FAQ
What type of outlets does the RS-1215-RA power strip have?
The RS-1215-RA features twelve NEMA 5-15R hospital grade outlets. These outlets are oriented at right angles to accommodate bulky power transformers and adapters without blocking adjacent outlets. Hospital grade outlets provide enhanced safety with secure connections that resist accidental disconnection.
Is this power strip suitable for rack mounting?
Yes, the RS-1215-RA is specifically designed for rack mounting with a 1U height (1.75 inches) that fits standard 19-inch equipment racks. The metal construction includes standard rack mounting holes for secure installation in data centers, server rooms, and network cabinets.
What is the maximum current capacity of this power strip?
This power strip has a maximum input current of 15 amps at 120 volts AC. The integrated 15A circuit breaker provides overcurrent protection, automatically interrupting power if the load exceeds safe levels to protect both the power strip and connected equipment.
How long is the power cord included with this unit?
The RS-1215-RA includes a 15-foot (4.57 meter) power cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug. This length provides flexibility in positioning the power strip relative to wall outlets or upstream power distribution units in rack environments.
What safety features does this power strip include?
Safety features include hospital grade NEMA 5-15R outlets that maintain secure connections, a 15A circuit breaker for overcurrent protection, metal construction for proper grounding, and a front-mounted power switch for local control. The right-angle outlet design also reduces strain on power cords and prevents blockages.
Can this power strip handle bulky power adapters?
Yes, the right-angle outlet orientation is specifically designed to accommodate bulky power transformers and adapters. The outlets are positioned so large power bricks extend sideways rather than blocking adjacent outlets, maximizing usable outlet space in dense rack configurations.
