Vertiv VP5N20A0 Switched Unit Level Monitoring PDU
Overview
The Vertiv VP5N20A0 is a vertical, switched rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed for data center environments requiring granular control and monitoring of power at the unit level. This 20A, 120/208V WYE unit provides 5.7KW of power capacity and allows for remote on/off switching of individual outlets, enabling power cycling for troubleshooting or load shedding. Its vertical form factor is optimized for standard 19-inch racks, maximizing space efficiency.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for integration into standard data center power infrastructure. It is compatible with 120/208V WYE power systems. While not specific to any single server or network device manufacturer, it serves as a power backend for rack-mounted IT equipment, including servers, switches, and storage arrays from vendors such as Dell, HPE, Cisco, and others, provided the input voltage and amperage requirements are met.
Installation Notes
The VP5N20A0 requires a 20A, 120/208V WYE circuit. Its vertical mounting orientation is suitable for standard server racks. Ensure adequate clearance around the unit for airflow and access to the switched outlets. The unit's weight is 18.00 lbs, requiring secure mounting within the rack.
