Overview
The CyberPower CPS1215RMS is a 1U rackmount Rackbar surge protector designed to protect networking equipment, computers, and other connected electronics from power surges and electrical interference. It combines power distribution, surge suppression, and EMI/RFI filtering in a metal housing for rack and network installations.
The unit provides 12 NEMA 5-15R outlets, with six on the front and six on the rear. Its 120 V AC input, 15 A circuit breaker, and 15-foot power cord support installation in compatible server racks, data centers, network closets, and office environments.
The CPS1215RMS provides 1,800 joules of surge suppression and includes LED indicators for power, ground, and surge status. Its 1U rackmount form factor and cord retention tray help maintain an organized equipment installation. It is a surge protector, not a UPS, and does not provide battery backup.
