Vertiv FSC3N006 60A 3-Phase IP67 Power Feed Connector
Overview
The Vertiv FSC3N006 is a 60A, 208V Delta 3-phase power feed connector engineered for high-density, environmentally demanding deployments. Designed around a 3P+E universal connector format with IP67 environmental sealing, this unit targets data center edge rows, outdoor equipment enclosures, and any installation where a robust, field-serviceable 3-phase feed point is non-negotiable. If you're provisioning power to high-draw rack rows or outdoor industrial enclosures, the FSC3N006 belongs on your short list.
This unit is part of the broader Vertiv power infrastructure line, a catalog focused on data center and industrial power distribution. For context on selecting the right power distribution unit or feed connector for your project, review your load calculations before specifying.
Key Features
- 60A Capacity: At 60 amps, this connector handles high-density rack rows without daisy-chaining multiple lower-rated feeds — a critical factor when you're running blade chassis or high-draw compute equipment that would saturate a 30A or 32A feed.
- 208V Delta Input: Matched to the 208V Delta distribution topology common in North American 3-phase data center environments. Verify your panel is 208V Delta before specifying — this is not a wye-configured input, and mismatching input topology is a commissioning risk.
- 208V Output: Output voltage mirrors the input at 208V, delivering clean pass-through 3-phase power directly to connected equipment without step-down transformation — important for equipment with fixed 208V input requirements.
- IP67-Rated 3P+E Connector: The 3P+E (3 phase + earth) plug format with IP67 sealing means this connector withstands temporary submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. For outdoor edge deployments, industrial floor installations, or any location subject to wash-down or flooding risk, IP67 is the meaningful spec here — IP54 or IP65 connectors will not survive the same conditions. Pair this with an appropriate outdoor equipment enclosure for full system protection.
- Universal Connector Output: The universal connector format on the output side provides flexibility to terminate to a range of mating receptacles without requiring custom tooling or proprietary adapters, reducing field installation complexity.
- 50/60Hz Frequency Compatibility: Dual-frequency support means this unit deploys in both North American (60Hz) and international (50Hz) installations without substitution — useful for organizations managing global infrastructure or equipment that ships across regions.
- 60°C Operating Temperature: Rated to 60°C ambient, the FSC3N006 tolerates the elevated thermal environments typical of enclosed equipment rooms, outdoor enclosures in warm climates, or high-density installations with limited airflow. If your ambient regularly exceeds this, factor in derating or additional cooling before deployment.
Integration & Compatibility
The FSC3N006 is designed to integrate into Vertiv power distribution architectures, particularly rack power distribution systems where a high-current 3-phase feed connection is required. Confirm connector mating compatibility with your existing rack PDU or downstream distribution equipment before ordering. The IP67 plug rating also supports integration into outdoor or semi-outdoor enclosure builds where other Vertiv PDU accessories are specified.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum current capacity of the FSC3N006?
A: The FSC3N006 is rated at 60A capacity.
Q: What input voltage does the FSC3N006 require?
A: The FSC3N006 requires a 208V Delta 3-phase input. Verify your distribution panel matches this topology before installation.
Q: What is the IP rating of the FSC3N006 connector?
A: The 3P+E plug on the FSC3N006 is IP67 rated, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and temporary submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.
Q: Is the FSC3N006 compatible with both 50Hz and 60Hz power systems?
A: Yes. The FSC3N006 supports both 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies, making it suitable for North American and international installations.
Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for the FSC3N006?
A: The FSC3N006 is rated for operation up to 60°C ambient, suitable for warm enclosed equipment rooms and outdoor enclosures in moderate to hot climates.
Q: What connector type does the FSC3N006 use on the output side?
A: The output uses a universal connector format, providing flexibility to mate with a range of standard receptacles without proprietary adapters.
The FSC3N006's IP67-rated 3P+E connector is the specification that matters most in practice — it is the difference between a feed point that survives a wet-environment commissioning day or a periodic equipment wash-down and one that fails at the connector before the PDU ever becomes the issue. At 60A on a 208V Delta topology, this is purpose-built for high-current 3-phase distribution at the row or enclosure level.
Technical Highlights:
- 60A / 208V Delta: Sufficient headroom for high-density rack rows without needing parallel feeds — one connection handles what two 30A circuits would require, simplifying your wiring layout.
- IP67 3P+E Plug: Full dust-tight sealing plus 30-minute submersion tolerance means this connector is spec-compliant for outdoor enclosures and industrial installations where lesser-rated connectors are a liability.
- 60°C Operating Temperature: Thermal headroom to 60°C lets this unit sit inside enclosed outdoor cabinets in warm climates without derating concerns under typical load profiles.
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm your upstream panel is configured as 208V Delta — not 208V wye. These are not interchangeable topologies, and specifying the wrong feed connector is a costly field correction.
- The 50/60Hz dual-frequency rating is operationally useful for international projects, but double-check downstream equipment input specs independently — the connector tolerates both frequencies, but connected loads may not.
The FSC3N006 is the right spec for outdoor edge compute enclosures or industrial equipment rooms in warm climates where a high-current, environmentally sealed 3-phase feed point is required — not a general-purpose PDU accessory.
