Review on StarTech.com 8 Outlet Horizontal 1U Rack Mount PDU Power Strip for Network Server Racks - Surge Protection - 120V/15A - with 6 Ft Power Cord (RKPW081915), Black: Efficient Power Distribution Solution for Network Server Racks by Sean Bouchard

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Power strip with more than enough outlets (8 outlets)

Occupies 1U in your rack and provides enough space for most of your networking needs, depending on your configuration. Since the outlets are on the side and most router/modem plugs are now wide, this is great for connecting multiple devices side-by-side. It also allows for a cleaner setup as the connectors are on the back instead of the front. The power cord that plugs into the wall is also on the back. I originally tried to mount this in a smaller rack that wasn't as deep as traditional racks, but unfortunately it didn't fit due to the power cord and all the plugs I wanted to plug in from the back didn't have enough room. . However, it was very easy to install and looks clean. I will update in about a year.

Pros
  • 1U Rack Design: Compatible with any 19" server rack with a depth of 4" or deeper, this horizontally mounted PDU fits into many network racks and features a integrated 6 inch power cord. feet/1.8 meters .
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
