ESSEX 24 OUTLET,15A VERTICAL POWER STRIP,CORDED,60"

The ESSEX 24 Outlet, 15A Vertical Power Strip, Corded, 60" is a practical high-density power distribution solution for AV racks, equipment closets, server cabinets, and other installations where multiple devices need clean, organized access to AC power. With 24 outlets arranged vertically, this style of power strip is designed to help reduce cable congestion and free up horizontal rack space, making it a strong fit for professional environments that prioritize serviceability and neat routing.

This product is especially useful for systems integrators, IT teams, and facility managers who need a straightforward way to power a large number of low- to moderate-demand devices from a single strip. Vertical mounting is ideal in full-height racks because it keeps outlets accessible along the side or rear of the rack while leaving the front and shelf space available for core components such as amplifiers, switches, routers, processors, and control hardware.

Who it is for

• AV integrators building rack-mounted distribution systems
• IT departments outfitting network or equipment cabinets
• Commercial installers needing orderly multi-device power access
• Facilities teams managing racks in telecom, education, corporate, or worship environments

Why buy this power strip

The main value is capacity and organization. A 24-outlet vertical format allows many devices to be powered from one location without relying on multiple small strips or awkward daisy-chaining. The corded design also adds flexibility for placement within a rack or enclosure, helping the installer route power in a way that suits the cabinet layout. For projects where outlet count and physical tidiness matter, this type of strip helps streamline the final build and makes future maintenance simpler.

Typical use cases

• Powering AV rack components in control rooms and presentation systems
• Distributing power to network gear in structured cabling cabinets
• Supporting modular equipment in commercial AV enclosures
• Organizing power for bench test or staging environments

Deployment guidance

Before installation, confirm the total connected load is within the strip’s 15A rating and coordinate with the branch circuit capacity. In rack applications, vertical mounting is generally preferred for space efficiency and cable management. Leave enough clearance for plug depth, especially when using larger power bricks or right-angle cords. When planning a complete rack, pair the strip with sensible cable dressing and circuit labeling so connected equipment can be identified and serviced quickly. As with any power distribution product, final installation should follow local electrical codes and the requirements of the facility.

If you need a simple, high-outlet-count vertical strip for a rack-centered power layout, this ESSEX model is aimed at practical deployment rather than unnecessary complexity. It is a clean fit for installations where dependable outlet access and orderly rack presentation are the priorities.
