Product Overview

High-Density Power Distribution with Remote Outlet Control

The Vertiv Geist VP5U60A1 PDU is an upgradeable switched unit-level monitored rack PDU designed for servers, storage systems, network equipment and other critical data centre infrastructure.

Its three-phase 240/415V WYE configuration provides up to 43.4kW of power capacity through a 3P+N+E IP44 input connector. The vertical 0U design distributes power without occupying usable rack-unit space.

The unit includes 48 combination C13/C19 receptacles that accept both C14 and C20 equipment plugs. High-retention, colour-coded outlets simplify phase and circuit identification while supporting mixed rack equipment.

Input-level and breaker-level monitoring provide visibility into rack power consumption. Individual outlet switching allows administrators to remotely turn outlets on or off, reboot unresponsive devices and configure sequential power-up delays.

The hot-swappable IMD-5M monitoring module includes dual Gigabit Ethernet, serial communication, USB connectivity and support for optional environmental sensors. This provides flexible integration with enterprise data centre monitoring and management systems.

Key Advantages

Designed for Power Control, Visibility and Availability

The VP5U60A1 combines high-capacity three-phase distribution, remote outlet switching and upgradeable monitoring for demanding data centre racks.

Individual Outlet Switching

Remotely turn individual receptacles on or off and power-cycle unresponsive servers, switches and other critical equipment.

48 Combination Outlets

Combination C13/C19 receptacles accept both C14 and C20 plugs, providing flexibility for mixed equipment within the rack.

Input and Phase Monitoring

Measures energy, real power, apparent power, power factor, voltage and current across the total unit and individual phases.

Hot-Swappable IMD-5M

The interchangeable monitoring device can be replaced or upgraded without replacing the complete rack PDU or scheduling prolonged downtime.

Dual Gigabit Ethernet

Supports fault-tolerant daisy chaining, IP aggregation and simplified management of multiple intelligent rack PDUs.

Space-Saving 0U Design

Vertical rack installation preserves valuable rack units while delivering high-density power distribution to installed IT equipment.
