Vertiv VP6UA0A0 Monitored Outlet Level Vertical Rack PDU
Overview
The VP6UA0A0 is Vertiv's PowerIT HD upgradeable vertical rack PDU built for high-density data center cabinets where per-outlet power visibility matters. Rated at 80A with a hardwired 240/415V WYE input, it delivers up to 57.6kW across 36 combination C13/C19 outlets — enough capacity to service a fully loaded cabinet of 1U/2U servers and high-draw blade chassis simultaneously. Outlet-level monitoring means you can track consumption at the individual device level, not just at the input, which is critical when you're troubleshooting load imbalances or enforcing per-tenant billing in multi-tenant environments. Remote access via dual gigabit Ethernet or serial lets operators power-cycle individual outlets without physical access — a meaningful operational advantage in locked cages or remote sites.
Compatibility
The VP6UA0A0 is a rack power distribution unit designed for standard 19-inch and 23-inch 0U vertical mounting positions in open-frame and enclosed cabinets. Its 36 combination C13/C19 outlets accommodate standard IEC C14 and C20 server power supplies without adapters — compatible with the majority of rack-mount servers, network switches, KVM systems, and storage arrays using IEC power inlets. The hardwired input requires a dedicated 80A 3-phase 240/415V WYE branch circuit, so confirm your UPS or PDU input panel supports this feed before ordering. The hot-swappable IMD-5M monitoring module means monitoring hardware can be replaced or upgraded without powering down connected equipment — relevant for facilities running continuous uptime SLAs. P-Lock high-retention outlets accept P-Lock locking power cables to prevent accidental disconnection under vibration or cable management load.
Installation Notes
The VP6UA0A0 installs vertically in the 0U space of a standard cabinet — no rack units consumed. At 3.8" W x 3" D and 22 lbs, verify your cabinet's 0U channel depth clears the unit before mounting. Input is hardwired (no plug), so a licensed electrician must terminate the feed at a 3-phase 240/415V WYE 80A panel. Dual gigabit Ethernet ports support redundant network connections for management continuity — wire both to separate switches if uptime is a requirement. Serial connectivity provides out-of-band fallback if the network interface is unreachable. Meets UL, RoHS, China RoHS, and TAA compliance standards — suitable for U.S. federal procurement environments.
