The Eaton Metered Outlet Rack PDU G4 is engineered for modern data centers, edge deployments, and IT rooms that demand precise energy visibility alongside dependable power distribution. This metered PDU delivers accurate, outlet-level measurements and robust electrical performance, enabling proactive capacity planning, tighter energy management, and safer operation for critical workloads. Its universal input design supports global deployments, while the front-entry cord and compact footprint streamline installation in dense racks. Whether you’re consolidating servers, storage arrays, or network gear, the G4 PDU helps you balance loads, reduce cooling costs, and maintain uptime with clear, actionable energy data. Built to endure the rigors of continuous operation, this PDU combines rugged construction with sophisticated metering capability to support your organization’s reliability and efficiency goals.

• Real-time energy metering and load monitoring: The G4 provides outlet-level measurements of voltage, current, and power, delivering precise visibility into how every device in the rack is consuming electricity. This data anchors capacity planning, informs cooling strategies, and supports chargeback reporting. With detailed, real-time readings, you can identify abnormal load patterns, prevent single-circuit overloads, and optimize IT workloads for better performance and efficiency.
• Global compatibility with universal input (200-415 V): Designed for multi-region data centers, the G4 accommodates diverse electrical systems without requiring multiple SKUs. This flexibility simplifies procurement, speeds deployment across campuses or co-located facilities, and reduces logistical complexity when equipment moves or expands. Universal input ensures consistent operation regardless of regional mains differences, aiding IT teams in maintaining uptime and energy management across sites.
• High-density power distribution with 42 outlets (24 C13 + 18 C39): The PDU offers ample outlets to support mixed IT loads in dense racks. The arrangement of 24 C13 receptacles and 18 C39 receptacles enables efficient cabling and current sharing across devices, reducing clutter and improving airflow. This layout helps standardize spare parts and cables, lowers the risk of miswired connections, and simplifies future reconfigurations as workloads evolve.
• Front-entry cord and compact footprint for easy installation: The front-entry power cord design minimizes rear cabling, while the footprint is optimized for tight rack spaces. This configuration reduces installation time, improves cable management, and enhances airflow within the cabinet. The combination of a 0U footprint and front-facing connection points makes it easier to deploy, maintain, and re-task equipment in busy data centers, labs, and edge environments.
• Durable construction and reliable performance: Built for continuous operation in demanding IT environments, the G4 PDU features rugged materials and dependable electrical performance. Its metered design provides consistent monitoring capabilities, helping facilities teams maintain uptime and meet energy-management objectives. The PDU integrates smoothly with Eaton’s broader ecosystem of power management products and DCIM tools, delivering cohesive protection, visibility, and control across racks and rooms.

How to install Eaton Metered Outlet Rack PDU G4

• Prepare and plan: Verify that your rack space supports a 0U footprint and that the incoming mains supply falls within the 200-415 V range. Ensure the rack is structurally capable of supporting the PDU’s weight and that there is adequate ventilation around the cabinet.
• Mount the PDU: Install the PDU into the rack rails according to your cabinet’s 19-inch standard. Use the included mounting hardware and tighten securely to prevent movement during operation. Confirm alignment so the front-entry cord reaches the power source without strain on cables.
• Connect input power: Route the front-entry power cord to the appropriate mains distribution or power distribution unit in your facility. Ensure that the connection matches local electrical codes and voltage requirements, and that circuit protection devices are sized for the PDU’s current rating.
• Organize loads and outlets: Plug IT devices into the 24 C13 outlets and 18 C39 outlets in an orderly pattern that promotes proper airflow and avoids overloading any single receptacle group. Keep cabling tidy with ties or routing channels to maintain accessibility for maintenance and future reconfigurations.
• Configure metering and test: If the PDU offers configuration options, set up metering thresholds, alerts, and any software integrations you use for DCIM or energy monitoring. Power on devices and verify that outlet readings appear in the PDU interface or connected software. Confirm that all devices operate normally and that energy measurements reflect live usage during a controlled load test.
• Document and maintain: Record outlet assignments, regional voltage settings, and any monitoring configurations for future audits and capacity planning. Schedule regular reviews of energy data to identify trends, peak loads, and opportunities for efficiency improvements.
