Vertiv 12579 Metered 0U PDU, 15A 120 V, (20) 5-15R | Rack Mount

Deliver dependable rack power in a compact 0U design built for dense IT environments. This Vertiv metered PDU supports 120 V, 15A input and provides 20 NEMA 5-15R outlets, giving you the outlet count needed to feed multiple devices without consuming rack units. Metered visibility helps teams track load at the distribution point, making it easier to manage capacity and avoid overcommitment. For infrastructure teams, the value is in control and density. A metered PDU gives you a clearer view of power usage than basic distribution, which matters when you are balancing servers, network gear, and edge appliances in the same cabinet. The 0U form factor preserves rack space for active equipment, while the standard 1-phase design fits common branch-circuit deployments. It is a practical choice when you need reliable power distribution with enough visibility to support planning, maintenance, and growth. Use it where rack space is at a premium and power discipline matters. This model is well suited to standard server rooms, network closets, and colocation racks that require a straightforward, high-outlet-count PDU with metering at the unit level.
