Eaton PDUNVR30LX – 2.9kW Per-Outlet Metered PDU, 120V

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUNVR30LX is a 0U vertical per-outlet metered PDU built for standard 120V racks that still need outlet-level power visibility, not just a total input reading. It is a practical fit for a 120V outlet-metered PDU installation in a server room, network closet, or government space where equipment runs on conventional 120V circuits but facilities staff want to track power draw per connected device. With 24 locking-style 5-20R outlets and a 30A/120V input, this per-outlet monitoring PDU for network closet and server room deployments supports dense, mixed IT and AV equipment loads on a single circuit.

Product Description

The PDUNVR30LX is a single-phase, 0U vertical PDU that mounts along the rear rail of a rack and draws input power through a 120V NEMA L5-30P plug on a 10-foot cord. It delivers up to 2.9kW across 24 locking 5-20R outlets, and like the rest of the PDUNVR family, it reports current draw at each individual outlet rather than only at the PDU's input. This L5-30P metered rack PDU installation is well suited for facilities that already run standard 120V circuits and want to add outlet-level visibility without rewiring for a 208/230V feed. The locking 5-20R receptacle style helps prevent accidental disconnects in racks that see frequent moves, adds, and changes, which is a common requirement in shared server rooms, network closets, and government or institutional IT spaces where uptime and cable retention both matter. Because this unit meters at the outlet level, facilities and IT teams can isolate which specific server, switch, or AV device is drawing excess current during a troubleshooting event, rather than needing to test each connected device individually. Its 0U vertical form factor runs the height of a standard rack enclosure along the rear rail, keeping all horizontal rack space available for equipment, and its narrow depth helps preserve airflow and cable management clearance at the back of the cabinet.

Key Features

• Individual Outlet Current Metering — Reports current draw per outlet so a specific connected device can be identified during troubleshooting or capacity planning.
• 24 Locking 5-20R Outlets — Locking-style receptacles reduce the risk of accidental cord disconnection in racks with frequent moves, adds, and changes.
• Standard 120V Input — NEMA L5-30P plug fits common 120V commercial circuits without requiring a 208/230V feed.
• 0U Vertical Mounting — Rear-rail installation keeps horizontal rack units free for equipment.
• 10-Foot Input Cord — Reaches typical overhead or underfloor receptacle placements without an extension cord.
• Commercial-Grade Certifications — UL 60950-1, CSA, NOM, and FCC Part 15 Class A support use in regulated commercial and government facilities.

Typical Applications

• server room
• network closet
• government space
• commercial meeting space

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this PDU work with standard 120V equipment?

Yes. It is a 120V unit with locking 5-20R outlets, which are compatible with standard NEMA 5-15P and 5-20P equipment power cords when locked into the receptacle.

What is the benefit of locking outlets in a rack PDU?

Locking 5-20R outlets reduce the risk of a power cord working loose or being accidentally unplugged during routine moves, adds, and changes in a busy rack.

How does per-outlet metering help with troubleshooting?

Because current is reported at each outlet individually, a technician can identify which specific connected device is drawing excess current instead of testing every device on the circuit separately.

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, leaving all horizontal rack space available for equipment.

Is this PDU suitable for a government or institutional facility?

Its UL, CSA, and FCC Class A certifications support use in regulated commercial and government facilities; confirm any additional procurement or TAA requirements with Creation Networks before ordering.

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 verify this PDU fits my rack's power requirements?

Yes. Our team can help confirm your facility's input circuit, outlet count needs, and locking receptacle requirements before you order this PDU for your deployment.
