BTU Power Strip Surge Protector Rack-Mount PDU, 8 Right Angle Outlets Wide-Spaced, Mountable Power Strip Heavy Duty for Server Racks, Commercial, 300J,ETL (Black 6FT)

I have not attempted to examine the surge protection capabilities because I purchased the device to use as a power strip. I am happily surprised by the build quality look and feel of this $27 device. With today's inflated prices, you could have told me this was a much more expensive unit and I would not have questioned it. It looks and feels prosumer or easily higher. It is a pleasure to use, feels solid, and it improves the look of my mobile video production rack. The power switch is good quality and it even lights up. The unit is shallow, so it leaves us options for routing air flow in the back of the rack or for installing other shallow rack devices on the rack's rear rails. I mounted it above my PC so that I could leave the cover off of the PC for better cooling. I have not flipped the ears around, but I assume that would work. If so, then the device could be mounted proud of the mounting rails and still fit behind most road case covers. Amazon evidently addressed the poor packaging issue raised in other reviews by double boxing the product and mine arrived in good condition. I highly recommend this product to anyone who does not require expensive military spec gear, and you can apply the savings to other gear you need. Howard. WBIG.Tv Buffalo, NY

Working for my need. Plug and play.

I bought this as a cost effective option to power my bass guitar rack system. I wanted to combine an amp and a wireless system into a single protective box, with one power cord. The more professionally marketed versions of this power strip were twice as much or much more. Possibly those have more features, but all I needed was something that was rack mountable to plug multiple items into, leaving me with a single power cord to deal with when setting up. Also, of all the similar products on amazon in this price range, this one had the nicest switch. It is large and easy to find while reaching behind the rack box with no visual. The switch is also very tactile, meaning you can tell for sure whether it is on or off when you click it with your fingers. My only concern is it is a bit on the lighter side, which is nice for the overall weight of my rack system, however it gives it a feeling of less robustness. So far, so good. I would recommend this if your needs are similar to mine.

I have a few of these in my rack and they are a very solid, basic PDU. I don't have a ton of load on them, but one has around 700 watts on it at all times and it doesn't seem to flinch. Mounted in a 19" rack without any issue, and the cord was enough to reach to the bottom of the rack from about eye level.

I didn't want to just throw a power strip on the floor or on a shelf when installing rack equipment, so I picked up one of these. It works perfectly, and looks great without breaking the bank.

This was an okay powerstrip for a wallmount. It did trip a few times after pluggin in so much, but it might be because of my high input. However, easy to mount and use

Perfect fit for a desk with rack mount fitting

This rack-mount PDU is a solid choice. It's well-built, the outlets are spaced nicely, and the surge protection gives me peace of mind. Installation was a breeze, and it's been running reliably in my server rack ever since.

This is wonderful. Unlike other rack mount PDUs, this one is assembled in a modular fashion which makes it great for modding or other electronics projects. Very easy to disassemble and rearrange the layout. Can even 3D print custom front panel flanges. I’ve modified this one a bit to make it more suitable for the AV industry and it works great! Power switch hole is nearly the exact size of a Neutrik D Type connector. To the manufacturers: Don’t stop making it like this! It’s great!

Really good item for a cheap price

Way overpriced for cheap quality. Don't waste your money on this!

I wouldn’t use this in a super demanding environment where it gets beat up a lot but it’s great for my purposes. I’ve had it for about a year and the quality has been solid. I’m uncertain of the quality of the surge protection if that’s a concern.

I put that strip in every rackmount. Once had a 10 outlets version, I miss that one.
