Q: What does 'switched' mean on the Eaton FlexPDU G2 SW?
A: A switched PDU allows administrators to remotely turn individual outlets on or off, enabling remote power cycling of connected devices without physical access to the rack — ideal for managing servers, networking equipment, and other IT hardware remotely.

Q: What type of inlet does this PDU use?
A: This unit uses an IEC C20 inlet rated at 16A, which is a standard 3-pin connector commonly used with rack PDUs and compatible with C19 or C20 power cables typically found in data centre environments.

Q: How many outlets does the Eaton FLXTSWC20C1 provide?
A: It provides 8 x IEC C13 output receptacles, suitable for powering standard server and networking equipment that uses IEC C14 power cords.

Q: Is this PDU suitable for Australian data centre use?
A: Yes. The unit operates on 200–240V AC which is compatible with the Australian mains supply. It uses an IEC C20 inlet, so an appropriate Australian plug-to-C19 or hardwired connection would be required depending on your installation.

Q: Can I purchase the Eaton FLXTSWC20C1 in Australia through IP Trading?
A: Yes. IP Trading (iptrading.com.au) is an Australian B2B IT hardware specialist. You can purchase this unit directly online or contact our team for pricing, availability, and volume inquiries with local support.

Q: What is the difference between a switched PDU and a metered PDU?
A: A metered PDU monitors and displays power consumption but does not allow remote control of outlets. A switched PDU (like this unit) allows remote on/off control of individual outlets, while some models combine both switching and metering in a single unit.
