Vertiv Geist rPDU Switched 230V Rack PDU

The Vertiv Geist rPDU Switched 230V Rack PDU (VP4G30A3-12C13) is an intelligent, outlet-level switched power distribution unit engineered for high-density data center and server rack environments. Built on Vertiv's Geist rPDU platform, it delivers individual outlet switching control, enabling remote power cycling of connected equipment without physical access to the rack. The unit operates at 230V and provides 12 x IEC C13 output receptacles, making it well suited for standard 1U and 2U servers, networking equipment, and storage arrays common in enterprise deployments.

The VP4G30A3-12C13 incorporates built-in environmental and power monitoring capabilities, capturing real-time data on voltage, current, power (kW), and energy consumption (kWh) at both the inlet and individual outlet level. This granular visibility supports capacity planning, power budgeting, and compliance reporting without requiring external metering hardware. The unit connects to the network via a dedicated RJ45 management port and supports SNMP v1/v2c/v3, Modbus TCP, and an embedded web interface, integrating cleanly into existing data center infrastructure management (DCIM) and building management system (BMS) platforms.

Designed for zero-U vertical or toolless horizontal rack mounting, the unit fits within standard 19-inch and 23-inch cabinets while minimising consumed rack space. Remote outlet switching combined with per-outlet current monitoring and configurable alert thresholds makes the VP4G30A3-12C13 a practical choice for colocation facilities, enterprise server rooms, and managed service environments where uptime, remote manageability, and accurate power accounting are operational priorities.

Ideal for

• Remote power cycling of hung servers or network devices in unmanned or remote data center locations, eliminating the need for an on-site technician to perform hard resets
• Granular per-outlet power monitoring and kWh metering to support accurate tenant or department-level power chargeback in colocation and shared infrastructure environments
• Real-time current and voltage monitoring with configurable threshold alerting to prevent circuit overloads and support proactive capacity management across high-density server racks
• Integration with DCIM platforms and BMS systems via SNMP v3 or Modbus TCP for centralised power visibility and automated event-driven outlet control workflows
• Staggered sequential power-on sequencing of rack equipment during planned maintenance windows or recovery from an unplanned power event, reducing inrush current spikes
• Energy consumption tracking and reporting to support data center sustainability initiatives, PUE measurement, and corporate carbon footprint reduction programmes
