Eaton Repo Rack Pdu Epdu Re 1U 5 20P 10 20R

Eaton REPO Rack PDU — Remote Emergency Power Off for Quick Data Center Shutdown — is the ultimate safety and control solution for mission-critical IT environments. This compact 1U distribution unit provides rapid, decisive shutdown capability to isolate faults, protect valuable equipment, and minimize downtime. With a hardwired control path that places the power-off switch outside the rack, REPO delivers fast, safe access for operators, facilities teams, and incident responders. Built on Eaton’s legacy of reliability, the REPO Rack PDU supports scalable deployments in standard 19-inch racks, delivering clear status visibility, robust protection, and streamlined safety compliance for modern data centers.

• One-button emergency shutdown: A single press instantly disconnects power to all configured outlets, enabling rapid fault isolation and protection of critical equipment during incidents, maintenance, or safety events.
• Remote, hardwired control: The shutdown switch is wired outside the rack, giving responders fast, unobstructed access without entering the cabinet or disrupting ongoing operations.
• Flexible 19-inch rack integration: Designed for standard 19-inch racks with secure mounting and optimized cable management to preserve airflow and simplify wiring in scalable deployments.
• Clear status and reliability: Built-in indicators provide real-time visibility into power state and REPO switch activity, supporting proactive incident response, auditing, and compliance reporting.
• Maintenance efficiency and safety: Centralized shutdown capabilities streamline routine maintenance while helping meet safety and regulatory requirements in busy data center environments.

• 19-inch rack compatibility: Engineered for standard rack installations with secure mounting and efficient cable management, preserving airflow and aiding consistent cooling across the enclosure.
• Visual status indicators: Integrated status indicators provide real-time feedback on power state and REPO switch activity, making monitoring straightforward for operators, facilities teams, and auditors.
• Safety-oriented design: Meets essential electrical safety standards and supports incident response workflows, helping facilities maintain high safety and regulatory compliance levels in data centers.

How to install Eaton REPO Rack PDU

• Plan the location of the REPO control switch to ensure it remains accessible during routine operations and is easily reachable by authorized personnel in an emergency. Consider sightlines, potential obstructions, and accessibility in high-traffic areas of the data center.
• Adhere to site safety procedures and local electrical codes before wiring the REPO control into the facility's electrical distribution framework. Confirm that any wiring interfaces comply with applicable standards and are performed by qualified personnel.
• Mount the PDU in a standard 19-inch rack, ensuring secure mounting with the appropriate hardware. Verify that the enclosure has unobstructed airflow, clear cable routing, and adequate clearance for hot/cold air separation.
• Connect the hardwired REPO control path according to the product’s wiring diagram, routing the control cable outside the rack to the designated control point. Use proper strain relief and protective conduits as required by local codes and site practices.
• Verify functionality and safety: power the system, confirm REPO status indicators illuminate as expected, perform a controlled emergency shutdown test with authorized personnel, and document the procedure for incident response and auditing purposes.
