The Juice Goose JG9NS is a fundamental, unfiltered power distribution unit (PDU) designed for organizing and distributing AC power within 19-inch equipment racks. This model is a basic "power strip in a rack form factor," providing a centralized and safe method to connect multiple devices to a single AC source without the added features of surge protection or noise filtering. It is engineered for applications where power is already clean and protected by an upstream conditioner or UPS, or in non-critical setups where simple distribution is the only requirement. Typical use cases include secondary equipment racks, lighting control racks, or network closets where the priority is cable management and convenience rather than power conditioning.

Built with a sturdy steel chassis, the JG9NS is durable enough for permanent installation. It features a front-panel rocker switch that acts as a master power control for the entire outlet bank, allowing users to power up or down all connected devices with a single action. The unit lacks status lights or meters, keeping its design simple and focused on its core distribution function. The outlets are typically spaced to accommodate bulky IEC plugs, and the internal wiring is sufficient to handle the rated current without significant voltage drop.

Installation is straightforward: the unit is mounted vertically in a standard 19-inch rack, and its power cord is plugged into a wall outlet or dedicated circuit. By consolidating connections, the JG9NS reduces cable clutter, improves rack organization and airflow, and provides a single, accessible switch for the rack's power. The Juice Goose JG9NS offers a cost-effective and reliable solution for essential power distribution in professional environments where advanced protection is handled elsewhere in the system.
