Vertiv Geist VP4G20AE power distribution unit (PDU) 42 AC outlet(s) 0U Black

Vertiv VP4G20AE is a monitored vertical 0U three-phase power distribution unit (PDU) designed for rack power distribution and remote power management. The unit provides a mix of IEC C13 and IEC C19 outlets—36 C13 and 6 C19—for a total of 42 AC outlets, and connects via a 3 m IEC 60309 input cable (3P+N+E, IP44). It supports nominal input voltages of 200–240/346–415 V at 50–60 Hz and up to 16 A per input, delivering an available power capacity suitable for three-phase rack environments. Integrated monitoring reports current, power and voltage values and exposes network access through protocols such as SNMP, HTTP/S, SSH and NTP. The device includes a high-visibility 128x128 touchscreen LCD for on-unit display of power data and an internal orientation-aware sensor for correct display layout in horizontal or vertical installations. Certifications include IEC 62368-1, CE and UKCA and regional EMC marks.

Advantages

The monitored design provides per-input and overall power metrics to help assess energy usage and identify abnormal conditions without additional external metering. A compact 0U vertical form factor saves rack U space while offering a high density of outlets for mixed C13 and C19 connectivity. Built-in network protocols and a touchscreen display enable local and remote access to real-time power data. The unit’s secure-boot capability and industry safety certifications support secure and standards-compliant deployment in data center and network racks.

Suitable for

• Rack power distribution in data centers and server rooms
• Environments requiring mixed IEC C13 and C19 outlet connectivity
• Remote monitoring and management of rack-level power consumption

How to use

Install the Vertiv VP4G20AE vertically along the rack rail using the manufacturer’s mounting hardware so the unit occupies no U space. Connect the IEC 60309 input cable to an appropriate three-phase supply configured to the supported nominal voltage and ensure the installation follows local electrical codes. Plug rack equipment into the C13 and C19 outlets as required, observing load distribution across phases. Access local power metrics on the built-in touchscreen or configure network access via SNMP, HTTP/S or SSH to collect measurements and integrate with remote monitoring systems. Use NTP to ensure correct time-stamping of recorded data.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, balance loads across phases to avoid overloading any single phase, verify input supply and breaker ratings before connection, and secure network access with appropriate credentials and network controls. Periodically review monitored metrics to detect trends, and follow Vertiv installation instructions and local electrical regulations during setup.
