Eaton FLXTMA116C2 | FlexPDU G2 Metered 0U 1-Phase 16A PDU, IEC 309 Inlet, 20x C13 & 4x C19 Outlets

Q: What does the 'MA' designation mean on this Eaton FlexPDU G2?
A: MA' stands for Metered Appliance, meaning the PDU provides real-time inlet-level power metering, allowing you to monitor total load (kW, kVA, current) without requiring a network connection or additional management software.

Q: What is the difference between IEC C13 and IEC C19 outlets, and why does this PDU include both?
A: IEC C13 outlets (rated up to 10A) are standard for most servers, switches, and networking equipment. IEC C19 outlets (rated up to 16A) support higher-draw devices such as high-density servers, storage arrays, and blade chassis. The mixed configuration offers maximum flexibility in a single PDU.

Q: What type of inlet does the FLXTMA116C2 use, and what cable does it require?
A: This PDU uses an IEC 309 (IEC 60309) 16A inlet, which is a robust industrial-grade connector commonly used in data centres and commercial installations. You will need a compatible IEC 60309 16A power cable to connect it to your power source or UPS.

Q: Is this PDU suitable for zero-U (0U) vertical mounting in a standard rack?
A: Yes. The FlexPDU G2 is specifically designed for zero-U vertical mounting along the side of a standard 19-inch or 23-inch rack, so it does not consume any rack unit (1U) space, leaving all rack units available for active equipment.

A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware supplier that stocks Eaton power distribution products and ships across Australia. You can order online or contact the team for volume pricing and availability.

Q: What environments is this PDU best suited for?
A: The Eaton FlexPDU G2 MA is ideal for enterprise data centres, colocation facilities, server rooms, and edge deployments where space efficiency, mixed outlet requirements, and basic power monitoring are priorities.
