Vertiv CPQ-695244-02 Horizontal Rackmount PDU

Overview

The Vertiv CPQ-695244-02 is a horizontal rackmount power distribution unit rated at 15A / 120V with a 1.4KW capacity and eight NEMA 5-15R receptacles. Built on Vertiv's Geist custom rPDU platform, this unit addresses the common rack-level power distribution need in 1U horizontal form factor installations where standard 15-amp branch circuits feed IT equipment, security appliances, or edge compute nodes. The thermal breaker protects downstream equipment from overload without requiring manual reset of a mechanical trip mechanism under normal thermal recovery conditions.

Compatibility

The CPQ-695244-02 is designed for standard 19-inch equipment racks accepting 1U horizontal PDU configurations. The eight NEMA 5-15R outlets accommodate any equipment with a standard NEMA 5-15P plug drawing within the 15A / 120V / 1.4KW aggregate capacity. Typical deployment targets include shallow-depth security racks, small edge enclosures, and distributed IT closets fed by standard 15A building branch circuits. Confirm your rack's inlet power feed matches 120V before deploying — this unit is not rated for 208V or 240V environments.

Installation Notes

Mount horizontally in a standard 19-inch rack using the integrated mounting ears. Verify the upstream branch circuit breaker is rated at 15A or greater, and that total connected load does not exceed 1.4KW (approximately 80% of rated capacity is the standard de-rating practice for continuous loads, putting the practical ceiling near 1.12KW continuous). The thermal breaker resets automatically once the overload condition clears and the unit cools — no manual reset button is required under normal operation, but locate the unit accessibly if manual inspection is needed after a trip event.
