Will a vertical PDU block equipment positions at the front of the rack?
No. The vertical units mount at the side and do not consume front 19-inch rack units.
That is the principal advantage of the vertical orientation: the power distribution uses cabinet side space rather than competing with switches, patch panels and servers for the front rails.
