This 18-outlet, 16.2 kilowatt PDU is built to support high-density racks and mission-critical workloads, providing real-time insight into voltage, current, and per-outlet load. Its advanced monitoring capabilities reduce risk, optimize energy use, and help you prevent outages before they disrupt operations. With a rugged, rack-ready form factor, LX interface, and Gigabit network connectivity, this PDU is the backbone you need for efficient, reliable data center power management.

Whether you’re deploying a new rack farm or upgrading an existing environment, this monitored PDU gives you the tools to manage power intelligently. The combination of a 208V three-phase supply, IEC 309 60A blue input, and an LCD display makes it equally suitable for enterprise deployments and edge computing catches where space is at a premium. The per-outlet monitoring is a game changer for capacity planning; you can map power usage to individual devices, balance loads across phases, and maintain headroom for growth without guesswork. In a world where uptime and energy efficiency are tightly linked to operational success, this PDU stands out as a scalable, future-proof solution.

• Per-outlet monitoring with real-time visibility. This monitored PDU tracks voltage and load for every outlet, delivering precise data to your DCIM system while also presenting status on the built-in LCD. With 12 IEC C19 outlets and six IEC C13 outlets, you gain outlet-level control that is essential for high-density server and storage deployments. The granular insight enables proactive capacity planning, improved load balancing across three phases, and rapid identification of overloaded outlets before they become a problem.
• High-power, three-phase distribution for dense environments. Capable of handling up to 16.2 kW at 208V and across three phases, the PDU is ideal for data centers, HPC clusters, and demanding compute closets. The 60A blue IEC 309 input provides a robust mains connection, designed to support continuous operation under heavy workloads. Its 0U form factor maximizes rack density while still delivering full outlet access and monitoring. A long 1.8 m cord adds flexible positioning within the rack or across adjacent power rails.
• LX Interface and Gigabit networking for scalable management. The LX remote-management interface, paired with a Gigabit Ethernet port, gives you fast, reliable access to real-time metrics and historical trends. This enables smooth integration with DCIM platforms, SNMP-based monitoring, and centralized alerting. You can configure thresholds, receive alerts on over- or under-voltage conditions, and export outlet-level data for reporting and capacity planning. The combination of local LCD readouts and remote monitoring ensures you never lose sight of power health, even in distributed environments.
• Rugged, rack-ready design built for 0U deployment. The PDU is engineered for 0U installation in standard racks, delivering maximum density without compromising performance. The enclosure is designed to withstand the rigors of data-center operation, while the LCD provides at-a-glance visibility of voltage, current, and outlet status. A 1.8 m power cord offers flexible placement, and the blue IEC 309 input supports secure, high-current mains connections. This PDU also meets compliance expectations for government procurement (TAA-compliant), ensuring broad compatibility with enterprise and public-sector deployments.
• Plug-and-monitor convenience with future-proof capabilities. This PDU ships ready for immediate deployment with straightforward power and network connections. After powering up, you can name each outlet, set threshold-based alerts, and begin collecting outlet-level data for analytics and reporting. The per-outlet approach makes it easier to identify inefficiencies, optimize cooling strategies, and drive down total cost of ownership through smarter energy management.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 16.2kW 208V 3PH Monitored Per-Outlet PDU

• Plan placement and rack integration. Identify a suitable 0U mounting location in a compatible rack and verify there is clearance for the 1.8 m cord and outlet access. Ensure the rack has adequate cooling and near-term power distribution needs to maximize the benefit of outlet-level monitoring.
• Mount the PDU in the rack. Secure the PDU using the appropriate mounting hardware for your rack system. Confirm the unit sits firmly and that the outlets remain accessible for connected devices without obstruction.
• Connect the power input. Route the IEC 309 60A blue input plug to a suitable mains power source or power distribution unit. Ensure the supply can deliver the full 60A and that all safety codes are observed during connection.
• Connect devices and label outlets. Attach servers, storage, and networking gear to the 18 outlets (12 C19, 6 C13). Label each outlet to reflect its connected device for straightforward identification in monitoring dashboards and audits.
• Configure network monitoring. Connect the PDU’s Gigabit Ethernet port to your network and configure the LX interface IP address, login credentials, and access permissions. Set alert thresholds for voltage, current, and outlet load to align with your data-center power policies.
• Calibrate and verify. Power on and verify LCD readings for each outlet. Confirm remote monitoring is reporting correctly to your DCIM/NMS, and test alerting by simulating overload or voltage deviations within safe limits.
• Integrate with DCIM and reporting tools. If you use DCIM or a corresponding monitoring platform, import outlet-level data, set up dashboards, and establish routine reporting for capacity planning and energy analytics.
• Document and maintain. Record outlet mappings, device names, thresholds, and maintenance windows. Regularly review monitoring data to identify trends, aging devices, or planned workloads that could affect power utilization and cooling.
