This Tripp Lite by Eaton switched power distribution unit is engineered for the most demanding data centers, server rooms, and network closets. It combines high-density electrical distribution with intelligent, network-enabled power control, giving you granular visibility and control across every outlet. With a 28.8 kW capacity, three-phase input, and a 24-outlet configuration, this PDU is built to support modern rack deployments that demand reliability, uptime, and efficient power management. The LX interface, a rugged LCD readout, and Gigabit networking make it easy to monitor power usage, set policies, and respond to events in real time, all while maintaining tight control over energy consumption and device startup sequences. Whether you’re consolidating servers, deploying hyper-converged infrastructure, or deploying edge computing in network closets, this PDU helps you optimize power delivery and operational efficiency at scale.

• Advanced remote power control: Turn on, turn off, reboot, or lock out power to individual outlets from anywhere on the network. This capability is essential for automating maintenance, applying update cycles, and implementing rapid fault isolation without requiring on-site visits. The switched outlets empower you to orchestrate graceful reboots, staggered power-on sequences, and policy-driven power management that minimizes downtime and protects critical workloads.
• High-density distribution with scalable capacity: A 28.8 kW total power rating supports densely packed racks and high-performance servers. With 24 individual outlets, you can distribute loads precisely where they’re needed, reducing the risk of outlet overloading and enabling more efficient use of rack space. The compact, 0U footprint maximizes cabinet real estate while delivering robust electrical distribution for your IT infrastructure.
• LX interface with LCD for local and remote management: The LX interface provides an intuitive local management experience, showing real-time measurements, outlet status, and configuration options directly on the built-in LCD. For remote administration, you can leverage the Gigabit network interface to monitor, configure, and control the PDU via standard management protocols. This dual-access approach ensures you have immediate visibility on the unit and remote access for centralized control.
• Gigabit network management and security features: The PDU supports a modern management stack with reliable remote monitoring, alerting, and control. Network visibility includes status alerts, energy consumption reporting, and the ability to perform controlled power cycles. Robust security features guard access to critical power controls, ensuring that only authorized personnel can modify outlet states.
• Rugged build for data centers and government procurement (TAA-compliant): Designed to endure the rigors of data-center environments, this PDU is built to meet stringent industry standards and is TAA compliant for government and contractor procurement. The combination of reliability, precise control, and compliance makes it suitable for enterprise deployments, managed service providers, and regulated environments alike.

How to Install Tripp Lite by Eaton 28.8kW Switched PDU

• Plan and prepare: Assess rack space, cable routing, and cooling considerations. Ensure your data center power distribution architecture aligns with a 380-415V three-phase supply and that the selected rack can accommodate a 0U PDU with a 1.8 m length for reach and alignment with outlets and equipment.
• Mount the PDU in the rack: Install the 0U chassis securely in the rack using the appropriate mounting hardware. Verify that there is clearance for the LCD display and the network port, and that venting is unobstructed to maintain proper airflow around the PDU.
• Connect the power input: Hardwire the PDU to the 380-415V three-phase supply per local electrical codes. Confirm that circuit breakers and feeders are rated for the expected load and that proper grounding is in place before energizing the system.
• Establish network and local access: Connect the PDU’s Gigabit Ethernet port to your management network. Use the LCD interface for initial onboarding, IP configuration, and basic status checks, then switch to the web UI or SNMP-based management for ongoing operations.
• Configure outlets and policies: Use the LX LCD to label each outlet, group outlets by function or device type, and set up power-on/off sequences, alert thresholds, and reboot policies. Create outlet-specific permissions to ensure only authorized personnel can perform critical actions.
• Test and verify: Power on connected devices in a controlled sequence, verify that each outlet responds to remote commands, and confirm that status indicators, alarms, and energy measurements reflect real-world operation. Validate that reboot, power-cycling, and lockout features function as intended.
• Document and monitor: Record the PDU’s IP address, outlet mappings, and configured policies in your data-center runbooks. Enable continuous monitoring, set up email or SNMP alerts for over-current events, and test remediation workflows to ensure rapid response during faults.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What does LX interface mean? A: The LX interface is the local management panel that lets you view status, configure outlets, and perform control actions directly on the PDU using its built-in LCD display. It complements remote management over the Gigabit Ethernet interface for a complete management solution.
• Q: How many outlets does this PDU have? A: It features 24 outlets, enabling flexible distribution for multiple servers, network devices, and other rack-mounted equipment within a single unit.
