Eaton EMA108‑10 – Managed Rack Power Distribution Unit
Overview
The Eaton EMA108‑10 is a managed rack power distribution unit (ePDU) engineered to deliver controlled AC distribution for IT equipment in single‑phase 120 V rack environments. It is deployed by network architects, data center operations, and systems engineers who require outlet‑level metering and switching control for detailed power visibility and remote operations. This PDU is not a UPS; it distributes conditioned utility power while enabling management and control of connected loads.
This managed PDU supports a 24 A, 120 V single‑phase input rated at 2.88 kW maximum and distributes that power across (24) NEMA 5‑20R outlets. It uses a NEMA L5‑30P input plug with a 10 ft power cord and includes network interfaces for remote monitoring and outlet control.
The vertical 0U form factor installs along the side or rear of a standard 19‑inch equipment rack without occupying rack units, preserving usable space for servers, switches, storage, and other IT devices. Its height aligns with typical full‑height racks (~38 U) to maximize outlet density.
The unit integrates Ethernet and serial communications for remote monitoring, metering (voltage, current, power), and outlet switching (on/off/reboot) — enabling capacity planning and automated responses to load conditions. It also supports daisy‑chaining of network connections for simplified management across multiple units.
A practical deployment is in medium to high‑density rack cabinets where IT teams need remote control over individual branch circuits for workload sequencing, energy monitoring, and automated reboot operations. This model should not be used where basic, unmanaged PDUs suffice or where environments require different voltage or receptacle configurations.
