Eaton PDUMH15‑6 – 1U Metered Rack PDU 120 V 13 Outlets

Overview

The Eaton PDUMH15‑6 is a metered horizontal rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed to deliver and monitor single‑phase AC power to multiple rack devices. IT infrastructure engineers, data center technicians, and facilities personnel deploy it where rack‑level load visibility is required alongside compact AC distribution — for example in wiring closets, IDF/MDF racks, or small server rooms. Its built‑in local current meter provides real‑time load feedback to help avoid circuit overloads.

Electrically, the unit accepts a 120 V single‑phase feed via an attached NEMA 5‑15P input plug on a 6 ft (1.83 m) cord, rated for 15 A with a 12 A continuous capacity (agency de‑rated). It distributes power through thirteen NEMA 5‑15R outlets — one forward facing and twelve rear — accommodating a mix of servers, switches, and rack peripherals from a single feed.

Physically, PDUMH15‑6 occupies 1U of horizontal rack space in a standard 19‑inch cabinet and includes mounting flanges for 2‑post or 4‑post racks, with support for wall‑mount or under‑counter placements. Its compact depth (~4.5 in / 114 mm) is well suited for constrained rack environments where depth clearance is limited.

Integration is straightforward with UPS, generator, or mains inputs — the PDU’s local meter helps teams verify load levels as gear is added or removed without relying on remote monitoring systems. It does not provide networked management or outlet‑level switching; for those capabilities, managed PDUs are necessary.

In practical deployment, PDUMH15‑6 can serve a rack of edge networking switches and access servers, with the local digital current meter aiding commissioning and load balancing. It is not suitable where remote monitoring, outlet control, or multi‑phase distribution is required.
