CyberPower RKBS15S6F12R Rackbar Surge Protector, 120V/15A, 18 Outlets, 15 Foot Power Cord, 1U Rackmount

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.

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.

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]

This was perfect for what I needed. I'm glad it has a long power cord, but ... I kinda wish it was just a weee bit shorter for my needs. Not gonna drop a star for what is my own personal preference. Under most other conditions, tho, the super-long cord would be a life-saver, tho! Unbeknownst to me, this also included a nice cable tray for routing cables through the back, so they don't just hang straight down (thus adding strain). I like the cable tray a LOT! I still needed a "wall-wart killer" (1-ft extension) for some things, tho, but I planned on that. The cable tray sits just a wee bit too close for a wall-wart to fit in. It's not a big deal, because I already planned to use the extensions anyway. I especially love the 2 outlets on the front for "quick servicing" of devices in the closet. I got this power bar also for that explicit feature.This is exactly what I wanted/needed. Glad I got it!

The circuit breaker is visibly misaligned. Other than that, the unit looks great. Another review complains that the bracket holes don't line up, but the online manual has more details, clarifying that you're only supposed to use two diagonal holes with two screws on each side. I believe the offset of the holes allows you to mount the RackBar at different depths relative to the rack if you need to.

Big fan of this Surge Suppressor. I've seen these used in a rack at businesses and was impressed with the many outlets and 1U design. For home, I had been trying to find one with many outlets and the suppressor capability but the options are limited. Came across the CyberPower on Amazon and bought 2 immediately. One is in the family room with Media PC, TV, DVD player, etc connected leaving me enough outlets for anything else and the other is in the office with router, switch, NAS and cable modem connected. Neither one is in a rack of course but both are rock solid and provide lots of space for big plugs or more connections. I would give these the full 5 stars and really have no good reason not to. Just wish they had an option to lay them down or stand them up on a flat surface.

Pros: 15' 14gauge shielded wiring, very sturdy. Any other time in my life the cable length would've been a godsend, but was an inconvenience for me that was easily overcome by ziptie's.Sturdy construction, lots of outlets for my immediate use and cleaned up a ton of power cord mess from my wall outlet. Holds up very well under a hefty power load, which means I don't have to have a quad outlet splitter in my wall socket.Coloring matched my rackmount and it was easy to install.Cons: There's a cable guide / tie-down bar that is a bit flimsy and was more of an annoyance/frustration than anything. The tiny screws were a pain to get in because the slots in the bar were too close to the outer casing, so I had to find a thinner screw driver. In the end I just tossed it into the trash because it didn't work for me, was too much frustration and by the time I had it on, I found I'd put it on upside-down so yeah... that piece didn't survive my temper ;)I wasn't too concerned with the price, but I did get it initially at a reduced price which is what caught my eye. Would buy it again (and ditch that bar again, too!!) if I needed to. Definitely worth it if you're looking for a solid power bar for your rackmount.

I bought this as I wanted a power bar to connect a bunch of low draw devices (switch, router, modem, POE injector) to a single UPS backup outlet. The cord is LONG, but ultimately makes less of a mess as I'm able to bring power to all the devices and shorten those cords up a lot.I don't even have it in a rack yet. Ultimately its priced barely more than a decent strip power bar and still works fine out of a rack.I purposely picked this one as it does not have a power switch, don't need to shut all that stuff off by accident.

Very good quality PDU. Installed it in my home network rack, I can connect all my device into it without any issues. Be aware that you might need some 1ft extension for those bulky adaptors that would otherwise block one or two slots since these are pretty close to each other. but this isn't the fault of this PDU, just something to keep in mind depending on your device power adapters. 15 ft cord is also pretty awesome for that far-reach wall plug.

Product was shipped & delivered quickly. Unit is beautiful! Fits like a glove into my case on my 1U mount space. Some simple assembly required but it was fast & instructions were straight forward. Bonus: Pieces that had to be attached only fit one way!!!!! Great unit for the price...and the sideways facing plugs made it ideal. No adjustments required for large adapters....even comes with a cable management tray (and zipties!!!) to keep everything nice & clean. Only downside was it didn't come with rack screws & cage nuts...but otherwise & overall a great buy!

Tbh I'd rather have a 20A unit but this one does fine, don't thing it's a full on surge suppressor but is fine. Rather have this than a cheap plastic one. No issues as of yet.
