Vertiv Geist VP9563 Rack PDU

The Vertiv Geist VP9563 is a basic 1U horizontal rack power distribution unit rated at 20A and 120V. It delivers 1.9 kW of power capacity through ten NEMA 5-20R outlets fed by a single NEMA 5-20P plug. This unit suits network closets and edge sites needing dense outlet count in minimal rack space. Each PDU is individually tested and UL-listed before shipment.

Installation checks for VP9563

Verify that your rack provides a free 1U horizontal slot and that the facility circuit can supply 20A at 120V with a NEMA 5-20R receptacle for the input plug. Confirm the ten NEMA 5-20R outlets match the plug types on your servers and network gear. Ensure the 1.9 kW total capacity covers the combined load of all connected devices without exceeding the 20A branch-circuit rating.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a passive distribution unit the VP9563 generates no audible fan noise and adds negligible heat beyond the current passing through its bus bars. Power draw is determined entirely by the attached equipment up to the 20A limit. The basic design has no active cooling or metering circuitry so thermal load scales linearly with utilisation. No additional airflow or power budget is required for the PDU itself.

Questions about this item

Does the VP9563 include mounting brackets or a power cord, or must I buy them separately?

The unit ships with a fixed NEMA 5-20P cord and built-in 1U horizontal mounting ears, so no extra brackets or cords are required for standard rack installation.

The listing shows only the 10-outlet 5-20R version — are there other outlet counts or receptacle types under the same 9563 model?

The VP9563 is a single configuration with ten NEMA 5-20R receptacles; other outlet counts or receptacle types carry different part numbers.

What does the 1.9 kW rating mean for the equipment I can plug into the ten 5-20R outlets?

At 120 V the 20 A input limits total connected load to 1.9 kW, so the combined draw of all plugged-in devices must stay below that figure.
