Vertiv 38608 1-Phase Metered Surge PDU 0U 20A 120V | Rack Mount

Maintain stable rack power where uptime matters most. This Vertiv 1-phase UPS PDU combines metered visibility with surge protection in a 0U form factor, giving infrastructure teams a compact way to distribute 120 V power across dense equipment rows. With 20 NEMA 5-20R outlets and a 20 A input, it is designed for environments that need clean rack organization without sacrificing outlet count. The metered design helps you monitor power draw at the PDU, making it easier to balance loads before they become a problem. That matters in mixed server and network racks where headroom is limited and every circuit decision affects availability. The 0U mounting style preserves rack space for active hardware, while the single-phase design fits common branch-circuit deployments in enterprise closets, edge rooms, and distributed IT sites. Choose this model when you need more than a basic power strip. It adds the control and visibility expected in higher-value infrastructure, helping reduce guesswork during installs, refreshes, and capacity planning.
