Eaton PS7224-20 24-Outlet Vertical Power Strip 20A 120V

Overview

The Eaton PS7224-20 is a vertical multi-outlet power distribution strip designed for IT engineers and facility operators requiring high outlet density in rack, raceway, or bench-mounted environments. It addresses the need for distributing 120V power to multiple devices without deploying full rack PDU systems.

This unit delivers 20A at 120V AC and provides 24 output receptacles, including a mix of NEMA 5-15R and 5-20R outlets. It connects via a NEMA 5-20P plug and includes a 15 ft (4.57 m) power cord, enabling flexible placement relative to upstream power sources. A built-in 20A circuit breaker and lighted switch with locking cover provide controlled power distribution and protection against overload conditions.

The PS7224-20 is commonly deployed in IDF closets, network racks, telecom cabinets, and industrial workbenches where multiple low-to-mid power devices such as switches, routers, and lab equipment require centralized power access. Its 72-inch strip format supports both vertical rack mounting and horizontal installation in raceways.

From an integration standpoint, the unit operates within standard North American 120V ecosystems and is compatible with upstream UPS systems or branch circuits. The aluminum housing supports installation inside 19-inch racks (0U vertical mounting) or along cabinet frames using included mounting clips.

A practical deployment includes installing the PS7224-20 in a network rack supporting patch panels, access switches, and firewall appliances. The high outlet count eliminates the need for multiple smaller strips, reducing cable clutter and simplifying power routing within the rack.

This device should not be used in environments requiring monitored or switched PDUs, three-phase distribution, or higher current capacities (30A+). It also lacks surge filtration beyond basic protection, making it unsuitable for sensitive equipment requiring conditioned or isolated power.
