CyberPower CPS1220RMS Surge Protector, 12 Outlets

El cable para conectar a la corriente tiene la configuración para 18 amperes, por lo que tienes que conectarlo a) en un contacto especial o b) remplazar la punta del conector por una estándar.

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.

Me gusto la calidad de la regleta, esta la tengo montada en un rack casero donde tengo un server, DVR, Switches Poe, AP, etc. Esta regleta la tengo conectada al respaldo del Ups de 1200 watts, por lo que no te visto ningún problema de funcionamiento.

Great deal on a great product. I recently needed to create a “mobile kitchen island” and attaching this to it I’m now able to move my mobile kitchen wherever I please. The 20A and heavy duty cord for this price is an extremely great value. All the outlets are 20A as well which is nice. There’s also a reset button and power switch if you need them. The only thing missing is network capabilities, but for this price I didn’t expect it to have it anyway.

There does seem to be a shipping issue with this product though. The box it comes in is very thin and it seems to be thrown into another box that is barely bigger than the box it comes in. This means there’s no padding for the rack mounts on the sides. Twice I’ve received bent rack mounts because of this. The first was bent all the way upon itself, making it unusable should I ever want to rack it. The second arrived slightly bent, but with the proper tools can be easily bent back so I decided to keep it.

The price is good, the amount of outlets and Joule protection are good too, unfortunately my unit arrived with one of the rack mounting tabs warped out of shape. The box it came in is extremely flimsy, I was lucky it was packed into another box with something else I ordered because this box on it’s own would have not survived the shipping. I can see where the original box was damaged causing the mount to be bent.

All outlets work though I have not had a chance to test them with a ground meter yet. A few screws and bolts for mounting would have been nice but these are not included. The design is fairly solid, it’s metal but a soft metal that allows bending of the mounting tabs pretty easy (so I was able to bend it back the way it should be with my hands). The spacing between the outlets on the back is great for use with adapters (routers, firewalls, weird shaped plugs).

The power button is covered with a plastic cover. While a nice touch, it seems like it was not part of the original design and slapped on afterwards. It’s very thin so probably won’t survive very long if you use it often. It also makes the overall design look cheap as it really takes away from the solid matte black design.

The 3 LED lights (Power, Ground, Surge // Orange, Green, Red) are nice but the power LED is ridiculously bright!! The Ground and Surge LED’s are a subtle matte glow but the Power LED can light up a small room (I tested this). There is no reason for it to be this bright specially since the power button itself has an LED in it too.

I’ll adjust this review once I test every outlet with a ground meter and a heavy load. Overall it will do what it needs to do, is very compact (depth) and the long (thick and sturdy) power cord is nice too. Packaging needs to be addressed as does the choice in Power LED.

Update: Went from a 3 star to a 4 star rating. Started a chat with Amazon to say the unit was damaged. I was offered a replacement unit or a $10 partial refund. I went for the $10 to save me the hassle. This now made the product/price more awesome so I recommend contacting Amazon support if your unit arrives (or has arrived) damaged. Smooth support from Amazon.

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 current

I 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.
