Product Features
Technical Overview
Engineered for 50/60 Hz electrical systems, the PS3612B accepts standard North American NEMA 5-15P plugs and distributes power through twelve NEMA 5-15R receptacles spaced 2.64 inches apart. This spacing accommodates bulky power adapters without blocking adjacent outlets.
The all-metal aluminum construction ensures durability in high-use environments, and the 15-foot heavy-duty cord provides flexible placement options relative to power sources.
Relevant factors for this section include Plug/Connector Type, Receptacles, Receptacles Spacing, Input Voltage. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
A strong technical summary explains how the product's interfaces, hardware profile, and operating characteristics work together in real deployment. Buyers often need this context to confirm compatibility with existing devices, expected performance in daily use, and whether installation will be straightforward for IT staff or end users.

Network and Telecom Racks
Mount vertically in server racks or telecom enclosures to power networking equipment, servers, and peripherals with clean cable management.
Industrial Workbenches
Provide centralized power for tools, test equipment, and devices in manufacturing, repair, or laboratory settings.
Physical Profile
The power strip measures 36 inches in height with a slim 1.5-inch square profile, allowing it to fit neatly in tight spaces or mount flush against walls or racks. Weighing 3.8 pounds, it remains stable when installed horizontally or vertically. The aluminum finish resists corrosion and maintains a professional appearance in visible installations.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 36" (914.40 mm), 1.50" (38.10 mm), 1.50" (38.10 mm), 3.80 lb (1723.65 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
