Hullo and Ni!

Anybody out there got any experience(*) Shocked of these? (Or similar)

I want a power dist rack mount unit, to power/depower rack boxes without "fart-arssing" arround at ter'back of rack Embarassed

Power consumption indication woul be nice Very Happy . Keyboard initiation would be great also.
I could "cobble" one up with rocker switches and suitable wires, but it would mean getting out of my chair to "Rock" the switch Shocked

Regds Grizz.

my rack mounted ups by apc is great. If you run windows you can use there software to not only graph and keep track of voltages and power consumption. Not sure if that has the same functionality but most APC come with lots of bells and whistles. For reliability I've found none better than APC. Infact went on a computer call last weekend that my ups isn't working anymore, was a APC asked when the battery was last changed, never, UPS was over 5 years old and worked up till about 2 weeks ago when it could no longer hold a charge.
