Eaton EMI104‑10 – 5.76 kW 42‑Outlet Metered Rack PDU

Overview :

The Eaton EMI104‑10 is a 0U vertical metered rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed for high‑density IT rack power distribution with real‑time electrical monitoring. It is deployed by data‑center engineers, facilities power teams, and network technicians to distribute AC power to servers, storage, and networking equipment while providing consumption visibility and load balancing metrics. This model addresses both power delivery and metering requirements in dense rack rows where vertical space and accurate monitoring are priorities.

This PDU supports a single‑phase 200–240 VAC input at 24 A (5.76 kW) via a NEMA L6‑30P plug and delivers power through 42 outlets — 36 × IEC 60320 C13 and 6 × IEC 60320 C19 receptacles — suitable for mixed server, switch, and storage power connections. Integrated local and remote metering provides real‑time current, voltage, and power usage information with billing‑grade accuracy.

The 0U vertical mount attaches to rack posts, preserving usable rack units for equipment and is engineered for full‑height 19″ EIA‑310 racks in data centers, colocation facilities, and enterprise IDFs. Remote monitoring interfaces include Ethernet (RJ‑45) and RS‑232 for integration with network management and DCIM systems.

This unit integrates with structured rack power setups feeding blades, servers, switches, and PDUs further downstream. Its hot‑swappable meter simplifies servicing without interrupting power flow to connected loads, and its network‑accessible monitoring enables centralized energy tracking and capacity planning.

In practical deployments, EMI104‑10 is selected where power metering, load balancing, and outlet density are critical, such as enterprise server cabinets and HPC clusters. It is not intended as a primary service entrance surge protector or for outdoor/industrial environments where hardened PDUs with environmental ratings are required.
