Vertiv I10113 1U Horizontal Metered Rack PDU — 30A, 8-Outlet, 2.8kW

Overview

The Vertiv I10113 is a 1U horizontal metered rack power distribution unit rated at 30A, 120V, and 2.8kW — the spec combination that fits dense edge racks, telecom cabinets, and security equipment rooms where you need real power visibility without adding a second unit for monitoring. The model number on this PDU is MN01D1R1-08D203-3TL5A0H10-S, and the I10113 catalog number is how it's typically ordered and stocked. If you're currently managing rack power blind — relying on nameplate ratings and hoping circuit breakers do the work — this unit replaces that guesswork with actual amperage data per breaker and phase-level energy figures at the PDU.

For security integrators building out NVR racks, encoder shelves, or PoE switch bays, the combination of 8 outlets, dual breaker protection, and scrolling digital metering makes the I10113 a practical fit without the overhead of a full SNMP-managed unit.

Key Features

• 30A Input at 120V, 2.8kW Total Capacity: The L5-30P twistlock plug draws from a 30A circuit — the standard for mid-density rack loads. At 2.8kW usable, you can run a full NVR stack plus associated switching gear without hunting for headroom. Most standard 15A/20A PDUs leave dense AV or surveillance racks underprovisioned.
• 8x NEMA 5-20R Receptacles: Standard 5-20R outlets accept any 5-15P or 5-20P plug, so server PSUs, network switches, and security appliances all connect without adapters. Eight outlets in 1U is a reasonable density for a single rack row without overloading a single breaker bank.
• Dual 20A Single-Pole Magnetic Breakers: Two independent 20A magnetic breakers divide the 8-outlet bank — typically 4 outlets per circuit. Magnetic breakers respond faster and more consistently than thermal types across temperature swings, which matters in environments near the 60°C operating ceiling. Tripping one breaker doesn't kill the whole rack.
• Phase-Level Metering — kWh, W, VA, PF, V, A: The scrolling digital display cycles through real energy data: kilowatt-hours for billing or capacity planning, watts and volt-amps for load vs. efficiency analysis, power factor to catch reactive load problems from switching PSUs, and live voltage and current. This is the data you need to verify actual draw before a circuit breaker event, not after.
• Circuit/Breaker-Level Current Monitoring: Beyond phase totals, the I10113 monitors amperage per circuit — the distinction between Level 1 and Level 2 metering. You can see which breaker bank is approaching its 20A limit without pulling a clamp meter. Useful when a rack is shared between teams and load attribution matters.
• Scrolling/Rotatable Digital Display: The display can be rotated to remain readable regardless of rack orientation or cable routing. In 0U side-mount or horizontally dense rack scenarios, a fixed-orientation display is a common annoyance. This eliminates it.
• 10ft Power Cord, 10/3 AWG, Left-Rear Entry: The 10-foot cord gives enough slack for most rack-to-PDU runs without coiling excess at the cabinet floor. The 10/3 AWG wire gauge is correctly sized for the 30A load — undersized cabling on high-current PDUs is a real field problem. Left-rear entry keeps the cord path clear of front-panel equipment.
• Adjustable Mount Brackets, 19in / 483mm: Standard EIA-310 19-inch bracket mounting fits virtually any open-frame or enclosed cabinet. The adjustable bracket accommodates varying rail depths — useful in mixed-vintage rack environments where rail spacing isn't uniform.
• Rated to 60°C / 140°F Operating Temperature: Most rack electronics derate or shut down around 45–50°C. The I10113's 60°C ceiling means it stays operational in hot-aisle conditions, enclosed equipment rooms without dedicated cooling, or outdoor enclosures with passive ventilation. That margin matters on a device that should never be the reason the rack goes dark.
• UL & c-UL Listed, FCC Part 15 Class A, RoHS Compliant: UL and c-UL listing covers both US and Canadian deployments. FCC Part 15 Class A is the commercial/industrial emissions standard — not consumer grade. RoHS compliance clears the unit for installations with environmental material restrictions. These aren't checkbox certs; they're required for data center facility compliance in most enterprise procurement.
• 1U Horizontal, Black Powder Coat Chassis (1.72in × 17in × 8.5in): The physical footprint is tight enough to fit above or below a 2U NVR without burning a dedicated PDU bay. Black powder coat is standard for rack aesthetics and resists surface corrosion in variable-humidity environments.
• 5-Year Limited Warranty: Five years on a PDU is above average for this product class and reflects Vertiv's commercial-grade build standard. For infrastructure that runs 24/7/365 and is rarely touched after commissioning, longer warranty coverage reduces lifecycle replacement planning overhead.

Integration and Compatibility

The I10113 connects to any standard 19-inch rack enclosure via the included adjustable mount brackets. The NEMA L5-30P twistlock input requires a matching 30A, 120V circuit — verify your facility's panel has a 30A breaker and an L5-30 receptacle before ordering. The 8 NEMA 5-20R outlets accept 15A and 20A loads without adapters, covering the plug types used across NVRs, PoE switches, servers, and security appliances. For installations requiring remote outlet switching or SNMP/network management, step up within the Vertiv managed PDU line — the I10113 is a local-display metered unit only, with no network port or remote access capability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What input plug does the Vertiv I10113 use, and what circuit does it require?

A: The I10113 uses a NEMA L5-30P twistlock plug and requires a dedicated 30A, 120V circuit. Confirm your rack room panel has a 30A breaker and an L5-30 receptacle before installation.

Q: How many outlets does the I10113 have, and what receptacle type?

A: The I10113 provides 8 NEMA 5-20R outlets. These accept both NEMA 5-15P and 5-20P plugs, covering standard server, switch, and security appliance power cords without adapters.

Q: Does the I10113 have network management or remote monitoring capability?

A: No. The I10113 is a locally-metered PDU with a scrolling digital display. It provides phase-level and circuit-level monitoring visible at the unit, but has no Ethernet port, SNMP capability, or remote access. If remote monitoring is required, evaluate Vertiv's managed PDU variants.

Q: What certifications does the I10113 carry?

A: The I10113 is UL and c-UL Listed (60950), FCC Part 15 Class A certified, and RoHS compliant. UL and c-UL listing covers both US and Canadian commercial deployments.

Q: What is the warranty on the Vertiv I10113?

A: Vertiv provides a 5-year limited warranty on the I10113.

Q: How is the load divided across the I10113's two breakers?

A: The I10113 has two 20A single-pole magnetic breakers. Each breaker protects a portion of the 8-outlet bank — tripping one circuit does not cut power to the entire PDU, which limits the blast radius of an overload event in a shared rack.

The I10113 sits in a specific gap in the Vertiv PDU lineup: local metering with dual-circuit breaker visibility, no network overhead, at the 30A/2.8kW input rating that dense 1U security racks actually need. The dual 20A magnetic breakers — not thermal, magnetic — are the detail I always point integrators to when they're speccing equipment rooms that run hot or cycle through ambient temperature swings. Magnetic breakers don't drift their trip point the way thermal types do at elevated temperatures, and the I10113's 60°C operating ceiling means it won't be the first thing that fails when the HVAC has a bad day.

Technical Highlights:

• Phase + Circuit Metering (Level 1 + Level 2): kWh, W, VA, PF, V, and A at the phase level, plus per-circuit amperage via the two breaker channels. That's the data you need to prove a rack is within safe operating margins before a facilities audit, not just after a trip event.
• Dual 20A Magnetic Breakers: Two independent protection zones on 8 outlets means a single overload event takes down half the rack at most. Magnetic trip elements maintain consistent response down to 0°C and up to the 60°C ceiling — critical in edge deployments without precision climate control.
• 10ft / 10/3 AWG Cord: Wire gauge is correctly matched to the 30A load. Field-replaced PDUs with undersized cords on 30A circuits are a real problem; the factory cord on the I10113 is properly sized from the start.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify the destination rack cabinet has an L5-30 receptacle at the panel — the L5-30P twistlock plug is not interchangeable with standard L6-30 or 5-30 connections. This is the most common mis-order with this PDU class.
• The I10113 has no network port. If your NOC needs remote amperage trending, alerting, or outlet-level switching, this unit cannot deliver it — select a Vertiv managed PDU variant instead. The I10113 is purely a local-display metered solution.

The I10113 is the right call for security integrators building NVR and edge-compute racks in equipment rooms that lack precision HVAC — the 60°C operating rating, dual magnetic breakers, and real metering data make it a practical infrastructure layer for a rack that needs to run unattended for years without someone physically verifying circuit draw.
