How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton 24-Outlet Vertical Power Strip

Installing this 24-outlet vertical power strip is straightforward when you follow best-practice power distribution guidelines. The goal is to maximize safety, minimize clutter, and ensure balanced power delivery across devices.

• Plan the layout: identify the primary circuit you will connect to (typically a dedicated 20A circuit for high-density deployments) and determine a mounting location that allows easy access to outlets and a clean cable path.
• Mount and position: place the vertical power strip in a secure, unobstructed area. If mounting to a wall or rack, follow your facility’s hardware guidelines and use appropriate mounting hardware for the surface. Ensure there is adequate clearance for air flow and access to outlets.
• Connect to a suitable power source: use the 15 ft cord to reach a 120V, 20A power source. Avoid daisy-chaining multiple power strips and never plug into overloaded circuits.
• Organize cables: route power cords and device cables along the back or sides of the unit using any built-in cable management features or ties to keep cables tidy and prevent tangling or obstruction.
• Test and verify: once connected, switch on equipment one device at a time to confirm power delivery. Use a circuit tester if necessary to verify outlets are functioning and delivering stable power to connected devices.
• Distribute load responsibly: distribute power requirements evenly across outlets and avoid concentrating heavy-load devices on a single outlet bank. Periodically review the load on the circuit to prevent nuisance tripping.
• Maintenance and safety: periodically inspect the power strip for signs of wear, heat, or damage. Do not operate with damaged cords or outlets, and replace the unit if you notice any irregularities.
