Vertiv Rpdu Metered Upgradeable 30A 120/208V - I10496

Vertiv I10496 Metered Upgradeable Vertical Rack PDU — 30A, 3-Phase, 120/208V

Overview

The Vertiv I10496 is a 0U vertical rack PDU engineered for dense, three-phase data center and server room deployments where real-time power visibility matters as much as physical outlet density. With a 30A NEMA L21-30P inlet, 36 mixed C13/C19 outlets, and onboard metering of current, voltage, and power, the I10496 gives rack engineers the feed-level data they need to stay ahead of circuit saturation — without installing a separate power meter or sensor strip. The vertical form factor reclaims rack U-space entirely; mount it in the side channel and your equipment bays stay full.

This unit sits in the power distribution category of rack infrastructure, and fits naturally into any Vertiv or multi-vendor rack build where three-phase input is already available from a dedicated PDU circuit breaker panel. If you're evaluating the broader Vertiv rack PDU lineup, the I10496 targets the metered-but-not-switched tier — you get measurement, but switching is not part of this model's feature set.

Key Features

• 36-Outlet Mixed C13/C19 Capacity: Twenty-four C13 and twelve C19 receptacles (typical configuration for this class) handle both standard 1U/2U servers on C13 and higher-draw storage arrays or UPS connections on C19 — one PDU covers a full mixed-equipment rack without daisy-chaining.
• Three-Phase 30A Input (NEMA L21-30P): Drawing from a three-phase feed distributes load across all three legs, reducing per-phase current and giving you roughly 5.76kW of usable capacity at 208V before the 80% continuous-load derate kicks in. That's meaningful headroom for high-density compute without upsizing to a 60A circuit.
• Live Current, Voltage, and Power Metering: The onboard LED display reads actual load values in real time — no separate clamp meter, no guesswork about how much capacity remains on the circuit. Catch creeping load growth before a breaker trips at 2 a.m.
• Upgradeable Architecture: The
