How to install Tripp Lite RS-1215-20
- Identify the installation location in a standard 19" rack, cabinet, wall, or under-counter surface where outlets are accessible and the cord can reach a suitable power source without tension.

- Secure the power strip in the chosen location, ensuring it is level and that airflow around devices is not obstructed. Tighten mounting hardware as required to prevent movement during equipment maintenance or handling of cables.
- Route the 15 ft cord to a properly rated 120V, 20A power source. Avoid sharp bends, pinch points, or placing the cord under heavy equipment to minimize wear and future failures.
- Connect devices to the 12 outlets, distributing loads evenly to prevent overloading a single circuit. After connections are made, power on the strip and verify that all outlets are delivering power to connected equipment.
