A tidy way to distribute UPS or generator power across a rack, with outlets on both faces and a guarded switch. It offers no surge suppression, so sensitive gear still needs protection upstream.

Overview
Network closets and data center racks are where this strip belongs: an all-metal chassis takes a single slot in a standard rack and spreads power to outlets on both faces. Detachable brackets also let it mount on a wall or under a counter, and power passes through without filtering.
Outlets on both the front and the rear make it easy to feed gear facing either way in a rack, and the long cord reaches a wall outlet or UPS outside the cabinet. Because power passes through unfiltered, it pairs well with a UPS or generator source but adds no protection of its own.
Who it's for
Racks in network closets, AV cabinets and garages benefit from the dual-face layout and the mounting options. Someone protecting a desk computer from spikes should look for a strip with a surge rating instead.
Pros and cons
- Outlets on front and rear faces
- Mounts in a rack, on a wall, under a counter
- Switch guard prevents accidental shutdowns
- Long cord reaches outside the cabinet
- No surge suppression or noise filtering
- Uses a rack space in tight cabinets
- Rack screws not listed in the package
Performance notes
Behavior is set by the source and the breaker: the strip passes whatever waveform the wall, UPS or generator provides, and the breaker trips when combined draw exceeds its rating. Right-angle outlets orient each plug with the ground pin at the bottom, and wide spacing stops large transformers from covering the next socket.
