Vertiv VP6U60A2 Rack PDU

Overview

The Vertiv PowerIT VP6U60A2 is a 0U vertical rack power distribution unit (rPDU) designed for high-density data center environments requiring granular power monitoring and control. This unit supports 60/63A at 240/415V WYE, offering a substantial 43.4kW capacity. Its primary function is to distribute power efficiently to IT equipment within a rack while providing real-time insights into power consumption at both the input and individual outlet levels. The VP6U60A2 is ideal for deployments where precise power management, load balancing, and capacity planning are critical, such as in colocation facilities, enterprise data centers, or edge computing deployments.

Compatibility

This rPDU is designed for integration into standard 19-inch server racks. It is compatible with IT equipment requiring 240/415V WYE power distribution. The unit features 36 Combination C13/C19 outlets, accommodating a wide range of power cords. It utilizes a 3P+N+E (IP44) plug, ensuring secure and reliable power input. The P-Lock cable compatibility feature is designed to work with P-Lock power cords, preventing accidental disconnections.

Installation Notes

The VP6U60A2 mounts vertically in a 0U space within a standard 19-inch rack, optimizing rack real estate. It requires a 60/63A, 240/415V WYE power source connection via its 3P+N+E (IP44) plug. The unit features dual gigabit Ethernet ports and a serial port for network connectivity and remote management. Its hot-swappable IMD-5M (Intelligent Module for Monitoring) allows for module replacement without powering down the rPDU, minimizing downtime during maintenance or upgrades.
