Know before you buy
The isolated filter banks prevent noise and interference from traveling between devices plugged into the same strip. This is particularly useful for sensitive equipment, as it ensures that a noisy device won't degrade the performance of your other connected electronics.
Yes, this unit is designed for versatile installation. It supports 0U vertical mounting, 1U horizontal rack mounting, as well as wall or under-counter placement to suit your specific workspace needs.
The switchless design is a safety feature intended to prevent accidental power shutoffs. By removing the power switch, you eliminate the risk of someone bumping it and cutting power to your critical equipment.
The digital load meter provides real-time amperage monitoring, allowing you to see exactly how much power your connected devices are drawing. This helps you avoid overloading the circuit and ensures you stay within the 15-amp limit.
Yes, the combination of 3840 joules of surge suppression and EMI/RFI noise filtering makes this an excellent choice for protecting and cleaning the power supply for sensitive audio and video gear.
The unit is equipped with a built-in circuit breaker that will trip to protect your equipment and the PDU itself from damage due to an electrical overload.
