Vertiv 13203 Basic 0U PDU 20A 120V (8)

Overview

The Vertiv 13203 is a basic, 0U rackmount power distribution unit (PDU) designed for straightforward power delivery in standard IT racks. It provides eight NEMA 5-15R outlets, suitable for powering essential network devices, servers, and other rack-mounted equipment where advanced monitoring or switching is not required. This unit is ideal for smaller deployments or as a supplementary power source in larger racks, ensuring reliable power distribution without complexity. The 13203 model is configured for a 120V input and a 20A circuit capacity.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for use with standard 19-inch server racks and cabinets. It requires a NEMA 5-15P input plug, compatible with standard 120V wall outlets or 20A circuit breakers. It is suitable for use with a wide range of IT equipment that utilizes NEMA 5-15R power cords, including network switches, routers, patch panels, and entry-level servers. Ensure your rack has sufficient vertical space for a 0U (zero-unit) PDU installation, typically mounted along the rear or side of the rack frame.

Installation Notes

Mounting the 13203 PDU is straightforward, utilizing the included tool-less mounting brackets for quick installation into compatible 0U rack slots. The unit requires a dedicated 20A circuit to operate at its maximum capacity. Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the power source to prevent accidental disconnection. Verify that the total current draw of connected devices does not exceed the PDU's 20A rating to prevent overloading.
