RALEIGH, N.C. … Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced it has extended its power distribution product offering with the ePDU® Value Line. The Value Line is designed to provide high reliability and quality power distribution products that meet the fundamental power requirements of small to medium businesses.

Value Line ePDU products are available for same-day shipping through Eaton’s new ePDU TopSeller Program. Through this program, the top-selling ePDU products are stocked for high availability, allowing information technology (IT) resellers to quickly address customer requests and choose from a wide selection of quality products with same-day shipping.

“The development of the TopSeller Program and ePDU Value Line enables my company to drive sales,” said Matt Burkle, national information technology channel manager with HM Cragg. “While Eaton’s ePDU product portfolio offers advanced monitoring and control functionalities, the company recognizes that there is also a demand for reliable power distribution products for basic applications, such as wiring closets. Eaton is focused on providing a variety of power solutions to meet my customers’ needs, along with the support I need to better serve them with readily available products.”

Built to be lightweight and easy to rack-mount, the ePDU Value Line models are offered in vertical and horizontal mounted configurations for flexible use in any environment. Eaton’s full ePDU portfolio allows customers to deploy a plug-and-power architecture that organizes power distribution, simplifies cable management, and enables them to easily add and change IT equipment.

“We want to help our resellers choose the optimal rack-based power distribution units to meet their customers’ power requirements,” said Michael Camesano, ePDU product manager, Eaton’s Power Quality Division. “The Value Line is designed to provide an alternative solution with competitive pricing options compared to products with similar functionality available in the market today. Our new TopSeller Program ensures our resellers will have rapid access to those products.”
