Eaton 0U 24A L5-30P Input 10ft Cord Managed Rack Power Distribution Unit

Overview

The Eaton EMA108-10 is a managed rack power distribution unit designed to deliver reliable and high-density power to data centers, enterprise server rooms, and network closets. It provides up to 2.88 kilowatts of power from a single-phase 120 volt, 24 amp circuit, supporting a full rack of servers, storage devices, or network switches without risking circuit overload. Its 0U vertical form factor mounts on the side or rear of a standard rack, preserving all rack units for equipment installation.

Equipped with twenty-four 5-20R outlets distributed along its length, the unit allows flexible power connections at any rack height. The included 10-foot cord with a locking L5-30P plug ensures secure and extended reach to distant power receptacles. Real-time monitoring is available through a built-in LCD pixel display, while remote management capabilities enable control and scheduling from offsite locations.
