The Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2.4kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU is engineered for reliability, visibility, and flexible deployment in today’s data centers, server rooms, and network closets. This metered power distribution unit delivers up to 20 amps at 120 volts, giving you the capacity to power multiple devices while you monitor energy consumption in real time. Designed with a compact 1U footprint, it fits neatly into dense rack environments, while detachable mounting flanges provide versatile installation options for wall-mount, under-counter, or standard 1U/0U rack mounting. The integrated digital current monitor delivers precise power metrics so you can optimize workloads, reduce energy waste, and plan capacity with confidence. Whether you’re expanding a single rack or coordinating power across a small fleet of devices, this PDU helps you balance performance and efficiency without sacrificing convenience or reliability.

• Flexible mounting options for any space. Detachable mounting flanges can be configured for wallmount, under-counter, or 1U/0U rack installation, enabling clean cabling, simple upgrades, and adaptable deployment in tight enclosures or unconventional spaces. The ability to swap mounting configurations without replacing the entire unit makes this PDU a smart long-term investment for evolving IT environments.
• Compact 1U form factor with robust power delivery. Occupying only a single rack unit, the PDUMH20 delivers 20A at 120V and provides 12 x NEMA 5-15/20R receptacles for broad connectivity. This combination of space efficiency and ample outlets is ideal for dense server deployments, network gear, and storage systems, where every inch of rack space counts.
• Digital current monitor for real-time energy visibility. The built-in metering gives you immediate insight into current draw, voltage, and total power, enabling proactive load balancing and energy management. With accurate, at-a-glance measurements, IT teams can reduce peak loads, forecast capacity, and implement cost-saving strategies without sacrificing performance or uptime.
• Long reach with dependable cord routing. A 15-foot (4.57 m) power cord provides flexibility in configuring power sources far from the rack, reducing strain on power strips and allowing cleaner cable management. This extended cord also helps in rooms where outlets are offset from the equipment rack, improving airflow and organization.
• Rugged design for mission-critical environments. Built to withstand the rigors of data-center floors and IT closets, this PDU combines durable construction with straightforward maintenance. Its sturdy enclosure, simple wiring footprint, and compatibility with standard mounting hardware ensure reliable performance and easy serviceability over time.

How to Install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2.4kW Single-Phase Local Metered PDU

• Plan the installation location. Determine whether the PDU will be rack-mounted, wall-mounted, or installed under a counter. Ensure the surface or rack can bear the weight and that there is adequate clearance for cabling and ventilation.
• Choose the mounting configuration. If mounting in a rack, attach the detachable flanges as needed for 1U/0U rack installation. For wall or under-counter mounting, remove the flanges and mount using appropriate fasteners as dictated by the installation surface.
• Secure the PDU in place. Use the correct screws or hardware to mount the PDU securely, ensuring it is level and stable. Check that cables have a clear path and won’t be pinched when sliding equipment in and out of the rack.
• Connect power and verify input. Plug the 120V input cord into a properly rated power source that matches the PDU’s voltage and current specifications. Confirm all connections are tight and free from damage before energizing the system.
• Populate outlets and monitor. Connect your devices to the 12 NEMA 5-15/20R outlets, organize cables for airflow, and power on the rack. Use the digital current monitor to verify real-time energy usage and ensure loads are balanced to prevent circuit overloads.
