Vertiv 38446 0U 20A 120V Basic Surge PDU | Rack Mount, Enterprise

Deliver protected power distribution in demanding rack environments with this Vertiv 0U basic surge PDU. Built for single-phase 120 V deployments, it supports 20 A input, giving infrastructure teams more electrical headroom for rack layouts that outgrow standard 15 A distribution. The 0U vertical format keeps the unit outside the equipment footprint, preserving rack space for servers, storage, and network hardware. That matters in production cabinets where every U is already assigned and cable routing must stay clean. Basic surge protection helps defend connected equipment against transient electrical events without adding unnecessary complexity. This model is a strong fit for teams standardizing on 120 V branch circuits but needing a higher-current distribution point for mixed loads. It is especially useful where outlet access, rack density, and predictable installation are more important than advanced monitoring or switching features. Compared with lower-capacity alternatives, the value is in the extra current capacity and the space-saving vertical design. For procurement teams and architects, that combination supports cleaner rack builds and fewer compromises when power demand rises.
