Vertiv PDU METERED STANDARD 0U 20A 120 V (20)5-20R - 38668

Vertiv 38668 Metered PDU Standard 0U

Overview

The Vertiv 38668 is a 0U, rack-mountable, metered Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for standard IT deployments. It delivers 120V power to rack-enclosed equipment, providing granular monitoring of power consumption at the PDU level. This unit is ideal for data centers and network closets where precise power tracking is necessary for capacity planning and load balancing. The 0U form factor ensures it does not consume valuable horizontal rack space, maximizing density. The model number 38668 is specific to this configuration.

Compatibility

This PDU is designed for standard 19-inch racks and cabinets. It is compatible with Vertiv's rack systems and other standard rack enclosures. The 20x NEMA 5-20R outlets accept standard 120V plugs, including those with a larger ground pin common on higher-draw equipment. It requires a 120V input power source and is rated for 20A service. Ensure your facility's electrical infrastructure can support the total load drawn by connected equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation requires mounting the PDU vertically in a 0U slot within a standard rack. Secure the PDU using the provided mounting brackets. Connect the PDU's input power cord to a compatible 120V, 20A circuit breaker or power source. Ensure adequate clearance around the PDU for airflow and cable management. The unit's metering capabilities require access to its interface for configuration and data retrieval, typically via a network connection (if applicable to the specific sub-model variant, though this base model focuses on local metering).
