The Juice Goose CQ1515-RX is an intelligent rackmount power sequencer designed to automate and protect the startup and shutdown process of sensitive electronic systems. This unit prevents the damaging inrush current surge that occurs when multiple devices are powered on simultaneously by activating groups of outlets in a timed, sequential order. It is engineered for complex AV racks, broadcast systems, and data installations containing mixers, processors, amplifiers, and servers, ensuring that control systems boot first and high-draw amplifiers energize last, promoting system stability and longevity. The "3 Step" designation refers to its ability to control three distinct banks of outlets with programmable delays between each step.

In addition to sequencing, this unit incorporates the "RX" series multi-stage filtration and surge protection. This technology actively filters out electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI) from the power line, cleaning the AC supply to prevent noise from degrading audio and video signal quality. It also provides robust protection against voltage spikes and surges. The front panel includes status LEDs for each outlet bank and system power, along with a main power switch. Some models offer remote trigger inputs, allowing the sequencer to be activated by an external control system, such as a touch panel or automation controller.

Housed in a standard 1U or 2U steel rack-mountable chassis, the CQ1515-RX is built for professional 24/7 operation. By automating power-up/power-down sequences and providing clean, protected power, it safeguards expensive equipment, reduces operator error, and simplifies daily operation. This makes it an essential component for managing the power infrastructure of any mission-critical system where equipment protection and operational reliability are paramount.
