Eaton PDUMH20HV – Metered Rack PDU 10‑Outlet 208/230 V

Overview

The Eaton PDUMH20HV is a metered rack power distribution unit (PDU) engineered for structured rack power delivery where local load monitoring is required. It is deployed by data center engineers, network infrastructure teams, and facilities engineers in IDF/MDF closets or core racks to provide high‑density AC distribution with total current measurement. The metered function solves the need to verify aggregated load draw and helps prevent circuit overloads during maintenance or capacity planning.

This unit supports single‑phase 208/230 V AC in a 1U horizontal rack form factor and is rated for a 16 A continuous load (≈3.7 kW) from an IEC‑320 C20 inlet with an included L6‑20P adapter and 12 ft (3.66 m) cord. It supplies 10 total outlets — eight IEC‑320 C13 and two IEC‑320 C19 — suitable for rack servers, switches, and network appliances in a high‑voltage ecosystem.

Mechanically, the PDUMH20HV occupies 1U of vertical space in 19‑inch EIA‑standard racks and includes rack‑mounting brackets for horizontal installation. Its compact design and 6.5‑inch depth enable deployment in shallow or deep cabinet environments, fitting alongside UPS units, network gear, and other rack infrastructure.

Integration into structured rack environments is straightforward; the front digital LCD display reports total AC output current in real‑time, aiding field technicians in load balancing without remote management systems. Rear grounding lug provisions and standard IEC outlet spacing comply with common rack best practices.

A practical deployment example includes connecting a utility or UPS feed to the PDUMH20HV in a branch office or core rack, then attaching rack switches, routers, and edge servers to the PDU outlets for consolidated AC monitoring. This unit is not suitable where individual outlet control or remote network management is required — those scenarios call for switched or managed PDUs with network interfaces.
