CyberPower RKBS15S2F8R Rackbar Surge Protector, 120V/15A, 10 Outlets, 15 Foot Power Cord, 1U Rackmount, UL Listed

Nice surge protector for your server rack. Tons of outlets on the back and a long, beefy power cord. The removable cable securing rack on the back is a nice, unexpected touch. It's pretty stout and doesn't stick out too far, and you can just leave it off if you don't want/need it. No power switch, but how often will you power down an entire rack? Probably better that they eliminated a possible failure point. Overall no complaints with this unit.

Was looking for a power bar / surge suppressor before adding on a UPS later on in my rack. I noticed a lot of the top rated / best selling rackbar had 6 outlets in the front and 6 in the rear, and so on -- I didn't understand this. After going to CyberPowers site and poking around a little more I discovered this line compared to the more popular ones.Looking at the comparison it seemed like a no brainer, there's more joule coverage overall, more NEMA ports in the rear, two extra up front just in case, and actual surge suppression (If you wanted more in the rear on the other line your option was to go 20 amp, or lose out on surge suppression). Seemed way more fitting the bill than anything else. Received it in a great packaging, I had to put the wire bar on manually which I thought was a bit of an odd setup but everything went together pretty easily. Wired everything up and works great. Got the twelve outlets in the back and two up front. Easy to hook up to a 19" rack width too. There was also an option to set the depth a little more into the rack if you so chose, seemed like a few configuration options that I didn't particularly need.

This is a good PDU, but may not work for all situations. The cord tray is nice if you can use it.Mounting; Includes different ears for vertical or horizontal mounts. The ears a basically the same with the horizontal being longer to support more weight. The vertical ears require the PDU to mount flat to the rail; I really needed a mount that stands off the rail. The holes on the mount only require two screws so only two holes will align when correctly orriented.Outlets: The outlets are best used for basic power cords. Wall warts are likely to block 2-3 recepticles and are unikly to fit if you want tp use the cord tray. I had to remove it.Other:- The power cord is 15' long, great if you need it, but a lot of extra for me. 6' would be plenty.- No power switch so no accidental power offs.- Cord tray made for binding with zip ties, more suited for permanent setups.- Includes PDU, two pairs of ears (4 screws), cord tray (4 screws), zip ties, grounding screw.

18 outlets and a $150,000 connected-equipment warranty? Wonderful![Edit: Manufacturer responded to my review, and has corrected a small error in the listing that I noticed. Now the summary, description, specifications and images all agree on 3600 joule suppression. Originally, a discrepancy led to me investigating the manufacturer's product detail page for this model on their own website.]Unfortunately, that same product page revealed that the clamping voltage on this protector is 400 volts. High-quality consumer surge protectors clamp to (aka 'let through') 330 volts at most. Here, lower is better for your downstream products, while worse for the longevity of the surge protector. If you need protection for sensitive equipment, you might be better served by a more stringent surge protector.My use was for mounting to the underside of a desk; I was able to use the included rackmount brackets to hang it (turned 90 degrees from their intended orientation) and still get 2 screws attaching the bracket to the surge protector. This proved more than adequate even with as heavy as this all-metal surge protector is.Note that the cord on this is 15' and is a traditional straight-on plug. I found both to be bothersome - the heavy-duty cord was far too long for me, quite weighty when bundled, and I ended up needing a Hug-A-Plug so the cord wouldn't protrude nearly as far from the wall.[2016 Update: no complaints after a year of 24/7 use.][2019 Update: still works great]

Was looking for a trusted surge suppressor for a smaller 6u rack.This thing fits the bill. It installs well and all the hardware and mountpoints are sturdy enough from what i can tell. For a smaller rack where you probably don't need all the plugs this offers you can space out larger adapters without much trouble. I wouldn't recommend this is you however needed all 12 outlets as having no room for larger adapters could be an issue.

I chose this device because it was relatively inexpensive and had 12 rear outlets. It works exactly as expected, mounts nicely in a rack, and even comes with a cable retention bracket and clips if that's something you'd find useful (I'm using it merely for organization purposes). Highly recommended if you're looking a high density of plugs on the rear of the device and don't want to spend over $100.

Installed two years ago and still working perfectly. Shallow depth allows use even in shallow patch panel racks.I saw complaints that outlets are too close together and large plugs might fit in every available outlet. Since rack width is limited by 19" spec, there's no way to fit this many outlets at rear with more space between them. I can use every outlet for regular plugs and just had to skip a few when plugging in cheaper products that use wall warts.For ease of cable management, I used the rear outlets to power rack equipment and front only for temporary use. Highly recommended.
