Vertiv VP5U60A3 Switched Descriptor
Overview
The Vertiv VP5U60A3 is a 60/63A, 240/415V WYE switched rack PDU designed for critical IT infrastructure. It provides remote power monitoring and outlet-level switching capabilities, essential for managing power distribution in dense server environments and ensuring uptime. This 0U vertical unit mounts directly into standard server racks, optimizing space utilization and airflow. The VP5U60A3 facilitates granular power control and monitoring for up to 24 combination C13/C19 outlets, supporting high-density power requirements up to 43.4kW.
Compatibility
This rack PDU is compatible with standard 19-inch server racks and is designed for use within data center and enterprise IT environments. It connects via a 3P+N+E (IP44) plug, suitable for high-amperage circuits. The unit's dual gigabit Ethernet ports ensure robust network connectivity for remote management and monitoring. It supports daisy-chaining up to 50 devices for centralized management.
Installation Notes
The VP5U60A3 requires vertical mounting within a server rack. Ensure adequate clearance for the 3P+N+E plug and associated power cabling. The unit features P-Lock compatible outlets, requiring specific P-Lock power cords (sold separately) for secure connections. The hot-swappable IMD-5M monitoring device allows for replacement without powering down the PDU. Operating temperature range is not specified in the provided evidence, but typical for rack PDUs is around 0-45°C.
