Featured TrippLite Rack Mount Products
Our selection highlights two standout options tailored for horizontal rack mounting.
12-Outlet Rack Mount Power Strip PDU
This 1U horizontal PDU features six front and six rear-facing outlets, a 15A/120V capacity, and a 15ft cord with a right-angle plug for straightforward installation. It's perfect for distributing power to multiple devices without clutter, making it ideal for standard server racks where accessibility from both sides is key. Its slim black design fits seamlessly into any professional setup.
SMART1500LCD 1500VA Rack Mount UPS
A short-depth 2U powerhouse, this UPS delivers 1500VA/900W with eight outlets, PWM sine wave output, and built-in AVR for clean, stable power. The LCD screen provides at-a-glance status on battery health, load, and runtime, while its compact form suits shallow racks. Compared to the PDU, this adds critical battery backup, extending operation during outages—essential for mission-critical applications.
Choosing between them? Opt for the PDU if you need basic power distribution in a space-saving 1U form. Go for the UPS if downtime protection is non-negotiable, as its battery backup and monitoring elevate reliability. Both exemplify TrippLite's commitment to versatility.
Common Use Cases for TrippLite Rack Mounts
These products shine in scenarios like small to medium data centers, edge computing, home labs, and enterprise networks. For instance, the PDU simplifies powering switches and routers, while the UPS protects against blackouts in remote offices.
