Eaton EFLX12I Power Distribution Unit

The Eaton EFLX12I is a 1U basic power distribution unit (PDU) designed for rack mounting in data centers and server rooms. It provides 13 C13 AC outlets, supports a nominal input voltage of 230 V and a maximum current of 13 A for single-phase applications. The unit is RoHS and CE compliant, has a compact black metal housing (439 mm × 58.5 mm × 43.4 mm) and weighs 1.7 kg, offering a straightforward solution for distributing power from rackmount UPS systems and other rack equipment.

Advantages

The Eaton EFLX12I offers a compact 1U form factor that saves rack space while providing a high outlet count. Compatibility with UPS units below 3 kVA and multiple mounting options (rack or wall) make it flexible for different installation scenarios. Compliance with RoHS and CE standards ensures regulatory safety and environmental conformity.

Suitable for

• Data center and server room racks
• Connection to rackmount UPS systems (below 3 kVA)
• Small to medium IT cabinets and network closets
• Power distribution for servers, switches and storage devices

How to use

Install the Eaton EFLX12I into a standard 19-inch rack occupying 1U of rack space or mount it on a wall using appropriate brackets. Connect the PDU input to a compatible single-phase power source or the output of a rackmount UPS (below 3 kVA). Plug equipment power cords into the 13 C13 outlets, observing the unit’s 13 A maximum current rating to avoid overloading. Ensure proper grounding and follow local electrical codes during installation.

Recommendations

Distribute connected loads across multiple outlets and monitor total current draw to keep the load under 13 A. Use the PDU with compatible Eaton Evolution, EX or M series UPS systems where applicable, and reserve high-voltage PDUs for EX RT series units. Perform regular visual inspections and secure cable management to maintain airflow and reduce strain on connectors.
