Vertiv 17451 0U 20A 120V Basic Surge PDU | Rack Mount, Enterprise

Maintain stable rack power distribution and add a first line of surge protection without consuming valuable rack units. This Vertiv basic surge PDU is built for 0U vertical mounting, making it a practical fit for cabinets where front-facing space is reserved for active IT gear. With 120 V input, 20 A current capacity, and eight NEMA 5-20R outlets, it supports orderly power delivery to network appliances, edge systems, and rack-mounted peripherals. The vertical layout simplifies cable routing and helps reduce clutter at the rear of the rack, where power density often becomes the limiting factor. For teams standardizing on a single rack power format, the 0U design keeps installation straightforward while preserving airflow and service access. The basic surge protection layer adds resilience against common electrical disturbances, helping protect connected equipment from avoidable downtime and replacement costs. Choose this model when you need dependable rack power distribution from a trusted infrastructure vendor, not a consumer-grade strip. It is a clean, purpose-built option for environments that value predictable deployment, consistent outlet access, and a compact footprint.
