Eaton PDUMNV30HVLX – 5.5kW Metered PDU with LX Interface

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUMNV30HVLX is a 0U vertical metered rack PDU built around Eaton's LX platform interface, giving data center and colocation cabinet operators both local ammeter readings and network-based remote monitoring from one unit. It is a strong fit for any metered rack PDU installation where an integrator wants SNMP or web-based visibility into circuit load without stepping up to full outlet-level metering. With a 208/230V input, 24 outlets, and a compact 2.19-inch profile, it supports dense server rack integration in server rooms and network closets where rear-rail space is limited.

Product Description

The PDUMNV30HVLX is a single-phase, 0U vertical metered PDU that mounts along the rear rail of a rack and draws power through a 208/230V NEMA L6-30P plug on a 10-foot cord. It delivers up to 5.5kW at 230V (5kW at 208V) across 20 C13 and 4 C19 outlets, split into two load banks for balanced distribution across connected equipment. What distinguishes this SKU from a standard metered unit is its pre-installed LX network interface, which runs the PADM20 management application and supports HTTP, HTTPS, SNMPv1/v2/v3, Telnet, SSH, FTP, DHCP, and NTP, allowing remote polling of load data over the network alongside the onboard digital ammeter. This makes it a practical choice for any deployment that needs a network-monitored PDU for IT rack integration without the cost of individual outlet switching or metering. Typical use cases include server rooms, network closets, and colocation cabinets housing switches, servers, and rack-mount AV distribution equipment on a shared 208/230V circuit. The 0U vertical form factor and roughly 70-inch height allow the unit to run the full length of a standard rack enclosure, and its narrow 2.19-inch width preserves clearance for cable management and airflow at the rear of the cabinet. Facilities and IT teams that already manage other network-attached infrastructure will find the LX interface's standard protocol support straightforward to fold into existing SNMP polling or a network management system.

Key Features

• Pre-Installed LX Network Interface — Built-in WEBCARDLX with PADM20 software enables remote monitoring over HTTP, HTTPS, and SNMP without add-on hardware.
• Digital Ammeter with Remote Polling — Local current display pairs with network access so load can be checked on-site or from a network operations center.
• 24-Outlet Layout — 20 C13 and 4 C19 receptacles cover common server, switch, and AV power cord types in one rack PDU.
• 208/230V High-Voltage Input — NEMA L6-30P plug and up to 24A continuous rating suit higher-density rack loads than 120V circuits.
• 0U Vertical Mounting — Mounts along the rear rail, keeping horizontal rack space free for equipment.
• Standard Network Protocols — SNMPv1/v2/v3, Telnet, SSH, and FTP support integration with existing IT monitoring stacks.
• Commercial-Grade Certifications — UL 60950-1, NOM, RoHS, and FCC Part 15 Class A support use in regulated commercial and government environments.

Typical Applications

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the PDUMNV30HVLX support remote network monitoring?

Yes. It ships with a pre-installed LX network interface running PADM20, supporting SNMPv1/v2/v3, HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, SSH, and FTP for remote load monitoring.

What is the difference between this SKU and the PDUMNV30HV2LX?

Both are 5.5kW, 208/230V metered PDUs with the LX interface. The PDUMNV30HVLX provides 24 outlets (20 C13, 4 C19), while the PDUMNV30HV2LX provides a higher-density 42-outlet configuration (36 C13, 6 C19) for larger racks.

What input circuit does this PDU require?

It requires a 208/230V, single-phase circuit terminated with a NEMA L6-30 receptacle, rated for its 24A input plug.

Can this PDU be integrated with an existing SNMP network management system?

Yes. The LX interface supports standard SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3, allowing it to be added to most existing IT or AV network monitoring platforms.

How is the unit mounted in a rack?

It is a 0U vertical PDU that mounts along the rear rail of the rack or cabinet, leaving all standard rack units free for equipment.

What warranty does Eaton provide on this PDU?

Eaton documentation for this product line lists a 2-year limited warranty; confirm current terms with Eaton or Creation Networks before purchase for your specific use case.

Does Creation Networks offer support for AV/IT integrators specifying this PDU?

Yes. Creation Networks can help confirm circuit voltage, outlet count, and network monitoring requirements before you order for a data center or server room deployment.
