Eaton G4 Switched Rack PDU 7.3kW

The Eaton G4 Switched Rack PDU (model ESWA08) is a single-phase, outlet-level switched power distribution unit engineered for high-density data center and colocation environments. Built on Eaton's fourth-generation intelligent PDU platform, it delivers 7.3 kW of managed power capacity through a bank of individually switched outlets, enabling remote power cycling, sequenced startup, and granular load control without requiring physical access to the rack. The G4 architecture incorporates embedded network management via a dedicated management port, supporting SNMP, Modbus TCP, and a built-in web interface for integration with leading data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platforms.

Each outlet on the ESWA08 can be independently switched on, off, or power-cycled through the network management interface, making it particularly well-suited for colocation operators, managed service providers, and enterprise IT teams that must maintain uptime and perform remote remediation across geographically distributed or physically inaccessible racks. The unit provides real-time current monitoring at the inlet level, with threshold-based alerting to help prevent circuit overloads before they impact operations. Onboard data logging captures load trends over time, supporting capacity planning and compliance reporting workflows.

The G4 Switched PDU is designed for tool-less vertical or horizontal mounting in standard 19-inch EIA-310 racks and features a compact form factor that preserves valuable rack space. Its robust steel enclosure and Eaton's proven power management firmware make it a dependable foundation for critical infrastructure deployments where remote power management, audit trails, and rapid fault recovery are operational requirements.

Ideal for

• Remote power cycling of locked-up servers or network appliances in colocation facilities where hands-on access is restricted or costly
• Sequenced outlet power-on during rack startup to prevent inrush current spikes and enforce boot dependencies between interconnected systems
• Outlet-level load monitoring and threshold alerting to detect overload conditions and protect circuit breakers in high-density compute environments
• Integration with DCIM platforms via SNMP or Modbus TCP for centralized rack power visibility, historical trending, and capacity planning
• Managed service providers enabling tenant-level outlet control and power metering within shared colocation racks without granting physical access
• Disaster recovery drills and automated runbook execution requiring scripted, network-driven power sequencing across multiple rack-mounted devices
