15A 1U Switched and Metered by Outlet PDU Comparison for IT and Network Deployments
The Xtreme Power SPDU Series from Xtreme Power Conversion and the Vertiv VP7U11A0 from Vertiv are both 1U switched and metered by outlet power distribution units designed for IT and network rack environments.
While both platforms provide outlet level switching and energy monitoring, the Xtreme Power SPDU adds integrated surge and voltage protection and native thermal monitoring without accessories, delivering greater protection, improved visibility, and government readiness in a compact and lightweight design.
Key Differentiators at a Glance
- Integrated surge and voltage protection
- Built-in voltage and temperature monitoring
- Compact and lightweight 1U form factor
- No external environmental sensors required
- Simplified local configuration and visibility
- TAA compliance for government and regulated procurement
