Eaton G4 Switched Rack PDU 11kW Single-Phase

The Eaton G4 Switched Rack PDU (part number ESWB13) is a single-phase, 11kW intelligent power distribution unit engineered to deliver outlet-level switching and metering within a high-density rack environment. Built on Eaton's fourth-generation PDU platform, the unit combines granular remote power control with real-time current, voltage, and power consumption monitoring at both the unit and individual outlet levels, enabling operations teams to manage load balance, enforce power policies, and eliminate unnecessary truck rolls to the data center floor.

The G4 architecture incorporates a network interface that exposes telemetry and switching controls through SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Modbus TCP, and a secured HTTPS web interface, integrating natively with data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platforms and building management systems. Outlet-level switching allows remote power cycling of locked or unresponsive equipment, enforcement of sequential power-up sequences, and fine-grained load shedding during capacity events. The unit is designed for vertical installation in standard 0U rack positions, preserving valuable rack unit space for revenue-generating compute and storage assets.

Targeted at colocation facilities, enterprise data centers, and managed service environments, the ESWB13 addresses the need for accountability and visibility at every individual outlet. Environmental monitoring ports enable connection of temperature and humidity sensors, extending situational awareness beyond power metrics. The G4 platform's backward-compatible communication architecture supports phased DCIM integration projects, making the unit suitable for both greenfield deployments and incremental upgrades to existing metered or unmonitored PDU estates.

Ideal for

• Remote power cycling of locked or unresponsive servers in colocation facilities where physical access requires scheduling or carries additional fees
• Outlet-level load monitoring and capacity planning in high-density enterprise racks to prevent circuit overloads before deployment of additional compute nodes
• Enforcement of sequential power-up and power-down procedures for clustered workloads, database servers, or storage arrays requiring defined boot order
• Integration with DCIM platforms via SNMP v3 or Modbus TCP to feed real-time per-outlet power data into centralized infrastructure dashboards and reporting
• Selective load shedding during UPS runtime events or utility brownouts by remotely switching off non-critical outlets while preserving power to priority systems
• Environmental condition monitoring in conjunction with Eaton-compatible temperature and humidity sensors to correlate thermal data with per-rack power consumption
