8 Channel Rack Mount Power Strip with 15A Breaker - Clean Power

Our review of this 8 channel rack mount power strip finds it best suited to small rigs, DJ setups, and home AV or aquarium systems where tidy, switched power distribution matters. The single-space 19 in design replaces messy extension cords and lets the user control eight outlets individually with backlit rocker switches, while a front-mounted 15 amp resettable breaker protects the load. For anyone who needs simple, reliable switched power in a standard rack, the unit delivers solid build quality and straightforward functionality without needless complexity.

Key Features

• Eight switched channels: Individual on/off rocker switches let you power devices separately to reduce standby draw and make troubleshooting faster.
• 15 amp resettable breaker: The front-mounted breaker provides easy access to reset protection and prevents overloads on the whole strip.
• Single space 19 in rack mount: A compact 1U footprint fits standard racks and frees up space compared with multiple wall strips or extension cords.
• Rear 120V outlets: Eight three-prong plug sockets on the rear keep cables organized and out of sight for a cleaner setup.
• Backlit rocker switches: Lighted switches make it obvious which channels are live in low light, useful during shows or backstage work.

Who It's For

This power strip is ideal for mobile DJs, small studios, live sound techs, and hobbyists who need a compact, rackable way to switch multiple pieces of equipment. It also suits aquarium keepers and AV hobbyists who appreciated the reliable outlets and strong power connections reported by other users.

Those who need remote switching, networked power control, or surge suppression should look elsewhere, since this unit focuses on manual switched distribution and a single 15A breaker rather than advanced protection or remote management features.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Sturdy build and practical layout make it dependable for repeated use in DJ and AV setups.
• Individual lighted switches give clear, tactile control over each outlet during live operation.
• Compact 1U rack design and rear outlets reduce cable clutter in a rack or cabinet.

Cons

• Limited to manual switching and a single 15A protection point, so it lacks remote control or advanced surge filtering.
