• 1U rack-mount design for standard 19" racks: This compact, space-saving form factor fits neatly into any data center or IT cabinet, allowing dense equipment layouts while preserving cooling and airflow around devices. The slim profile makes it easy to position between servers and switches or alongside other PDUs without crowding the rack.
• 12 outlets (6 front-facing, 6 rear-facing) for flexible power distribution: A total of 12 outlets provide ample capacity to power multiple servers, storage devices, routers, and switches from a single unit. Front-facing outlets offer quick access for devices in the rack face, while rear-facing outlets support tidy cable routing for devices mounted toward the back of the cabinet.
• Reliable 120V, 20A capacity with L5-20P input: Designed to handle demanding IT workloads, this power strip delivers stable, high-current power suitable for mid-to high-density racks. The L5-20P input is a common, rugged connector favored in professional data centers for secure, lockable connections.
• Long 15 ft cord for flexible deployment: A generous cord length enables versatile placement within or near the rack, reducing strain on outlet availability and simplifying cable management across rooms, corridors, or utility areas. The 15-foot cord helps you avoid forced compromises in layout while maintaining clean, organized racks.
• Built-in safety and protection features for peace of mind: With overload protection and a resettable circuit breaker, this power strip guards connected equipment against power spikes and faults. The durable metal enclosure is built to withstand the rigors of active data centers and improves longevity in busy environments.
