Eaton PDUNVR30HVLX – 5.5kW Per-Outlet Metered PDU

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUNVR30HVLX is a 0U vertical per-outlet metered PDU designed for data center and colocation cabinet racks that need outlet-level power monitoring rather than a single input-level reading. Its individual outlet current metering gives IT and facilities teams the ability to identify exactly which connected device is drawing excess current, making it a strong candidate for any per-outlet metered PDU installation where troubleshooting load imbalance or planning capacity at the device level matters. With a 208/230V input and 24 outlets, it fits server rooms and network closets running mixed IT and AV equipment on a shared high-voltage circuit.

Product Description

The PDUNVR30HVLX is a single-phase, 0U vertical PDU that mounts along the rear rail of a rack and draws input power through a 208/230V NEMA L6-30P plug on a 10-foot cord. It delivers up to 5.5kW across 20 C13 and 4 C19 outlets, and unlike a standard metered PDU that reports only total input current, this model reports current draw at each individual outlet through its LX platform interface. That distinction makes it a genuine outlet-level power monitoring PDU rather than a simple metered unit, and it is a meaningful upgrade for integrators who need to track power consumption of specific servers, switches, or AV processing devices without adding a separate power meter to each circuit. This individual outlet current metering PDU integration is useful in colocation cabinet environments where tenants are billed by measured usage, and in server rooms or network closets where facilities staff need to isolate a single overloaded outlet during a fault investigation rather than tripping the entire circuit. The unit's 0U vertical form factor runs the height of a standard rack along the rear rail, preserving all horizontal rack space for equipment, while its two-load-bank outlet layout supports balanced distribution across connected devices. Because monitoring happens at the outlet rather than only at the input, this PDU also supports more granular capacity planning as racks are populated over time, letting teams add equipment with confidence about actual remaining headroom on the circuit.

Key Features

• Individual Outlet Current Metering — Reports current draw at each outlet, not just at the input, for precise load tracking per connected device.
• 24-Outlet Layout — 20 C13 and 4 C19 receptacles support common server, switch, and AV power cords.
• 208/230V High-Voltage Input — NEMA L6-30P plug and 24A rating support denser rack loads than 120V circuits.
• 0U Vertical Mounting — Rear-rail installation preserves all horizontal rack units for equipment.
• LX Platform Interface — Provides the monitoring backbone for outlet-level current reporting.
• Usage-Based Capacity Planning — Outlet-level data helps facilities teams plan additional equipment deployments with confidence.
• Commercial-Grade Certifications — UL 60950-1, CSA, NOM, and FCC Part 15 Class A support use in regulated commercial and government facilities.

Typical Applications

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

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "per-outlet metering" mean on this PDU?

It means the PDU reports current draw at each individual outlet rather than only a single reading for the entire unit, letting you see exactly how much power a specific connected device is using.

Does this PDU require a special input circuit?

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

How does this differ from the standard PDUMNV metered PDU line?

The PDUMNV series meters total input current only. The PDUNVR series, including this SKU, adds individual outlet current metering so load can be tracked per connected device rather than per circuit.

How is this PDU mounted?

It is a 0U vertical unit that mounts along the rear rail of a standard rack or cabinet, keeping horizontal rack space free for equipment.

Is this suitable for a colocation cabinet with usage-based billing?

Its individual outlet current metering can support usage tracking at the device level, which is useful in colocation cabinet environments; confirm your specific billing and reporting requirements with your facility before final specification.

What is the warranty on this PDU?

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

Can Creation Networks help with integration into an existing monitoring system?

Yes. Our team can help confirm network interface compatibility and outlet configuration before you deploy this PDU as part of a larger AV/IT monitoring installation.
