Overview
The Vertiv VP5N31A4 is a 30A, 208V switched rack power distribution unit (PDU) designed for data center and IT environments. It provides granular control over individual outlets, enabling remote power cycling and monitoring to improve uptime and manage energy consumption.

The VP5N31A4 is engineered for reliable power delivery and remote management of connected IT equipment.
Compatibility
This PDU is designed for use in standard 19-inch server racks. It accepts 208V input and provides 208V output. The 12 combination C13/C19 outlets accommodate a wide range of IT equipment power cords. It operates on a 50/60Hz frequency. Ensure your facility's power infrastructure can support a 30A, 208V WYE service to utilize its full 17.2kW capacity (note: evidence states 4.9kW storage, but 17.2kW is listed in the product name, indicating a potential discrepancy or different metric; verify with manufacturer documentation for precise load limits). The operating temperature range is up to 60°C.
Installation Notes
The unit mounts horizontally in a standard 19-inch rack, requiring minimal rack space (1.72 inches high). Ensure adequate airflow around the PDU and connected equipment, especially given the 60°C operating temperature rating. Connect the PDU to a suitable 208V power source that can supply 30A. The combination outlets offer flexibility for various power cables.
