This rack PDU is designed for standard 19-inch server racks. It is compatible with IT equipment requiring NEMA 5-20R receptacles. The unit operates within a 120V infrastructure and is suitable for use with most standard network switches, servers, and other rack-mounted devices that draw up to 1.9kW total capacity. It is intended for use in environments where individual outlet control is beneficial for IT asset management and troubleshooting.

Installation Notes

The VP5U20A1 occupies 1U of vertical rack space. It requires a 120V electrical feed capable of supporting up to 16A or 20A, depending on the specific configuration. The operating temperature range is up to 60°C (140°F), suitable for most standard data center ambient conditions. Ensure proper airflow around the unit for optimal thermal performance.
