Switched Rack PDU with Outlet Control
The Vertiv VP5N31A1 is a 1U horizontal rack power distribution unit rated for 30 A at 208 V, delivering 4.9 kW through twelve combination C13/C19 receptacles. A NEMA L6-30P plug on a 10-foot cord connects the unit to the upstream supply. Outlet-level switching lets administrators remotely power-cycle individual devices or shed load to prevent accidental overloads.
LCD Touch Display and Redundant Management
A 128x128 high-visibility LCD touch screen shows real-time power data and adjusts its orientation automatically for horizontal or vertical mounting. The integrated management module includes a redundant power-sharing port that links two modules in the same rack, keeping monitoring alive if one loses input power. Secure boot and TAA compliance address supply-chain and firmware integrity requirements.
Suited for Managed Racks Needing Outlet Switching
This unit fits environments that require remote reboot capability and per-outlet state control on a single 30 A circuit. It is not intended for deployments that need only basic metering without switching, nor for racks fed from lower-amperage or different-voltage circuits that do not match the 30 A 208 V rating.

Questions about this item
What rack space and receptacle mix does the VP5N31A1 need to fit?
It occupies 1U of horizontal rack space and provides 12 combination C13/C19 receptacles for mixed IEC device connections.
How is the VP5N31A1 installed and which step is often missed?
Mount the 1U unit horizontally or vertically in the rack, connect the 10 ft cord to a NEMA L6-30P source, then link the redundant power-sharing port between two IMDs for backup power — this port is the step most often skipped.
What ongoing maintenance does the VP5N31A1 require?
No user-serviceable parts are inside; keep the 128x128 LCD touch screen clean, verify outlet switching and power monitoring via the Geist Next-Generation IMD, and ensure the redundant power-sharing cable remains seated for failover protection.
