Vertiv PDU BASIC SURGE 1U 20A 120V (10 - 39118

Vertiv 39118 Basic Surge PDU

Overview

The Vertiv 39118 is a 1U rack-mountable power distribution unit (PDU) designed to provide basic surge protection for critical IT equipment within a 120V environment. This unit is suitable for deployments where essential surge suppression is required without the complexity of metered or switched power management. It ensures that connected devices receive clean power and are shielded from transient voltage spikes, protecting sensitive electronics in server racks and network closets. The 39118 model offers 10 outlets, providing sufficient capacity for a standard rack configuration.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for standard 19-inch rack systems. It is compatible with any IT equipment requiring a 120V power source with a NEMA 5-20P plug. The unit's 20A rating means it can support higher-draw devices compared to standard 15A PDUs, making it suitable for denser rack configurations or equipment with larger power requirements. It integrates directly into existing rack infrastructure, requiring no specialized mounting hardware beyond standard rack rails.

Installation Notes

The PDU requires a standard 120V, 20A circuit. Ensure the circuit breaker feeding the PDU is rated appropriately to prevent overload. The NEMA 5-20P plug connects to a corresponding 20A outlet. For optimal performance and safety, it is recommended to connect the PDU to a surge-protected circuit or a UPS for enhanced protection. Distribute the load evenly across the 10 outlets to avoid exceeding the PDU's capacity.
