Vertiv VP1U60A0 Vertical 0U Rack PDU 60/63A 240V

Overview

The VP1U60A0 is a vertical 0U rack power distribution unit from Vertiv's PowerIT Basic series. It delivers 63A at 240V — 14.4kW of usable capacity — across 36 combination C13/C19 outlets in a zero-U form factor that mounts in the vertical rails of a standard open-frame or enclosed rack, keeping all 1U–2U horizontal bay space available for active equipment. This is the right unit when a two-post or four-post rack needs high-density power distribution for mixed server/storage loads without committing a rack unit to the PDU itself. The hot-swappable intelligent monitoring device (IMD) means you can pull and replace the monitoring module without cycling power to connected equipment — a real advantage during maintenance windows in always-on deployments.

Compatibility

The VP1U60A0 is designed for standard 19-inch and 23-inch rack enclosures and open-frame two-post racks that accept vertical zero-U PDU mounting brackets. The 36 combination C13/C19 outlets accept standard IEC 60320 C14 and C20 power cords — compatible with the majority of 1U/2U rack servers, storage arrays, and network switches from Dell, HPE, Lenovo, Cisco, and similar vendors. High-retention P-Lock compatible outlets reduce accidental cord disconnection on vibration-prone or high-density installations. Network monitoring integrates via standard RJ-45 Ethernet or RS-232 serial, so it fits existing DCIM and remote power management platforms without proprietary agents. TAA compliance makes this unit eligible for U.S. federal and government procurement.

Installation Notes

Input connection is a single 60A/63A 240V feed — verify your circuit breaker and whip assembly match before installation. The 3.5 x 2.6 in (W x D) cross-section fits standard vertical PDU channels; confirm your rack enclosure has a vertical PDU mounting channel or bracket kit before ordering. Unit weight is 19 lb — plan for two-person installation when mounting in tall racks. Remote monitoring requires network connectivity at the rack; the IMD supports both Ethernet and serial connection. Register the unit within 120 days of purchase to extend the standard 3-year manufacturer warranty to 5 years.
