Vertiv VP4U62A0 60/63A 240V 2U Monitored Rack PDU
Overview
The VP4U62A0 is a 2U horizontal rack PDU from the Vertiv PowerIT Monitored rPDU series — built for high-density compute and networking environments that require real-time input power monitoring without dedicated PDU management hardware. At 60/63A and 240V with a 14.4kW capacity, it handles fully loaded edge or colocation racks where branch-circuit-level visibility matters. The unit ships with 24 combination C13/C19 outlets, a 1P+N+E (IP44) plug, dual gigabit ethernet, and a hot-swappable IMD-5M intelligent monitoring device — meaning firmware updates and IMD replacements happen without cutting power to the rack. The upgradeable platform design lets you move from basic monitoring to higher-tier management functions as your infrastructure requirements evolve.
Compatibility
The VP4U62A0 mounts into any standard 19-inch rack with 2U vertical space available in horizontal orientation. The combination C13/C19 outlet format accommodates IEC 60320-standard server PSUs, storage array power inputs, and networking gear across most enterprise hardware lines — including high-draw C19 loads up to 16A per outlet and lower-draw C13 device mixes on the same PDU. The dual gigabit ethernet ports integrate with common DCIM and BMS platforms; serial communication provides a fallback management path. P-Lock compatible outlets retain standard IEC power cords under vibration or movement, useful in mobile or frequently serviced racks. TAA compliance makes this unit eligible for US federal and government procurement programs. The power distribution category includes additional Vertiv rPDU configurations for different amperage and outlet-count requirements.
Installation Notes
Input connection uses a 1P+N+E (IP44) plug — confirm your facility's whip or receptacle matches before ordering; this is a hardwired or plug-in 240V single-phase circuit, not a standard NEMA 5-15/20 configuration. Horizontal 2U mounting requires rack rails compatible with a 17.12 x 12 x 3.48-inch chassis weighing 19 lb. Dual gigabit ethernet enables redundant network paths to your network switches or out-of-band management network — plan IP allocation and VLAN segmentation before commissioning. High-retention color-coded outlets reduce mis-wiring risk during dense cable management. Environmental monitoring probes can be added post-installation via the IMD-5M interface without powering down the unit.
