Is there included hardware to mount it on the side of a rack?** A: The power supply strip gets mounted on a 19 inch rack the same way as your routers and switches with 2 or 4 locking nuts and screws. **Q: Can this unit accept multiple inputs (e.g., commercial and more than one UPS) and multiple outputs? Can it prioritize specific outlets for backup?** A: J. Ross, no it can't. It has one input and 8 outputs. There is nothing fancy about it. **Q: Does this device also function as a power conditioner? If yes, how well does it perform?** A: The RKPW081915 does not function as a power conditioner. Brandon, StarTech.com Support **Q: Is rack mounting hardware included?** A: No, RKPW081915 does not come with mounting hardware as different styles of racks require different types and sizes of hardware to mount equipment. Matt, StarTech.com Support ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good rack mount power strip. *by B***R on January 27, 2026* Fit a rack. Good outlet spacing. Good price. Nice and solid and comes with the mounting hardware. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by G***Y on October 12, 2025* Took my rack mount to the next level for a great price. No complaints. The plugs ground to the side so this one was useful for my project bc the plugs fit in the limited space. The others like it did not. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works fine, reasonably-priced. Somewhat amateurish appearance and unconventional status lights. *by C***O on May 17, 2026* Simple to mount and easy to use. Seems reasonably well-built. Plenty of outlets at the back. No fancy electrical isolation, but it does offer basic protection from electrical spikes, and I already have electrical protection upstream of this device, so I didn't care. Nitpicks: the logo and other model information printed prominently on the far right of the faceplate looks amateurish and detracts from its otherwise simple good-looks. Also, there are two status lights on the front panel: SURGE (red) and GROUND (green). Both lights are illuminated under normal conditions. Normal convention is that a r red light, especially right next to a green light, means that there is a problem. This issue is of course no big deal - you can get used to it. But it makes it more difficult for a new user to quickly have a look at the status lights and know everything is OK, and it's typical of the design mistakes that inexperienced product engineers make. ## Frequently Bought Together - StarTech.com 8 Outlet Horizontal 1U Rack Mount PDU Power Strip for Network Server Racks - Surge Protection - 120V/15A - w/ 6ft Power Cord (RKPW081915) - Pyle 2-Pc 1U Server Rack Shelf, Vented Shelves for Good Air Circulation, Cantilever Mount, Wall Mount Rack, Universal Device, Cabinet Shelf, Computer Case Mounting Tray, Black-Pyle PLRSTN14UX2 - Rapink Patch Cables Cat6/ Cat6a 1ft (24 Pack) Slim, Cat6a Ethernet Patch Cable 10G Support, Snagless Cat 6 Patch Cable for Patch Panel to Switch, Flexiable Cat6 Ethernet Cable Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/6380565-startech-8-outlet-1u-pdu-120v-15a-surge-6ft-cord](https://www.desertcart.us/products/6380565-startech-8-outlet-1u-pdu-120v-15a-surge-6ft-cord) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
