About the Juice Goose RP100-15A Rackpower 100 for 19" Rack Systems (15A)
The Juice Goose RP100-15A Rackpower 100 is a straightforward, reliable power distribution unit (PDU) engineered to provide basic, high-current AC power distribution within standard 19-inch equipment racks. Designed for applications where clean, unfiltered power from a dedicated circuit is the primary requirement, this unit consolidates multiple devices onto a single 15-amp source, helping to organize cabling and eliminate the hazards of daisy-chaining consumer power strips. It is a fundamental component in live sound amplifier racks, lighting control racks, server cabinets, and broadcast video setups, where the priority is delivering adequate current capacity to power-hungry equipment reliably and safely.
Constructed with a heavy-duty steel chassis, the RP100-15A is built for durability in both permanent installations and touring environments. Its design centers on a front-panel illuminated rocker switch or circuit breaker that acts as a master power disconnect for the entire rack, providing both overload protection and a convenient, visible point of control. The internal wiring utilizes thick-gauge conductors to minimize voltage drop and ensure stable power delivery under the full 15-amp load. While it lacks the advanced filtering or surge protection of more specialized conditioners, its robust and simple design makes it an exceptionally reliable workhorse for distributing power from a known-good source.
Installation is simple: the unit is mounted vertically in the rack, and its NEMA 5-15P plug is connected to a properly rated 15-amp AC outlet. By centralizing all power connections into one managed strip, it significantly reduces cable clutter, improves rack airflow, and enhances overall safety. The Juice Goose RP100-15A Rackpower 100 offers a no-frills, professional solution for essential power distribution, forming a critical piece of infrastructure in any rack that demands reliable, high-capacity power delivery.
