CyberPowerCPS1215RM Basic PDU, 100-125V/15A, 10 Outlets, 15ft Power Cord, 1U Rackmount

First things first, accept what this is. An overglorified, rack mountable, 15 amp power strip with 10 outlets. It is not a UPS, it is not a surge supressor, it is merely a PDU. It is limited to 15 amps of total currentI work in large enterprise IT as a systems administrator, and I deal with rack PDUs all the time from the likes of Dell, Cyberpower, APC, Belkin, etc... I was doing a relay / networking rack install for my home training lab / office , and I wanted a clean way to run power to all of my devise. You may notice a good number of those devices are actually desktop type. And yes they have wall wart type transformers, and no they don't work well with the PDU. I had to run 1' power extensions from the PDU to the wall warts. 3M double stick foam tape holds the wall warts to the tray immediately above the PDU. It works great, and has as clean of a look as is physically possible considering the sheer volume of cables running to and from this rack.The PDU itself is bade of a sturdy metal construction housing, drilled for rack mounting holes, with a convenient master switch, and 10 standard black outlets along the back. A heavy duty, long power cable provides incoming power. I have mine set up as the only device drawing power from an OLD CyberPower CP585AVR UPS that I refurbished a few months ago. No more daisy chains of power strips hung off the UPS, and no more UPS on my desk. The UPS sits nicely behind the desk on the floor, and like I mentioned, the cables are routed neatly within the rack.All in all I am quite pleased with the reliability, and performance dollar for dollar that CyberPower products have provided myself, and my employers / clients over the years. I fully intend to continue doing business with them for the foreseeable future.

Cyberpower has always been a good product. This power strip is no exception. Added to a clients network cabinet plugged into a cyberpower battery backup. It has a very thick gauge power wire that was longer than I needed. None the less, it is very well built using a medal chassis and firm outlets to plug in everything. It’s basic but high quality.

I added a UPS to my rack setup recently, so I needed to pull my old surge-suppression PDU and add one that doesn't have any built-in surge suppression (that function is handled by the UPS now). It voids the UPS's equipment warranty if you have devices hooked to a surge strip of any kind, so you need something like this instead. I'm very happy with what CyberPower produced here! Plenty of outlets, a nice long cord (it was overkill for my setup, but still great that they have it), and the plastic protective cover over the power switch is a nice touch to prevent accidental switch presses. It's a heavy gauge of steel and feels VERY sturdy. It's doing the job I bought it for, and it looks good in the rack. Great product.

As with many simple mechanical products, there’s not much for me to say here. Like my silly title: the electricity goes in one spot and comes out a bunch of others (if you plug things in there; no lightning bolts).I have no opinion about, nor tools to measure, the electricity that comes out of it, so I cannot rate it for noise or whatever. Heck, I didn’t even check to make sure every socket was wired correctly with an outlet tester. Shame on me. If I do, I’ll try to remember to update the review.I’m sure the joint on the safety cover over the power switch would wear out with a lot of use, but I’m hoping I won’t need to use it a lot. The switch works. It’s used to stop vampire loads wasting electricity.The build seems good. So far, I would buy more of these (I might, actually, buy another; my “studio” seems to never have enough electrical outlets).It could stand to have at least two sockets on the front. It’s odd that most rackable power strips are made with ALL the sockets on the FRONT. That’s why I chose this one: it’s the unit you get if you want all the clutter BEHIND the desk. Still, two sockets up front would be an added convenience, but the price was right for this one, and the more “convenient” rack strips were also more expensive.As others have said in their reviews, this product is not shipped in a proper shipping carton. It comes in an unprotected (no packing materials) basic manufacturer’s product box (low profile plain brown cardboard). Luckily, mine did NOT come damaged. I don’t know why Amazon ships these things in this way. They’re probably hurting themselves with returns due to shipping these without proper packing. The manufacturer should redesign their packaging so that it secures and protects the product. Then the pickers at Amazon’s warehouses wouldn’t need to pack it in another carton, which they already don’t do (probably because they don’t know they should).
