Tripp Lite by Eaton 1U Rack-Mount Power Strip — 12-Outlet, 120V, 15A, 15 ft Cord

Meet a rugged, space-efficient solution for powering rack-mounted equipment with confidence. The Tripp Lite by Eaton 1U Rack-Mount Power Strip is designed for professional environments where reliability, organization, and accessibility matter. Built as an all-metal cabinet with a 1U profile, this power strip distributes power to a full rack of devices while keeping bulky transformers from blocking outlets. With twelve NEMA 5-15R outlets—six front-facing and six rear-facing—you get flexible wiring options and clean cable management in a compact footprint.

• 12 widely spaced NEMA 5-15R outlets: Six outlets on the front and six on the rear provide ample room for transformers and large plugs, reducing outlet crowding and sharing the available space across the rack.
• 1U rack-mountable, all-metal cabinet: Built to withstand the rigors of data centers, server rooms, or lab environments, offering durability, rigidity, and a professional, clean installation.
• Extended reach with a 15 ft cord: A long cord (15 feet / 4.57 meters) gives you flexible placement inside the rack and the surrounding workspace, enabling optimal power distribution without forcing devices to crowd the front edge.
• 120V, 15A capacity for reliable performance: Designed for standard office and data-center equipment, this power strip supplies steady power to multiple devices, helping maintain uptime for network gear, servers, KVMs, and auxiliary accessories.
• Designed for organized rack installations: The front-facing and rear-facing outlet arrangement, combined with the 1U form factor, makes it easier to route cables and keep the rack area tidy, improving airflow and accessibility for maintenance.

How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 1U Rack-Mount Power Strip

• Prepare the rack space: Ensure your equipment rack is clean, stable, and capable of supporting a 1U power distribution unit. Verify there is clearance at the front and rear for outlets and cable management.
• Mount the unit: Slide the 1U power strip into the appropriate rack rails. Use compatible mounting hardware to secure the unit firmly, ensuring it stays in place during equipment maintenance or reconfiguration.
• Plan cable routing: Map out power cords to minimize crossing and maximize airflow. Since outlets are front and rear facing, plan to keep cords tidy and avoid obstructing ventilation paths.
• Connect to power: Plug the power strip’s 15 ft cord into a properly rated 120V outlet or branch circuit that matches the 15A rating. Ensure the circuit is not overloaded by other devices on the same line.
• Distribute devices: Begin connecting servers, switches, racks, and peripherals to the 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets. Spread devices across front and rear outlets to prevent crowding and to maintain accessible power for maintenance.
• Manage security and accessibility: Route cords neatly and secure any loose cables. After installation, perform a quick power-on self-check to verify that all devices power up without tripping breakers and that outlets are functioning as expected.
