A basic but functional power distributor.
Positive:
- No attached power cable - setup is easier and cleaner.
- Compatible with PowerCon TRU1 in and through (not Neutrik hardware), which seems likely to be the industry standard for the foreseeable future.
- Angled outlets make it easy to fit straight and right-angle plugs in tight racks.
- Possibility to reverse the rack ears.
No major issues, but some missing nice-to-haves:
- LED to indicate presence of power.
- Power switch - not essential since TRU1 can be disconnected under load (i.e. it's safe to just pull the plug even without a switch) but it would sometimes be nice to power off this rack without powering off whatever is connected to the power through connector.
- The power in+through connection block is permanently attached; it's not possible to re-attach it the other way up. If you want the power connectors on the left-hand side of the rack, they will be upside down.
