Description

Vertiv 27930 Basic PDU Concise Descriptor

Overview

The Vertiv 27930 is a non-surge protected, 16-outlet power distribution unit (PDU) designed for basic power needs in rack-mount environments. It provides essential power distribution for IT equipment where surge protection is handled upstream or is not a requirement. This unit is ideal for network closets, staging areas, or secondary racks where simplified power delivery is sufficient. The 27930 model ensures reliable power to multiple devices from a single input source.

Compatibility

This PDU is compatible with standard 19-inch rack enclosures. It is designed to accept standard C13 power cords from IT equipment. While it does not include surge protection, it is intended for use in environments where upstream surge protection is already implemented or where the connected equipment does not require it. It is suitable for use with Vertiv rack systems and other standard server racks.

Installation Notes

Mounting is achieved via standard rack mounting brackets, typically requiring two rack spaces (2U) in a 19-inch rack. Ensure the total power draw of connected equipment does not exceed the PDU's input capacity (typically 15A or 20A, depending on the specific input cord and circuit). The unit requires a standard NEMA 5-15P or 5-20P input plug, depending on the configuration.
