Eaton EMI318-10

Overview

The Eaton EMI318-10 is a metered input rack power distribution unit designed to deliver reliable three-phase power in a compact 0U vertical enclosure. It supports up to 5.76 kW from a 120/208 volt, 16 amp input, making it well suited for powering servers, network switches, and storage arrays without occupying valuable horizontal rack space. Its combination of outlet types and built-in metering provides both flexibility and real-time load monitoring, helping data center technicians manage power efficiently and safely.

Key features

• Three-phase power delivery in a space-saving 0U vertical form factor preserves rack units for other equipment.
• Mixed outlet configuration includes three 5-20R receptacles, thirty C13 outlet grip connections, and six C19 outlet grip connections to support a variety of devices with different power requirements.
• Outlet grip design secures power cords firmly to reduce accidental disconnections during maintenance or airflow adjustments.
• Built-in metering at the input provides real-time load data on an onboard display, enabling quick local assessment of power usage.
• Remote monitoring capabilities via Ethernet and RS-232 ports allow integration with data center infrastructure management systems for alarms and load tracking without physical access.
• 10-foot power cord with L21-20P plug offers flexible reach to overhead busways or under-floor power whips, simplifying installation.
• Operating temperature range from 0 °C to 60 °C ensures reliable performance in hot aisle environments and network closets without active cooling.
• Tool-less mounting hardware included for fast and secure installation in standard rack channels.
• Lightweight design at 15.66 pounds facilitates handling and installation in dense rack environments.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward thanks to the tool-less mounting buttons that align with standard rack channels, allowing quick attachment without additional tools. The 10-foot power cord offers ample length to connect to overhead or under-floor power distribution systems, reducing the need for extension cables. Its lightweight design makes it easy to handle during installation or maintenance.

Ideal uses and environments

This PDU is a strong choice for enterprise data centers, education labs, and edge computing sites that require dependable three-phase power distribution with real-time monitoring. It fits well in racks where preserving horizontal space is critical and where a mix of device types demands varied outlet options. Its temperature tolerance and remote monitoring features make it suitable for hot aisle deployments and network closets that may lack active cooling.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
