Vertiv VP4N60AK Monitored Vertical PDU, 60A 277/480V WYE, 24-Outlet
Overview
The VP4N60AK is a unit-level monitored, vertical rack PDU rated for 60A at 277/480V WYE (39.8kW) — designed for high-density three-phase data center deployments where per-outlet power visibility matters. At 70 inches long and vertically mounted, it runs the full height of a standard cabinet, keeping power distribution at the rack perimeter without consuming valuable 1U shelf space. This is a high-voltage distribution device intended for dedicated data center power infrastructure, not standard office or 120V environments. If you're deploying data center PDUs in a high-density compute row, this unit's capacity handles the load where lower-voltage alternatives fall short.
Compatibility
The VP4N60AK is built around Saf-D-Grid technology — its 24 outlets are Saf-D-Grid Series 400 connectors, which require compatible Saf-D-Grid Series 400 plugs and whips. Standard NEMA or IEC C19/C20 devices will not connect without appropriate Saf-D-Grid adapter cords. This unit is part of the broader Vertiv power distribution lineup and is designed for integration within Vertiv cabinet ecosystems (such as VR and VE series racks) that support vertical PDU mounting rails, though third-party cabinets with compatible 0U mounting channels are also applicable. Confirm your cabinet's vertical PDU channel dimensions and whip/cord compatibility before ordering. For row-level power capacity planning, pair with upstream 3-phase 60A circuit breakers and appropriate 277/480V branch wiring — this is not a 208V unit.
Installation Notes
Input is a single 277/480V WYE feed at 60A — at 80% NEC continuous-load derate, usable sustained draw is 48A (38.4kW). Vertical form factor measures 2.6 in × 2.1 in × 70 in and weighs 31 lbs; confirm cabinet vertical PDU channel clearance before installation. Unit-level monitoring requires network connection to the integrated controller — allow for patch cable routing within the cabinet. All 24 Saf-D-Grid outlets deliver 277V output; verify that connected equipment accepts 277V input before commissioning.
