Vertiv VP6U62A0 Monitored Outlet-Level rPDU 2U Horizontal
Overview
The Vertiv PowerIT VP6U62A0 is a 2U horizontal rack PDU delivering outlet-level monitoring at 60/63A, 240V, with a 14.4kW (15.12 kVA) capacity — the right choice for high-density compute rows where you need per-outlet visibility into load distribution, not just aggregate input readings. The 24 combination C13/C19 outlets accommodate mixed server and storage cabling without adapter overhead. A hot-swappable IMD-5M monitoring module with dual gigabit ethernet ports means you can swap firmware or replace the intelligence layer without dropping power to the rack — critical in 24/7 data center environments where scheduled downtime windows are scarce.
Compatibility
Designed for standard 19-inch rack enclosures in a 2U horizontal orientation. The 1P+N+E (IP44) input plug is configured for 200–240V single-phase feeds — confirm your PDU whip or panel circuit is sized for 60A/63A at 240V before deployment. The combination C13/C19 outlet format supports direct connections to IEC C14 (1U/2U servers, switches) and IEC C20 (high-draw servers, storage arrays) power supplies without port-specific planning. P-Lock cable retention is supported, reducing accidental disconnection risk under cable-dense conditions. Remote management integrates via dual gigabit ethernet (primary/secondary) or serial, making it compatible with DCIM platforms and BMS systems that support SNMP, Modbus, or RESTful APIs — consult the IMD-5M firmware release notes for supported protocol versions. TAA compliance makes this unit eligible for U.S. federal procurement environments.
Installation Notes
The unit ships at 20 lbs — factor two-person installation for overhead horizontal mounting in a populated rack. Dimensions are 17.12 x 12 x 3.48 inches (2U); verify rear-mounted PDU channel clearance if your enclosure uses a tooled PDU bracket rail. Color-coded, high-retention outlets are individually tested at the factory. The IMD-5M module is field-replaceable without powering down the PDU — seat the replacement module until it clicks and confirm link status on both ethernet ports before clearing the maintenance window.
