Tripp Lite RS-1215-RA 12-Outlet 1U Rack Mount PDU, 15A, 120V, 15 ft Cord

Robust 12-outlet PDU for rack and workspace power distribution

The Tripp Lite RS-1215-RA is designed to support dense rack environments without compromising power management. It provides 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets—six on the front and six on the rear—so you can allocate power to a range of devices, from servers to UPS banks and network gear. The outlets are widely spaced to prevent crowding when bulky transformers, adapters, or power bricks are in use. The unfiltered pass-through enables straightforward distribution of UPS or generator power within data centers, network closets, or professional studios. Outlets are oriented at a right angle with the ground pin positioned at the bottom to help with clearance and cable routing in tight cabinets.

Flexible mounting and durable construction

Constructed from a heavy-duty metal enclosure, this 1U PDU fits standard 19-inch racks and also supports alternative mounting—on a wall, under a counter, or on a workbench—thanks to detachable mounting brackets. The 15-foot (4.6 m) cord ends in a NEMA 5-15P plug, providing generous reach to position the strip where it best fits your space. The right-angle outlets and sturdy housing contribute to a neat, professional setup that holds up under daily use in busy environments.

Control, protection, and reliability

A clearly illuminated on/off switch with a snap-in guard makes status quick to read at a glance and helps prevent accidental power downs. A 15A circuit breaker protects connected devices from overloads. The design emphasizes safe, straightforward operation and reliable power distribution across mixed equipment environments.

Real-world uses and potential benefits

In data centers, network rooms, studios, or home laboratories, the RS-1215-RA aims to simplify power management without sacrificing accessibility. The dual-front and dual-rear outlet arrangement accommodates devices with different footprints, while the spacing supports clean cable flow and airflow around gear. Real-world results can vary by setup, but many users report improved outlet availability and a tidier rack footprint.

• Front outlets provide quick access for active equipment at the rack front.
• Rear outlets keep power bricks tucked away, reducing clutter and improving airflow.
• Detachable mounting brackets support rack, wall, or bench installations; reconfiguration is straightforward.
• Long 15-foot cord expands placement options beyond the nearest outlet.
