 24A input support higher-density racks than standard 120V circuits.
• Two Load Banks — Outlets are split across separate banks to help balance load and simplify troubleshooting.
• 10-Foot Input Cord — Reaches most overhead or underfloor PDU whip and receptacle placements without an extension.
• Commercial-Grade Certifications — UL 60950-1, CSA, NOM, and FCC Class A listings support use in regulated commercial and government facilities.

Typical Applications

• data center
• colocation cabinet
• server room
• network closet
• government space

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Eaton PDUMNV30HV2LX compatible with 120V equipment?

No. This unit is a 208/230V high-voltage PDU with a NEMA L6-30P input. Equipment with standard 120V power cords will need a step-down source or a 120V-rated PDU instead.

What outlet types does this PDU provide?

It provides 36 IEC C13 and 6 IEC C19 outlets, covering the standard C14 and C20 power cords used on most servers, switches, and rack-mount AV equipment.

How is this PDU mounted in a rack?

It is a 0U vertical unit that mounts along the rear rail of a standard rack or cabinet using included mounting brackets, leaving all horizontal rack units available for equipment.

Does this PDU support remote or network monitoring?

This model provides local digital ammeter metering at the unit. For SNMP or web-based remote monitoring, an integrator should confirm current firmware and network card availability with Eaton or Creation Networks before specifying it for a monitored deployment.

Can this PDU be used in a colocation cabinet with shared infrastructure?

Yes. Its 208/230V input and high outlet count make it a common choice for colocation cabinet and data center deployments where a single high-amperage circuit feeds a densely populated rack.

What is the warranty on this product?

Contact Eaton or Creation Networks directly to confirm current warranty terms for this SKU.

Does Creation Networks provide installation support for this PDU?

Creation Networks can advise on circuit compatibility, outlet count, and rack placement for AV and IT integrators planning a rack PDU installation; contact our team before ordering if you have questions about your specific deployment.
