Vertiv VP4N60AG 0U Vertical Monitored Rack PDU
Overview
The VP4N60AG is a 0U vertical rack power distribution unit from the Vertiv PowerIT series built for high-density data center cabinets running three-phase 208V Delta feeds. At 60A input and 17.2kW capacity, it handles fully loaded compute-dense cabinets where lower-amperage units fall short. The 30 IEC C13 receptacles serve 1U servers, storage nodes, and networking gear simultaneously. Unit-level input power monitoring with ±1% accuracy means you get credible real-time load data — not approximations — making capacity planning and alerting actionable rather than guesswork. The 128x128 LCD touchscreen with auto-orient display (IMD-5M) reads correctly regardless of PDU orientation, a practical detail when cabinet access is awkward. An environmental sensor port extends monitoring to temperature and humidity without a separate device.
Compatibility
Designed for standard 0U vertical mounting in 2-post and 4-post open-frame racks and enclosed cabinets that accept vertical PDU installations. The 3P+E IP44 plug is the input connector — confirm your cabinet's whip or inlet matches before ordering. Dual Ethernet ports support daisy-chaining multiple VP4N60AG units under a single IP address, reducing switch port consumption in large cabinet deployments. The hot-swappable monitoring device (redundant power-sharing port) allows firmware updates and monitoring module replacements without dropping PDU output — relevant in environments that prohibit maintenance windows. Compatible with SNMP-based infrastructure management platforms and environmental monitoring ecosystems that accept standard sensor inputs. TAA compliance satisfies federal procurement requirements; RoHS and UL/c-UL listing (60950) meet standard data center facility codes.
Installation Notes
The 0U vertical form factor mounts in the cabinet's side channel — verify your cabinet has vertical PDU mounting brackets or rails rated for this unit's weight before installation. Input is a 3P+E IP44 plug; the facility circuit must terminate in a compatible receptacle or hardwired connection at 208V Delta, 60A. Operating temperature rating of 60°C High Temperature Grade provides headroom in hot-aisle/cold-aisle containment setups where ambient PDU temps can spike. Secure Boot is supported on the monitoring module — factor firmware provisioning into your commissioning checklist when deploying under a managed network infrastructure.
