Eaton IBAR12‑20ULTRA – 12‑Outlet Rack Surge Protector 3840 J

Overview

The Eaton IBAR12‑20ULTRA is a rack‑mount surge protector and basic power distribution strip engineered for transient suppression and line noise filtering in IT, AV, telecom, and industrial environments. It is used by network engineers, data center technicians, and facilities teams to protect downstream gear from voltage spikes, surges, and EMI/RFI noise that can degrade or disrupt hardware operation. This unit combines power distribution with surge filtering in a single‑space (1U) rack footprint.

Electrically, the IBAR12‑20ULTRA supports 120 V AC single‑phase power with a 20 A maximum line current rating via a NEMA 5‑20P plug and delivers surge energy absorption of 3840 joules. It features twelve outlets — two front‑mounted NEMA 5‑15R receptacles for general loads and ten rear NEMA 5‑20R receptacles for higher‑current devices — with isolated filter banks to reduce interaction and noise between connected devices.

This surge protector mounts in a 1U horizontal rack space of standard 19‑inch enclosures but can also be installed wall‑mount or under‑counter using included detachable mounting flanges. The all‑metal housing and status LEDs provide durable installation and real‑time indication of power and protection status.

The device is appropriate for protecting servers, storage, networking hardware, and AV equipment in rack environments where surge suppression and line noise mitigation are needed upstream of PDUs or UPS systems. It is not a UPS (no battery backup) and does not provide managed or switched outlet features; for requirements like outlet control or remote monitoring, a metered or managed PDU should be selected.
