Maintenance bypass PDU

The Vertiv MP2-120C is a switched power distribution unit that provides a maintenance bypass for compatible UPS systems. It routes utility power directly to connected equipment while the UPS is serviced or replaced, preventing interruption to critical loads. The unit supports single-phase 120 V AC input and output with a maximum current of 16 A. Three NEMA 5-20P input plugs and eight NEMA 5-20R output receptacles handle the power connections.

Rack or wall-mount installations

This PDU suits environments where a UPS up to 3 kVA must remain online during maintenance, such as server rooms, network closets or edge sites. It ships with brackets for 19-inch rack, floor or wall mounting, measuring 3.5 inches high, 17.0 inches wide and 3.5 inches deep. Sites that do not require maintenance bypass switching, or that operate on voltages other than 120 V AC, should consider a different power distribution approach.

Three NEMA 5-20P input plugs

The defining specification is the trio of NEMA 5-20P input connectors, which must match the UPS or facility receptacles available on site. If the installation provides only a single input connection or uses a different plug type, this unit will not integrate without additional adapters or rewiring. The 10-foot cord length and 16 A rating are fixed by this input configuration.

Questions about this item

How much heat or fan noise does the MP2-120C add when it runs continuously in a 19-inch rack?

The MP2-120C is a passive maintenance-bypass switch with no fans or active cooling, so it produces no audible noise and adds negligible heat beyond the normal warm-up of its 16 A busbars and eight NEMA 5-20R outlets.

What UPS inlet and outlet plugs must already be on site for the MP2-120C to connect without adapters?

The unit requires three NEMA 5-20P input cords from the utility or UPS sources and provides eight NEMA 5-20R receptacles for the attached loads, all rated 120 V AC, 16 A maximum.

Will the MP2-120C work with the older Liebert GXT2 3 kVA UPS we still run?

Yes — the MP2-120C is designed for Vertiv Liebert PSI and GXT series UPS units up to 3 kVA, so a GXT2 3 kVA fits the supported range and can be bypassed for maintenance without cutting power to the eight 5-20R outlets.
