Vertiv Geist VP7U21A0 Switched Outlet Level Monitoring Horizontal PDU
The Vertiv Geist VP7U21A0 is a professional-grade 1U horizontal rack power distribution unit designed for enterprise data centres, server rooms, and edge IT environments. With switched outlet-level monitoring and control, this intelligent rPDU delivers precise power management for critical IT equipment, supporting 16A or 20A input at 100-240V and delivering up to 3.6kW of load capacity.
Key Features
-
12 Combination C13/C19 Outlets: Universal IEC outlets accept both C14 and C20 plugs for maximum flexibility
-
Individual Outlet Switching: Remotely turn off receptacles to avoid overloads and power cycle unresponsive equipment
-
Input and Outlet-Level Monitoring: Track kWh, W, VA, power factor, voltage, and amperage in real-time
-
Next Generation IMD with Touchscreen: 128×128 high-visibility LCD for at-the-rack power data and provisioning
-
Network-Ready: Dual RJ-45 Ethernet ports with support for SNMP, HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, IPv4/IPv6, LDAP, and more
-
Environmental Monitoring: Optional sensor support via RJ port for temperature, humidity, and door position (up to 16 sensors)
Intelligent Power Management for Mission-Critical IT
The VP7U21A0 allows you to remotely manage and monitor power consumption at both input and individual outlet levels. This advanced rPDU features sequential power-up with programmable delays, helping you avoid circuit overloads during rack boot sequences. The integrated touchscreen interface enables quick provisioning without network access, while the redundant power-sharing port connects two IMDs in the rack for backup power in case of power loss.
Enterprise-Grade Security and Reliability
Built with enhanced security features including secure boot, the VP7U21A0 protects your data and operations from unauthorized access. The unit is Dual Listed (UL/CE) and individually tested for functionality and reliability. TAA-compliant construction meets stringent government and enterprise procurement requirements. The upgradeable design allows seamless monitoring device upgrades to future-proof your investment.
Flexible Power Configuration
With support for 16A or 20A input current at 100-240V (50/60Hz), this PDU adapts to multiple power environments worldwide. The IEC 60320 C20 inlet accepts standard data centre power cords (sold separately). Depending on voltage, the VP7U21A0 delivers between 1.9kW and 3.6kW of total power capacity, making it ideal for high-density rack configurations.
Universal Connectivity and Monitoring
-
Dual RJ-45 Network Ports: Primary and secondary Ethernet for redundant network connectivity
-
Environmental Sensor Port: Connect up to 16 optional environmental sensors for comprehensive rack monitoring
-
Redundant Power-Sharing Port: Connects two IMDs for backup power protection
-
Supported Protocols: DHCP, HTTP, HTTPS, IPv4, IPv6, LDAP, NTP, RADIUS, RSTP, SSH, SMTP, SNMP (v1/v2c/v3), Syslog, Telnet
