Eaton EVMAGU23A‑E – Managed Rack PDU 24 Outlets Universal Input

Overview

The Eaton EVMAGU23A‑E is a fully managed rack Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for data center racks, enterprise closets, and colocation environments where detailed control and monitoring of rack power is required. It is deployed by data center infrastructure engineers, power architects, and IT operations teams to distribute AC power to multiple devices while providing remote management, outlet‑level control, and electrical metering — features critical for capacity planning, troubleshooting, and automated power workflows.

This model supports universal input, meaning it can accept a wide range of single‑phase or three‑phase voltages (typically 100–240 V and 173–415 V depending on input cable selection), allowing the same PDU hardware to be used across global deployments with different power feeds. With a power capacity of up to ~23 kW (~23 000 W) when paired with an appropriate input cable, it delivers robust distribution for medium‑to‑high density racks.

The EVMAGU23A‑E provides 24 outlets — 12 IEC C13 and 12 high‑retention IEC C39 combo outlets — enabling flexible connection of C14 and C20 cords for diverse IT equipment while minimizing the number of PDUs required per rack. Closed‑loop metering at each outlet combined with network‑based switching allows remote reboot and power management of individual devices, reducing manual intervention and improving uptime.

Deployment is typically 0U vertical, mounting alongside the rear rack posts to conserve usable U‑space for revenue‑generating equipment. Tool‑less mounting hardware permits front‑ or side‑facing installation depending on rack layout. Integrated Gigabit Ethernet network management supports SNMP, REST API, and DCIM integration for reporting, alerting, and automated actions.

A practical example is centralized control of all IT power feeds in a rack with servers, storage, and networking gear: the PDU can report real‑time current, voltage, and power factor, allow remote outlet‑level reboot of hung devices, and integrate environmental sensors to correlate temperature/humidity with power usage. This model is not suitable where only basic power stripping is required; unmanaged PDUs suffice in low‑complexity spaces without remote control or metering needs.
