Vertiv 12566 Metered PDU 1U 15A 120V
Overview
The Vertiv 12566 is a 1U rackmount, metered Power Distribution Unit (PDU) designed for standard 120V, 15A applications. It provides essential power distribution and monitoring capabilities for IT equipment within server racks, ensuring reliable power delivery and basic insight into power consumption. This unit is ideal for network closets, small server rooms, and edge computing deployments where space and power density are critical. The 12566 model offers metered functionality, allowing you to track power usage at the PDU level.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for standard 19-inch rack enclosures. It accepts a standard NEMA 5-15P input plug, compatible with typical 120V wall outlets and rackmount power whips. The unit's 1U height ensures it fits within most standard rack spaces without consuming excessive vertical real estate. It is suitable for powering a variety of IT equipment including servers, switches, routers, and network appliances that fall within its 15A capacity.
Installation Notes
Mounting is achieved via standard rack mounting ears, typically secured with included or separately sourced rack screws. Ensure the total load does not exceed the PDU's 15A (1800W at 120V) rating to prevent overcurrent conditions. The unit's power cord is a NEMA 5-15P, requiring a corresponding NEMA 5-15R receptacle. Proper airflow should be maintained around the PDU and connected equipment to prevent overheating.
