Eaton PDUMV20HV – 0U Vertical Metered PDU, 38 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUMV20HV is a vertical 0U metered PDU designed to power dense rack enclosures without consuming horizontal rack space. Rated for 20A at 208/230/240V (agency derated to 16A), it distributes power through 32 C13 and 6 C19 outlets — supporting up to 38 directly connected pieces of networking or server equipment. A built-in two-character LED display gives IT managers continuous local current monitoring in one-amp increments, helping prevent overloads in high-density server rooms and network closets. This vertical metered rack PDU is well suited for data centers and colocation facilities that need maximum outlet count with minimal footprint.

Product Description

Built for high-density rack power distribution, the PDUMV20HV mounts vertically in 0U of space, using tooless mounting brackets that fit standard button-mount compatible 2-post and 4-post racks, as well as under-counter or wallmount configurations. Its 63.75 in. vertical chassis carries 32 C13 and 6 C19 outlets arranged in a single unbreakered load bank, giving integrators the outlet density needed to power a full rack of servers, switches, and other IEC-320 equipped equipment from one PDU. A built-in, easy-to-read two-character LED display continuously reports PDU output current in one-amp increments, giving IT managers real-time visibility into load levels to prevent mains, generator, UPS, or PDU overloads and to help maintain proper load balance in complex redundant power applications. The switch-free, unfiltered electrical pass-through design reliably distributes power from a UPS or generator to connected equipment without adding switching latency or points of failure. A 10 ft. detachable line cord with an L6-20P input plug connects the unit to the facility's power source, and plug retention brackets help keep connected equipment securely plugged in and continuously powered even in racks subject to frequent cable movement. Rated for 20A maximum capacity at 208/230/240V (agency derated to 16A), this PDU is a strong fit for data centers, server rooms, and network closets that need to power a large number of devices from a single vertical PDU without sacrificing horizontal rack space.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the PDUMV20HV mount in a rack without using rack units?

It uses a 0U vertical mounting design with tooless brackets that install in button-mount compatible 2-post and 4-post racks, running along the side of the enclosure instead of occupying horizontal U space.

How many devices can this PDU power?

The 32 C13 and 6 C19 outlets support up to 38 directly connected pieces of server or networking equipment.

Does this PDU support remote network monitoring?

This model provides local monitoring via its built-in two-character LED current display; it does not include a network management card for remote SNMP or web access.

What input connection does the PDUMV20HV use?

It uses a 10 ft. detachable line cord terminating in an L6-20P plug, rated for 208/230/240V circuits.

Can this PDU be wall-mounted or installed under a counter instead of in a rack?

Yes. The included mounting brackets support vertical rack installation as well as wallmount and under-counter configurations.

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.

Can Creation Networks help determine if this PDU fits our rack's outlet requirements?

Yes, our team can review your equipment list and rack layout to confirm outlet count and mounting compatibility before you order.
