Vertiv VP1U60A2 Vertical 0U Rack PDU 60A 36-Outlet
Overview
The Vertiv VP1U60A2 is a high-density 0U vertical rack PDU rated at 60/63A, 240/415V WYE input — delivering up to 43.4KW of distributed power across 36 combination C13/C19 receptacles. Designed for high-density compute and networking enclosures where horizontal rack space is at a premium, this unit mounts vertically inside the cabinet and draws input via a 3P+N+E IP44 plug. The combination outlet design accepts both C14 and C20 plugs without adapters, which matters in mixed server and networking deployments where equipment plug types aren't uniform. VP1U60A2 carries UL and CE dual listings and is RoHS-certified, making it viable for deployments in both North American and international data center environments subject to those compliance requirements.
Compatibility
The VP1U60A2 is a passive distribution unit that works with any rack equipment using IEC C13 or C20 plug types — including 1U/2U rack servers, top-of-rack switches, KVM switches, storage arrays, and network appliances drawing from a 240/415V WYE three-phase source. The 3P+N+E input plug connects to compatible three-phase PDU input circuits at 60/63A breaker capacity. The P-Lock cable retention system is compatible with P-Lock locking power cords, reducing unintended disconnects in dense wiring environments. Hot-swap monitoring capability means a Vertiv-compatible monitoring module can be added later without powering down the PDU — useful in environments where downtime for upgrades is not acceptable. Fits standard 600mm and 800mm wide racks with vertical mounting channels.
Installation Notes
Mount vertically inside the rack enclosure using the integrated mounting hardware — the 2" W x 2.6" D profile leaves the full rack depth available for equipment. Input connection requires a 3P+N+E IP44 plug on a 60/63A three-phase circuit; confirm upstream breaker rating and panel phase availability before deployment. All 36 outlets are individually tested at the factory. High-retention color-coded outlets indicate phase assignment — verify phase balance across connected loads to avoid overloading a single leg. Warranty extends from 3 years standard to 5 years upon registration within 120 days of purchase.
