Vertiv 18417 Metered RPDU 15A 10 NEMA 5-15R 10 ft Cord | Rack PDU

Bring order to rack power distribution with a metered RPDU built for practical infrastructure work. The Vertiv 18417 is a 1-phase unit with 15 A input, 10 NEMA 5-15R outlets, and a 10 ft power cord, giving IT teams a straightforward way to feed multiple devices from a single rack-mounted source. Metering adds the visibility procurement and operations teams expect when power density starts to matter. Instead of guessing at load behavior, you get a distribution point that supports more disciplined planning across servers, network gear, and adjacent rack equipment. The 10-outlet layout is a strong fit for compact deployments where outlet count, cord reach, and rack organization all need to work together. This model also includes surge protection, which helps reduce exposure to transient electrical events in environments where equipment uptime and replacement cost both matter. For teams comparing lower-cost alternatives, the value here is in the combination of metering, outlet count, cord length, and Vertiv build quality — a more complete answer for racks that need dependable distribution, not just more plugs.
