Overview
The Eaton Tripp Lite PS240810 is an 8-outlet power strip designed for distributing 120V AC power to multiple connected devices. It uses a 24-inch mountable aluminum housing, eight NEMA 5-15R receptacles, and a 10-foot NEMA 5-15P power cord. The housing supports both vertical and horizontal mounting for rack, raceway, workbench, office, industrial, and telecom applications.
Power Distribution and Mounting
The PS240810 provides eight standard NEMA 5-15R outlets with a 15A electrical rating. Its 24-inch housing can be mounted vertically or horizontally, while the 2.48-inch center-to-center outlet spacing provides clearance for connected plugs and power adapters.
Safety and Control
A built-in 15A circuit breaker provides overload protection for the power strip. The lighted two-position On/Off switch controls power to all outlets, and its transparent cover helps prevent accidental switch operation.
Key Features
- Eight NEMA 5-15R AC outlets for multi-device power distribution
- 120V, 15A electrical service with built-in circuit breaker
- 10-foot (3.05 m) SJT power cord with NEMA 5-15P input plug
- 24-inch aluminum housing supports vertical or horizontal mounting
- Lighted On/Off switch with transparent protective cover
Applications
The PS240810 is suited to installations requiring several AC convenience outlets in a compact, mountable form. Eaton identifies applications including office environments, rackmount installations, workbenches, industrial settings, and telecom equipment areas.
DC Supplies Product Note
The PS240810 is a power distribution strip rather than a surge protector or line-noise filter. Eaton's owner documentation specifically states that PS-Series models including the PS240810 do not provide surge or line-noise protection. Use it where multi-outlet AC distribution and overload protection are the required functions.
