1U 20A Switched Rack PDU
The Vertiv VP52100 is a 1U horizontal power distribution unit rated for 20A at 120V. It provides twelve NEMA 5-20R outlets fed by a NEMA L5-20P input plug. The unit delivers 1.9kW of power capacity for rack-mounted equipment. It suits administrators who need outlet-level control in a single rack space.
Monitoring and switching limits
Input power monitoring tracks total load on the 20A circuit to prevent overloads. Outlet-level switching lets operators cycle power on individual receptacles remotely. Dual Ethernet ports support IP aggregation for network management. An environmental sensor port is available for optional temperature or humidity probes.
Replaces basic rack strips
This unit upgrades from unmonitored power strips that lack remote reboot capability. The jump is worth it when unresponsive gear requires a hard power cycle without a site visit. It is not suited for installations needing higher than 20A service or voltages other than 120V. Builds requiring IEC outlets instead of NEMA 5-20R must choose a different model.

Questions about this item
Which switched PDU model should I choose for a 120 V, 20 A rack circuit?
The VP52100 is a 1U horizontal unit rated 20 A at 120 V with twelve NEMA 5-20R outlets and a NEMA L5-20P plug, delivering 1.9 kW capacity.
What does the 1.9 kW rating mean for my installed equipment?
It is the maximum continuous load the PDU can supply across all twelve outlets combined; total connected gear must not exceed that figure.
How does the NEMA L5-20P input and dual Ethernet ports affect deployment?
The locking L5-20P plug secures the 20 A 120 V feed, while dual Ethernet ports allow IP aggregation for out-of-band management and environmental sensor integration.
