Zero-U vertical PDUs — power distribution that runs up the side of the rack and gives back the rack units a horizontal strip would take.
In a full rack, every U counts — which is why the 0U vertical PDU is the data-center default. Mounted up the side rails, it distributes power to a full column of equipment without consuming a single rack unit, and its length puts outlets near the gear they serve.
This slice locks the catalog to 0U vertical PDUs. Get the electrical spec right — phase, input voltage and receptacle mix — then send the shortlist as a quote to confirm stock and country of origin across the rack count.

Buyer's checklist
Choosing a 0U vertical PDU
Confirm the rack's side channels have clearance and mounting points for a full-height vertical strip.
Match phase and input voltage to the feed exactly (208 V single- or three-phase for dense racks).
Count the receptacles by type (C13/C19/NEMA) against the equipment plugs, with spares.
Choose the intelligence tier — basic, metered or switched — for how the rack is managed.
Size amperage to the connected load with headroom and confirm the input plug matches the whip.
Every line is screened for TAA country of origin and NDAA §889 status before it ships on a federal order.
FAQ
Common questions
Why choose a 0U vertical PDU?
Because it consumes no rack units — it mounts up the side rails, freeing the U's a horizontal PDU would take and putting outlets close to the equipment. It's the default for a full or near-full rack. Choose a horizontal 1U/2U unit only when a vertical rail won't fit.
How do I match the PDU to my rack's power?
Match input voltage and phase to the feed (e.g. 208 V single- or three-phase for a dense rack), confirm the receptacle mix covers your equipment, and size amperage to the load with headroom. Send a quote with your feed details and we'll confirm the fit.
