Eaton PDUMH15-6 - 1U Metered Rack PDU 120 V 13 Outlets
Overview
The Eaton PDUMH15-6 is a metered horizontal rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed to deliver and monitor single-phase AC power to multiple rack devices. IT infrastructure engineers, data center technicians, and facilities personnel deploy it where rack-level load visibility is required alongside compact AC distribution × for example in wiring closets, IDF/MDF racks, or small server rooms. Its built-in local current meter provides real-time load feedback to help avoid circuit overloads.
Electrically, the unit accepts a 120 V single-phase feed via an attached NEMA 5-15P input plug on a 6 ft (1.83 m) cord, rated for 15 A with a 12 A continuous capacity (agency de-rated). It distributes power through thirteen NEMA 5-15R outlets × one forward facing and twelve rear × accommodating a mix of servers, switches, and rack peripherals from a single feed.
Physically, PDUMH15-6 occupies 1U of horizontal rack space in a standard 19-inch cabinet and includes mounting flanges for 2-post or 4-post racks, with support for wall-mount or under-counter placements. Its compact depth (~4.5 in / 114 mm) is well suited for constrained rack environments where depth clearance is limited.
Integration is straightforward with UPS, generator, or mains inputs × the PDU's local meter helps teams verify load levels as gear is added or removed without relying on remote monitoring systems. It does not provide networked management or outlet-level switching; for those capabilities, managed PDUs are necessary.
In practical deployment, PDUMH15-6 can serve a rack of edge networking switches and access servers, with the local digital current meter aiding commissioning and load balancing. It is not suitable where remote monitoring, outlet control, or multi-phase distribution is required.
