Local view, remote view, or remote reboot?
PDUMH15: local total-current display and thirteen outlets. PDUMNH15: network reporting with eight unswitched outlets. PDUMH15NET2LX: network reporting and eight individually controllable outlets.
None fits if you need more than 12 A continuously, native 208/230 V, battery backup or a documented per-outlet energy measurement capability.

All connected loads share the same continuous rating. Additional outlets and remote management do not add usable electrical capacity. The PDUMH15 provides five more receptacles and a three-foot longer input cord than the other two models.
Choose the capability you will actually use
PDUMH15: local metered
You inspect load at the rack and prioritize receptacle count or cord reach. Check the exact manufacturer specifications before choosing a listing.
PDUMNH15: network monitored
You need remote load information and notifications, with unswitched outlets. Check the exact manufacturer specifications before choosing a listing.
PDUMH15NET2LX: switched + monitored
You need to restart individual loads remotely or sequence their power. Check the exact manufacturer specifications before choosing a listing.
Switching is not per-outlet metering
Being able to turn an individual outlet off does not establish that the unit measures that outlet’s watts or energy. The cited documents describe total-load monitoring. If chargeback or per-device energy accounting matters, require explicit outlet-level measurement specifications.
Networking creates an operating requirement
For either network model, verify current firmware, required protocols, notification setup and access controls before relying on remote functions. The product page’s included card does not prove that a used unit contains the same interface or firmware. We have not tested notifications or remote recovery.
Suffixes and document revisions matter
PDUMH15NET is another model. Its sixteen outlets and 15.5-inch chassis depth differ from the eight-outlet, 4.25-inch PDUMH15NET2LX. Do not substitute the shortened name in a purchase order.
The older monitored-PDU manual still discusses legacy SNMPWEBCARD software. The current exact-model PDF identifies WEBCARDLX. Use documentation that matches the supplied hardware and firmware.
One switched-model drawing contains an inconsistent power table. We use the 12 A / 1.44 kW at 120 V rating supported by the current exact-model page and PDF. Confirm any conflicting document with Eaton rather than selecting the larger number.
The local PDUMH15 provides no surge or line-noise protection and no battery backup. Feature tiers do not establish a surge-protection specification for the other products. Verify each exact model rather than treating every rack distribution device as a surge protector.
