1U rack PDU for edge deployments

The Vertiv VP9563 is a 1U horizontal rackmount power distribution unit rated for 20A at 120V. It provides ten NEMA 5-20R outlets fed by a single NEMA 5-20P input plug. The unit delivers 1.9 kW of power capacity in a compact 1.7 inch height.

Suited for dense 120V racks, not metered needs

This basic PDU fits administrators who need reliable outlet multiplication in tight edge or small IT spaces without remote monitoring. Buyers requiring per-outlet switching, input metering or environmental sensors should look at managed PDU models instead.

Tested for continuous 20A operation

Every unit undergoes individual 100% functional and reliability testing before shipment rather than batch sampling. UL and c-UL 60950 listing plus RoHS compliance confirm sustained performance under full rated load in North American environments.

Questions about this item

My rack only has a 15 A circuit — will the 20 A NEMA 5-20P plug on this PDU still fit?

No, the 5-20P plug has a horizontal blade that requires a matching 20 A receptacle; a 15 A 5-15R outlet will not accept it.

I plan to keep some older servers with standard 5-15P cords — can I plug them into the 5-20R outlets on this unit?

Yes, each 5-20R receptacle accepts both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs, so legacy 15 A cords fit without adapters.

After mounting the 1U PDU, how can I confirm the 1.9 kW capacity is actually available to my equipment?

The UL 60950 listing and 100 % individual factory test verify the 120 V, 20 A rating; measure input current with a clamp meter under load to confirm real-time draw.
