Eaton PDUMVR30HVNETLX – 0U Vertical Switched PDU, LX

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUMVR30HVNETLX is a 0U vertical switched PDU with an integrated network module, built for data centers, colocation cabinets, and server rooms that need remote outlet control from a rear-mounted unit. Rated for 208/230V, 24A input and 5.5 kW maximum output across 24 outlets, it supports a full rack of servers and network equipment without consuming horizontal rack space. As a switched PDU for server rack power management, its LX platform network interface gives IT staff remote outlet switching and load monitoring from a browser-based interface. Integrators deploying a 0U vertical PDU for network closet or data center racks get locking-style outlet retention and network-based control in a single unit.

Product Description

The PDUMVR30HVNETLX is part of the Eaton Tripp Lite series switched PDU line built on the LX platform interface, which pairs network-based outlet control with straightforward web and command-line management. Input is delivered through a NEMA L6-30P plug rated 208/230V at 24A, feeding 24 total outlets configured as 20 IEC C13 and 4 IEC C19 receptacles for a maximum output of 5.5 kW. This mixed outlet bank supports racks combining standard servers with a smaller number of higher-draw devices such as storage arrays or network switches with C19 power supplies. The 0U vertical form factor runs along the rear rail of the rack, so it does not occupy any of the horizontal rack units needed for compute or network equipment, an important consideration for integrators trying to maximize usable space in a colocation cabinet. Outlet-level switching is managed through the pre-installed LX network card, allowing remote power cycling, scheduled reboots, and load monitoring without a technician physically present at the rack. This is particularly valuable in colocation facilities and multi-tenant data centers where remote hands visits carry additional cost and scheduling delay. The unit's approximately 70-inch mounting length fits full-height 42U-and-larger enclosures, and at just over 10 lb it is lightweight relative to its outlet count. Built to UL 60950-1 and FCC Class A standards, the PDUMVR30HVNETLX is suited to commercial and government facilities with formal compliance requirements. Facilities teams standardizing on the Eaton Tripp Lite LX platform across a data center footprint can deploy this model alongside its lower-voltage counterpart to cover both 208/230V and 120V rack requirements with a consistent management interface.

Frequently Asked Questions

What rack height does the PDUMVR30HVNETLX require?

Its approximately 70-inch mounting length is designed for full-height enclosures (42U and larger). Confirm your cabinet's rear rail clearance before ordering.

What electrical circuit does this PDU need?

A 208/230V, 24A circuit terminating in a NEMA L6-30P receptacle. Have a licensed electrician verify circuit capacity before installation.

How is the LX platform network card managed?

The pre-installed LX network interface provides browser-based access for remote outlet switching, load monitoring, and alerting, and can integrate with existing IT network infrastructure.

Can this PDU be integrated with existing data center monitoring tools?

Its network monitoring capability is designed to work alongside standard DCIM and IT infrastructure monitoring platforms for centralized visibility.

What is the warranty on the PDUMVR30HVNETLX?

Specific warranty terms for this SKU were not published in available manufacturer documentation. Contact Eaton or Creation Networks to confirm coverage before purchase.

How does the PDUMVR30HVNETLX differ from the PDUMVR30NETLX?

The HVNETLX model runs on 208/230V with C13/C19 outlets and 5.5 kW capacity, while the NETLX model runs on 120V with NEMA 5-20R outlets and 2.9 kW capacity. Choose based on your facility's available voltage.

Can Creation Networks help confirm this PDU fits my rack's power requirements?

Yes. Creation Networks can help integrators verify voltage availability, outlet configuration, and rack clearance before finalizing an order.
