Vertiv CPQ-1029798-02 U-Lock Outlet Security Cover Kit

Overview

The Vertiv CPQ-1029798-02 is a black outlet locking cover kit designed to prevent accidental or unauthorized disconnection of power cords in data center and critical infrastructure environments. The kit addresses a specific operational risk: in high-density rack deployments, vibration, cable congestion, or inadvertent contact can unseat IEC or NEMA connections — a cord pull on a live server or network appliance is a hard-down event. These U-lock covers physically capture the cord connector at the outlet, eliminating that failure mode without requiring a full PDU replacement. The CPQ-1029798-02 kit covers three outlet types in a single package: IEC C19, IEC C13, and NEMA 5-20R receptacles.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Vertiv VP4N20A1-W series PDUs. The kit targets outlets configured with IEC C19 high-amperage receptacles (typically used for servers, UPS bypass, and high-draw appliances), IEC C13 standard receptacles (switches, storage, 1U devices), and NEMA 5-20R 20-amp receptacles. Verify your PDU's outlet mix against these three types before ordering — PDU models with different outlet configurations (e.g., IEC C20 inlets or NEMA L6-20R twist-lock outlets) are not covered by this kit.

Installation Notes

U-lock covers snap or slide over the outlet collar and engage the cord connector body — no tools required for most installations. Confirm cord retention before closing the rack door; the lock should not be forced over a connector that is not fully seated. Black finish matches standard Vertiv rack PDU colorways. Install with the PDU de-energized where rack safety procedures require it.
