Vertiv VP6U60A0 Monitored Outlet-Level Vertical Rack PDU
Overview
The VP6U60A0 is a 0U vertical rack PDU from Vertiv's PowerIT HD line, designed for high-density data center and server room deployments where per-outlet power visibility matters. It handles 60/63A at 240V (14.4kW capacity), making it a fit for dense compute rows pulling sustained loads that would saturate a standard 30A unit. The hot-swappable IMD-5M monitoring device means you can swap the monitoring head without dropping load — useful during scheduled maintenance windows on 24/7 infrastructure. Dual Gigabit Ethernet ports support redundant network paths to your DCIM or BMS platform, and a serial interface is available for out-of-band access when the network path is unavailable. Input is via a 1P+N+E IP44 plug; confirm your rack's whip or floor power circuit matches this connector before ordering. TAA compliance makes this eligible for U.S. federal procurement.
Compatibility
The VP6U60A0 integrates with Vertiv's Vertiv power management ecosystem, including Vertiv Avocent and Liebert infrastructure management platforms that support SNMP, Modbus, and RESTful API monitoring. The 36 combination C13/C19 outlets accommodate standard IEC 60320 server and network equipment power cords — C14 and C20 plug equipment both land without adapters. It mounts vertically in standard rack PDU zero-U channels on two-post or four-post racks. For facilities running mixed 1U/2U servers alongside high-draw GPU nodes drawing C19, the combination outlet layout avoids the dead-outlet waste common on C13-only strips. Review your rack's power planning — 60A circuits require appropriately rated breakers and cabling upstream; pairing with a compatible UPS sized for 14.4kW continuous is recommended.
Installation Notes
Mount vertically in the zero-U space of a compatible rack enclosure using the integrated mounting brackets. Input connector is a 1P+N+E IP44 — confirm panel circuit rating is 60A or 63A minimum. The IMD-5M monitoring module is hot-swappable: replacement does not require load shutdown. Dual GbE ports should be connected to separate network switches for monitoring redundancy. Serial port access requires a console cable (not included). Unit weighs 19 lbs; two-person lift recommended for overhead vertical installation in tall rack enclosures.
