19 inch rack mount AC power strip


 

Hi, me again! Lol. Does anyone have a power strip that is 19 inch rackmount with about 8 to 10 outlets which is AC with surge protector? I have one but it came with the rack that I bought in the switch got destroyed so looking to get one to replace it.

Don't know what happened to the switch, but it wouldn't even move. Thought there was a cover over the switch is what someone told me, but I got the piece out and ended up being the switch with wires coming out of the back. If no one has one of these AC power strips for a rack, any good recommendations?

Why don't you just bypass the switch, like a non switchable type. Those switches do go bad in time, and let the outlet circuit breaker trip if there is a short.

Take a look at the Tripplite RS-1215-20. Been using it for many repeater projects, they work very well.


 

Is that a horizontal mounted strip for 19 inch rack?

Yes, it is horizontal to mount to the rack rails.

I have been following this power strip subject. A couple of things related to this, yes your power switch is broken. I prefer not to have a power switch inside a rack, just another source of problems. Although, maybe your power switch is also a circuit breaker, which is something different and you should probably keep. If someone can see a part number on it, you may just be able to replace it.

The other part of this, how much 120 VAC are you using in the rack??? I can't think of much of anything to power with 120 VAC in the rack. Other than the power supply to provide the 12 VDC that is it. Everything else is 12 VDC. My repeater is a MSF5000 which is powered outside of it's cabinet. I have another cabinet under the MSF5000 and it has a power supply and again, everything runs on 12 VDC.
