Vertiv Geist Universal Power Distribution Unit

The UPDU is a versatile rack power distribution unit featuring a universal input and detachable Facility Side Cable (FSC - sold separately). The UPDU supports common AC power configurations ranging from 16A-60A and 120V-415V. Available in basic to intelligent models featuring advanced remote power monitoring, environmental monitoring, and optional outlet level switching. The UPDU simplifies critical IT infrastructure deployments by allowing a single model to be installed around the world.

How does it work?

1. Select a UPDU model based on anticipated maximum rack power usage.

2. Choose between a 2U Horizontal or 0U Vertical with a variety of monitoring, management, and outlet configuration options.

3. Install the same UPDU model in all racks and cabinets. The pivoting input adjusts from 0 to 90 degrees to simplify power cable routing.

4. Identify the facility power available for each location and select the FSC with the appropriate power configuration needed.

5. Simply swap out the FSC as power requirements increase or decrease to adapt to changing power needs.
