About the Juice Goose JG11.0-20A Power Distribution Center for 19" Rack Systems
The Juice Goose JG11.0-20A is a heavy-duty power distribution unit engineered to deliver high-current AC power reliably and safely within a standard 19-inch equipment rack. This PDU is designed for professional audio, video, and IT installations where the primary requirement is robust power distribution rather than built-in conditioning. It takes a single 20-amp input and distributes it across eleven outlets, providing ample capacity for power-hungry equipment such as power amplifiers, large lighting controllers, server chassis, and broadcast gear. Its fundamental purpose is to consolidate multiple devices onto a properly rated circuit, eliminating the hazards and clutter associated with daisy-chained consumer power strips and ensuring stable voltage delivery under substantial load.
Constructed with a rugged steel chassis, the JG11.0-20A is built for both permanent installation and the physical demands of touring. The unit features a front-panel illuminated rocker switch or circuit breaker that serves as a master power disconnect for the entire rack, offering both overload protection and a convenient, visible control point. The internal wiring utilizes thick-gauge conductors to minimize voltage drop and heat generation, ensuring efficient power transfer even when operating near its full 20-amp capacity. This straightforward, no-frills design prioritizes reliability and high-current capability above all else.
Installation is simple, involving vertical rack mounting and connecting the unit's heavy-duty NEMA plug to a dedicated 20-amp outlet. By centralizing power connections into a single, managed strip, the JG11.0-20A significantly improves rack organization, enhances airflow by reducing cable tangles, and provides a single point of control for the entire system's mains power. It serves as a critical, foundational piece of infrastructure for any professional rack that demands reliable, high-capacity power distribution.
