Reliable Power Distribution for Mission-Critical Equipment
The Vertiv Geist F0144849 Basic PDU is the entry-level solution in the Vertiv Geist Rack PDU family, ideal for organizations seeking cost-effective, reliable power distribution without monitoring capabilities. Perfect for edge computing deployments, colocation facilities, enterprise server rooms, and network closets, this PDU provides the essential power distribution needed to keep critical IT infrastructure running.
Combination C13/C19 Outlet Flexibility
The combination outlet design is a game-changer for data centre managers. Each of the 12 outlets accepts both standard C14 plugs (commonly used on servers and networking equipment) and higher-power C20 plugs (used on more power-hungry devices). This eliminates the need to plan exact outlet configurations in advance and provides flexibility as equipment changes over time.
U-Lock Technology for Maximum Uptime
Vertiv's unique U-Lock structure automatically locks power cords in place when inserted, requiring no additional action. To disconnect, simply press the U-Lock bezel on opposite sides of the outlet to release the lock. This simple but effective design prevents accidental power loss from bumped cables, maintenance activities, or vibration, helping you maintain maximum uptime for critical systems.
Simple Installation
The F0144849 supports horizontal mounting in 1U of rack space with included mounting brackets that can be installed on the front or rear of the unit. The PDU mounts securely to standard 19-inch rails with M6 floating nuts and screws.
