Eaton 1.9kW Single-Phase Switched PDU - LX Interface, 120V Outlets (16 5-15/20R), L5-20P/5-20P Input, 12 ft. (3.66 m) Cord, 1U Rack-Mount, TAA

The Eaton 1.9kW Single-Phase Switched Power Distribution Unit (PDU) with LX Interface is a purpose-built solution for modern data centers, server rooms, and equipment racks that demand intelligent power control and proactive monitoring. This compact 1U, 16-outlet PDU delivers precise per-outlet control, enabling you to turn on, turn off, recycle, or lock out individual receptacles. It is engineered to simplify remote power management, reduce downtime, and improve energy efficiency across critical IT environments. With a 12-foot cord and a tolerant LX Interface for integrated management, this PDU is designed to scale alongside growing rack densities while maintaining robust, centralized control over power distribution.

• Per-outlet control and automated power sequencing: The Eaton Switched PDU provides remote on/off, recycle, and lock-out capabilities for each receptacle. This level of granular control lets you remotely reboot hung servers, isolate misbehaving equipment, and implement scheduled power cycles to maintain uptime without onsite intervention. The LX Interface integrates seamlessly with your DCIM and network monitoring tools, giving you real-time visibility and control from a centralized console.
• Comprehensive monitoring and energy awareness: Track voltage, current, and power usage at the individual outlet level, plus overall PDU load, to optimize capacity planning and energy efficiency. Set thresholds and notifications to alert your team of anomalies before they impact service levels, and generate usage reports that inform capex and opex decisions.
• Rack-ready design for tight data centers: This PDU is built for 1U rack-mount installations, expanding your cooling and cable management options while keeping access clear to every outlet. With 16 x 5-15/20R 120V receptacles and a 12-foot (3.66 m) cord, it offers flexible placement and ample reach to power dense equipment arrays without clutter.
• LX Interface for flexible management: The LX Interface enables straightforward integration with existing managed infrastructure, including SNMP, web-based dashboards, and compatible DCIM solutions. This empowers operators to automate power-up sequences, correlate electrical conditions with device performance, and maintain high service levels in dynamic environments.
• TA A compliant, reliable deployment: The PDU is designed to meet procurement requirements for public sector and enterprise deployments through TAA compliance, ensuring compatibility with government and contractual procurement processes while delivering dependable performance for critical workloads.

How to install Eaton 1.9kW Switched PDU

• Prepare the rack: Verify there is 1U of available space and confirm rack mounting rails are compatible with your enclosure. Ensure door access and rear clearance meet safety and maintenance requirements.
• Mount the PDU: Secure the PDU firmly in the 1U space using the included mounting hardware or compatible rails. Align outlets for accessible cabling and maintain clear airflow around the unit.
• Connect to power: Route the 12 ft cord to a suitable L5-20P or 5-20P power source per your building electrical specifications. Ensure the circuit can support the total PDU load (up to 1.9 kW) and comply with local electrical codes.
• Connect devices: Plug IT equipment into the 16 x 120V receptacles, organizing cables to minimize strain and improve airflow. Avoid daisy-chaining power situations and maintain balanced distribution across outlets where possible.
• Configure LX Interface: Access the LX management interface through your preferred network path (SNMP or web-based console) to set up per-outlet control, scheduling, alarms, and monitoring. Establish alert thresholds and test a controlled power cycle to verify correct operation.
• Verify operation and document: Power on connected devices, confirm per-outlet status indicators, and validate that monitoring data appears in the management system. Document the installation for future maintenance and audits.
