Product Overview

Compact and Secure Power Distribution for IT Racks

The Vertiv Geist C1648L PDU, manufacturer part number 14240245, is a basic horizontal rack PDU designed to distribute dependable AC power to servers, switches, storage systems and network equipment.

It accepts a 32A single-phase input and provides up to 7.3kW of load capacity at 230V. Its eight-outlet configuration includes four U-Lock IEC C13 receptacles and four U-Lock IEC C19 receptacles.

Vertiv Geist U-Lock technology helps secure compatible equipment power cords and reduces the risk of accidental disconnection. Orange and green outlet groups also make it easier to identify the two protected electrical circuits.

The compact 1U horizontal chassis installs inside standard racks and cabinets using adjustable mounting brackets. This configuration is suitable for racks where horizontal power distribution is preferred over a full-height vertical PDU.

Two 16A single-pole magnetic breakers provide overcurrent protection. The unit also includes a three-metre power cable with an IEC 60309 2P+E, 32A, 250V IP44 industrial plug.
