FAQ
What type of surge protection does this power strip provide?
This industrial power strip features 3450-Joule surge protection that safeguards connected equipment against voltage spikes and transient surges. The protection is complemented by a resettable 15A circuit breaker that trips during overload conditions, then can be reset without replacing components. This dual-protection approach ensures both surge suppression and overcurrent protection for valuable electronics.
How does the EMI/RFI noise isolation work?
The outlets are organized into four isolated filter banks, with two outlets per bank. Each bank contains filtering components that prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) from passing between equipment connected to different banks. This isolation maintains clean power signals, which is particularly important for audio equipment, networking gear, and precision instruments that can be affected by electrical noise.
Can this power strip be mounted on a wall or rack?
Yes, the power strip includes built-in mounting ears and comes with four space screws that have 2.4mm spacers for secure wall or surface mounting. A paper mounting template is included to simplify installation alignment. While designed for wall mounting, the unit also includes four foot pads for stable desktop use when wall mounting isn't required.
What is the maximum power capacity of this unit?
This power distribution unit supports up to 15 amps at 125 volts AC, providing a maximum power capacity of 1,875 watts. It operates within standard North American electrical parameters of 50-60 Hz frequency. The 15A circuit breaker protects against overload conditions that could exceed this capacity, making it suitable for powering multiple devices in commercial and light industrial environments.
What type of outlets and plug does this power strip use?
The unit features eight NEMA 5-15R receptacles, which are standard three-prong grounded outlets commonly used in North America. It includes a 12-foot NEMA 5-15P power cord with a standard three-prong plug. The outlets are widely spaced to accommodate larger power adapters, with some outlets positioned at right angles to prevent blocking adjacent outlets.
What materials and construction features enhance durability?
The housing is constructed from extruded aluminum, which provides superior strength and heat dissipation compared to plastic alternatives. The space gray finish offers corrosion resistance and a professional appearance. The heavy-duty construction includes integrated mounting ears, status LEDs for power monitoring, and a design that positions some outlets at right angles to improve accessibility for larger power adapters.
