Eaton PDUV30-36 – 2.9kW Basic PDU, 12 Outlets

Product Overview

The Eaton PDUV30-36 is a 2.9kW 120V single-phase basic PDU designed to distribute network-grade power to multiple loads in networking, telecom, and AV racks. This 36-inch, 0U rack-mount PDU delivers 12 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets across two breakered load banks, making it a practical choice for data centers, computer rooms, and network closets. Its switchless design and L5-30P input plug make it a straightforward, no-frills power distribution option for high-density equipment racks.

Product Description

Not every rack needs remote monitoring or outlet switching — many installations simply require dependable, code-compliant power distribution to a bank of equipment. The PDUV30-36 basic PDU fills that role with two breakered load banks, each providing six 5-15/20R outlets, for a total of 12 outlets across the unit. A 10-foot cord with a NEMA L5-30P input plug connects the PDU to the facility's AC power source, a generator, or a protected UPS system, distributing power to connected loads throughout the rack. Dual 20A circuit breakers protect connected equipment from dangerous overloads, and the deliberately switchless design helps prevent an accidental shutdown that could otherwise take down an entire rack of production equipment. At 36 inches, the 0U vertical PDU mounts using included toolless mounting buttons or mounting brackets with user-supplied hardware, fitting into EIA-standard 19-inch racks without consuming usable rack unit space. The brackets can also be used to mount the PDU to the underside of a counter with two user-supplied screws, giving installers flexibility beyond standard rack applications. Bolt-down retention brackets keep power cords organized at each outlet, reducing clutter and accidental disconnections in busy server rooms. This basic PDU is a good fit for networking, telecom, security, and audio/video and sound reinforcement applications where dependable, network-grade power distribution matters more than remote management features.
