Vertiv Rpdu Outlet Level Monitoring 60/63A 240/415V WYE 43.4KW Horizontal (24) CO - VP6U62A2

Vertiv VP6U62A2 3-Phase Outlet-Level Monitored Rack PDU

Overview

The Vertiv VP6U62A2 is a 2U horizontal rack PDU built for high-density three-phase environments where per-outlet power visibility is not optional — data centers, colocation deployments, and enterprise compute rows where a single overloaded branch circuit can take down mission-critical workloads. Rated at 63A input with a 43.4kW maximum power capacity across a 240–415V WYE configuration, the VP6U62A2 provides the headroom to feed dense blade chassis, high-draw GPU servers, and storage arrays without daisy-chaining PDUs or compromising branch circuit safety margins.

Twenty-four outlets — a mix of C13 and C19 couplers — cover the full range of IEC-standard server and networking hardware. Outlet-level monitoring means you get per-port current and power data, not just aggregate input figures, so capacity planning and fault isolation are grounded in real load data rather than guesswork. The 3.048m cable gives enough cord length to route cleanly from a rear-mounted PDU to overhead bus duct or floor-level whips without tight bends.

Key Features

• 43.4kW at 63A / 240–415V WYE input: enough raw capacity for a fully populated 42U cabinet of high-density compute — a single VP6U62A2 can handle a cabinet that would overwhelm two smaller single-phase units. The WYE configuration balances load across three phases, reducing neutral current and simplifying electrical panel planning.
• Outlet-level monitoring across 24 ports: per-outlet current visibility lets you catch overloaded circuits before breakers trip. In colo environments where tenants share physical infrastructure, per-port metering also enables accurate billback without secondary metering hardware.
• Mixed C13 / C19 outlet complement: C19 handles the heavy hitters — high-draw servers, UPS bypass loads, and large storage controllers. C13 covers standard 1U servers, switches, and networking gear. Not having to carry adapter cords into the rack saves installation time and eliminates a common point of failure.
• SNMP v1/v2c/v3 plus HTTPS, SSH, RADIUS, TACACS+, and LDAP management: full enterprise authentication and encrypted management protocols mean this PDU integrates cleanly into existing NOC workflows. SNMPv3 with authentication and encryption keeps PDU management traffic off the list of audit findings. RADIUS and TACACS+ support centralizes credential management — no per-PDU local accounts to rotate.
• IPv4 and IPv6 dual-stack with DHCP, NTP, SMTP, Syslog, and RSTP: the management stack speaks the protocols your network team already uses. Syslog and SMTP alerting pipe outlet events directly into your SIEM or ticketing system without polling. RSTP prevents management network loops when PDUs share uplinks.
• Over-current protection: onboard overcurrent protection guards individual outlet groups, reducing the blast radius of a fault. Combined with outlet-level monitoring, you get both detection and protection in the same unit — relevant in colo deployments where tenant equipment quality is variable.
• 2U horizontal form factor with 3.048m cord: horizontal mounting keeps PDU weight distributed across the rack and simplifies cable management compared to vertical zero-U units. The 10-foot cord length accommodates most raised-floor and overhead busway topologies without extension cords.
• TAA and RoHS compliant, UL Listed, CE and UKCA marked: TAA compliance makes the VP6U62A2 eligible for US federal and government-adjacent procurement. UL Listing and CE/UKCA markings cover North American and European deployments under a single SKU. China RoHS compliance extends eligibility to APAC-region installations.

Integration & Compatibility

The VP6U62A2 management interface supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3, enabling integration with standard data center infrastructure management (DCIM) platforms, network management systems, and monitoring stacks that consume SNMP traps and polling. HTTP and HTTPS interfaces provide REST-accessible management for scripted provisioning and integration with custom dashboards. The serial port (RJ-45 or DB-9 depending on infrastructure) supports out-of-band management when network connectivity is unavailable — critical for remote hands procedures in unmanned facilities.

USB connectivity supports firmware updates and configuration management without network dependency. The unit's support for LDAP, RADIUS, and TACACS+ means user authentication can be federated to Active Directory, FreeRADIUS, or Cisco ACS/ISE deployments, eliminating local account sprawl across large PDU fleets. For power distribution and UPS infrastructure planning, pairing the VP6U62A2 with upstream three-phase UPS systems sized for the 63A input draw is the standard architecture — the PDU does not include internal battery backup.

The Type E/Type F power plug suits European and international facility wiring standards. Organizations deploying Vertiv power infrastructure at scale will find the VP6U62A2's management protocol stack consistent with Vertiv's broader DCIM and monitoring ecosystem. For rack-level planning in high-density environments, review rack accessories and cable management to ensure horizontal cable routing from a 2U PDU doesn't obstruct airflow in dense configurations. Facilities sourcing network switches for dedicated PDU management VLANs should account for the VP6U62A2's dual-stack IPv4/IPv6 management port in switch port planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the Vertiv VP6U62A2 TAA compliant for US federal procurement?

A: Yes. The VP6U62A2 carries Trade Agreements Act (TAA) compliance, making it eligible for US federal agency and government-adjacent procurement under applicable acquisition regulations.
