I'm ok with switched as long as the relays fail closed. Those digital
loggers things would fail open, and if they had a failure on the
electronic side then all your outlets would be dead. They turned an
inconvenient failure into a catastrophic one.

Vertical zero U or horizontal 1U? Dumb or switched?
I am fond of Tripp-Lite RS-1215-RA for dumb 1U at tower sites. I
believe there is also a 20A version. If you’re going to plug wall
warts into it, you have to consider the various models and right angle
outlets or not and the spacing between the outlets.

For smart, switched, with built-in ATS, CyberPower makes some. They
are ruggedly built, but I had one go stupid on me, it might just need
a factory reset but I don’t trust it now.

There is only one output on the inverter, so one circuit. Mostly
spread out on two racks.
I can get some plug mold or long outlet strips. Just wondering of
there is something better for rack mount applications.

It depends on how much load per rack. Will you have 100w per rack for
40 racks, or 1 rack with 3990w of load, and 10 racks with 1w. Each
rack on it's own circuit, or just daisy chained together?

While I try so hard to be 100% 48 VDC, there are always a few
devices that I have to power with AC.
I have 4000 watts of modular sine wave Exeltechs that have utility
power fail over. So I don’t know of a better solution.
However now I need to spread out that 4000 watts over several
racks in the off chance that something may need it in the future.
Anyone have outlet strip solutions they really like for racks?
