Frequently Asked Questions
What is a metered input rack PDU and why do I need one?
A metered input PDU monitors power consumption at the PDU level, providing real-time visibility into how much power your rack is drawing. This data helps IT teams prevent overloads, identify power-hungry equipment, and optimize energy efficiency—critical for managing costs and reliability in data centers.
How many devices can the Eaton G4 PDU support?
With 42 total outlets (24 IEC C13 and 18 IEC C39), the Eaton G4 metered input PDU can support a diverse mix of servers, switches, and networking equipment. The exact number depends on the power draw of each device, but the 5.8kW capacity and 16A rating provide substantial headroom for high-density racks.
Is the Eaton G4 PDU compatible with my existing data center infrastructure?
Yes. The L21-20 input connector is an industry-standard three-phase connector, and the mixed IEC C13/C39 outlets ensure compatibility with virtually all enterprise servers, PDUs, and networking gear. The 0U vertical mounting design integrates seamlessly into standard 19-inch racks.
What monitoring capabilities does the metered input provide?
The metered input tracks real-time power consumption at the PDU level, allowing you to monitor total rack power draw, identify peak usage patterns, and make informed decisions about load balancing and capacity planning across your data center infrastructure.
