Vertiv 12579 Metered PDU Concise Descriptor
Overview
The Vertiv 12579 is a metered, 0U rackmount Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for standard 120V, 15A IT environments. It provides essential power monitoring at the PDU level, allowing you to track power consumption for individual outlets or the entire unit. This is critical for capacity planning and identifying potential power overload conditions in dense server rack deployments. The 0U form factor ensures it mounts vertically in the back of a standard rack, consuming no horizontal rack space and preserving room for IT equipment.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for use in standard 19-inch server racks and cabinets. It is compatible with any 120V power source capable of supplying at least 15A. It is suitable for use with a wide range of IT equipment, including servers, network switches, and storage devices, provided their combined power draw does not exceed the PDU's 15A rating. It is not specific to any particular server or network hardware brand, offering broad compatibility across diverse IT infrastructures.
Installation Notes
The 12579 features a standard NEMA 5-15P input plug, requiring a 15A, 120V circuit. It mounts vertically within the rear of a standard 19-inch rack using the provided mounting brackets. Ensure adequate clearance for the power cord and any connected equipment's power cables. The unit's metered functionality requires connection to a network interface (not included) for remote monitoring, or local viewing via its integrated display.
