Eaton PDUMNH20 Monitored Rack PDU 16 A 120 V

Overview :

The Eaton PDUMNH20 is a monitored power distribution unit (PDU) engineered for horizontal 1 U rack installation to distribute AC power to IT equipment with local load monitoring. It is typically deployed by data center electrical teams, network engineers, and systems administrators where aggregate branch‑circuit loading visibility is required without full SNMP/network management. This model does not include per‑outlet control or remote network management; its monitoring capability is local and real‑time.

Electrically, the PDUMNH20 supports single‑phase 120 VAC at up to 16 A continuous (≈1.9 kW) supplied through an input cord and delivered to eight NEMA 5‑15/20R outlets. It incorporates a local digital current meter for amperage read‑out, and a 20 A circuit breaker provides basic overload protection to safeguard the circuit branch.

Mechanically, this PDU is built in a 19″ horizontal 1 U metal chassis designed to mount in standard server and network racks. The unit ships with a 12 ft (3.66 m) flexible power cord terminated in a NEMA L5‑20P (twist‑lock) plug with a compatible NEMA 5‑20P adapter for common 20 A receptacles.

Integration is strictly local: the digital meter provides live load current information to help technicians balance rack loads during deployment and maintenance. There is no built‑in network interface, remote monitoring agent, or outlet‑level reporting on this SKU — monitored data must be observed directly from the front panel.

A typical deployment is in a single rack housing a small set of servers, switches, and firewalls powered off an upstream UPS or mains feed where operators need to confirm that the rack’s current draw remains within the supply design limit. Avoid this unit in scenarios where remote status collection, networked SNMP telemetry, or per‑outlet power control are required; higher‑tier PDUs with SNMP or LX interfaces are more appropriate.
