Product Features
Technical Overview
The PRM24 incorporates advanced surge protection circuitry that monitors and clamps excess voltage across all connected lines. The 24 NEMA 5-15R receptacles are spaced for standard power cords and high-power devices, supporting centralized power distribution without daisy-chaining multiple strips. Dataline protection covers coaxial cables for video systems, Ethernet for network equipment, and phone lines for telecommunications, providing a holistic defense against electrical disturbances.
Built for 19-inch standard racks, the module occupies 1U of vertical space with dimensions of 1.73 inches high, 18.86 inches wide, and 3.50 inches deep. The compact form factor maximizes rack utilization while maintaining adequate airflow. The unit weighs 2.73 pounds for easy installation and meets RoHS environmental standards, reflecting APC's focus on sustainable manufacturing practices.
