FAQ
How many devices can I plug into this Ergotron power strip?
The Ergotron 97-711 has six outlets, allowing you to connect up to six devices simultaneously. However, the total connected load must not exceed the 15-amp maximum input current to ensure safe operation and prevent circuit overload.
What is the input voltage rating for this power strip?
This power strip is rated for 125 volts AC input. This voltage is standard in many North American office and residential environments, making it compatible with typical business IT equipment, monitors, chargers, and small appliances that operate on 125V AC systems.
What is the maximum current this power strip can handle?
The maximum input current is 15 amps. This rating indicates the total electrical load all connected devices can draw without exceeding the strip's capacity. It is important to sum the amperage requirements of your devices to ensure they stay within this 15-amp limit for safe and reliable performance.
Is this power strip suitable for use in a server rack?
Yes, the Ergotron 97-711 can be used in server racks or network closets to power multiple low-to-moderate draw devices like switches, routers, or modems. Since it is a basic power strip without rack-mounting features, you may need to secure it manually. It does not provide surge protection or battery backup, so it is best for non-critical equipment where simple outlet expansion is needed.
Does this Ergotron power strip include surge protection?
No, this is a standard power strip focused on outlet multiplication and basic power distribution. It does not list surge protection, battery backup, or other advanced electrical safeguards. For environments requiring surge suppression, consider a dedicated surge protector or UPS unit.
What type of outlets does this power strip have?
The Ergotron 97-711 features six standard North American NEMA 5-15R receptacles, which are compatible with common two- or three-prong plugs used for office electronics, computers, and peripherals. These outlets support grounded connections for devices requiring three-prong plugs, enhancing electrical safety in business settings.
