Surge protection in the title, and not one figure behind it

Brennenstuhl Alu-Line 19-inch strip, 8 earthed sockets at 45°, aluminium case, 2 m lead

Eight earthed sockets set at an angle so that moulded plugs fit, in an aluminium case built for a cabinet — sold on surge protection that the page never once quantifies.

Brennenstuhl Alu-Line silver and black 19-inch power strip with eight angled earthed sockets

Brennenstuhl Alu-Line 19-inch strip, 8 earthed sockets at 45°, aluminium case, 2 m lead

Eight earthed sockets set at an angle so that moulded plugs fit, in an aluminium case built for a cabinet — sold on surge protection that the page never once quantifies.

Joule rating
Not published on the listing — no joule figure appears in the title or in any of the five bullets. Surge protection is named in the title and is never quantified anywhere on the page
Clamping voltage
Not published on the listing — no voltage protection rating and no clamping level appears
Response time
Not published on the listing — no figure in nanoseconds and no timing of any kind is given
Standards named
Not published on the listing — no standard is named for the protection. The cable is specified as H05VV-F 3G1.5, which is a cable designation rather than a surge standard, and no IEC 61643 or UL 1449 reference appears
Outlet count
Eight — stated in the title and in the first and fourth bullets, as earthed sockets. The count is consistent everywhere it appears
Outlet spacing
Not published as a distance — no millimetre figure between sockets is given. What the fourth bullet publishes instead is an arrangement: the sockets are set at 45°, which it names as the reason angled plugs fit
Protected line types
Mains only — no telephone, coaxial or network line is named as protected anywhere on the page
Cable length
2 m — stated in the first bullet, as an H05VV-F 3G1.5 lead, with increased contact protection named alongside it
Status indicators
Not published on the listing — no protection light, no power light and no switch is named. The bullets describe the housing, the socket arrangement and the intended cabinet, and never an indicator

On the listing

A Brennenstuhl Alu-Line 19-inch power strip, 8-way, with surge protection; an eight-way earthed socket strip with a 2 m cable of H05VV-F 3G1.5 and increased contact protection; a box containing one Alu-Line strip in silver and black, for control cabinets, described as being of the best Brennenstuhl quality; a housing described as shapely, timeless and stable, in aluminium; a 19-inch strip with earthed sockets in a 45° arrangement, suitable also for angled plugs; and a strip named as ideal for building into 19-inch network or server cabinets.

Surge protection, named and never measured

The words are in the title. The figures are nowhere on the page.

No joule rating. No clamping voltage. No response time. No standard named that would imply any of them.

That is the finding, and it is worth stating without softening it, because those three numbers are what a surge protector is. The joule figure describes the energy the protective components are specified to absorb before they are used up. The clamping voltage says at what level the device starts diverting. The response time is quoted in nanoseconds on listings that quote it at all.

All three strips in this hub are in this position, and that says more about how this corner of the market writes its listings than about any one product. It also means the choice between them has to be made on the socket strip rather than on the protection, which is what the rest of this page does.

Eight sockets at forty-five degrees

The fourth bullet describes the arrangement, and it is the most practically useful line on the listing.

Mains leads very often end in a moulded plug whose body comes away sideways. On a strip with square-set outlets those bodies collide, and an eight-way strip becomes a five-way one the moment real equipment is plugged into it.

Setting every socket at 45° lets the plug bodies lie the same way and clear each other. It is a small geometric answer to a common annoyance, and it is why this arrangement appears on strips built for cabinets.

What is not published is a spacing in millimetres. A wide mains adapter is still a question to test rather than to calculate — and no listing on this shelf publishes a spacing.

The aluminium case, and the cabinet it is for

Three bullets circle the same point: this is made to be built into something.

An aluminium housing, described as stable. A supply box naming control cabinets. And a closing bullet naming 19-inch network and server cabinets outright.

The strip is silver and black, and the first bullet adds increased contact protection on the sockets — the shrouding that keeps fingers away from live parts as a plug goes in.

The cable, specified rather than described

Two metres of H05VV-F 3G1.5.

That is a designation rather than an adjective, and it is more than several listings on this shelf manage. It names the cable construction and the three conductors at one and a half square millimetres each, which is what the current rating of the strip rests on.

No indicator

Nothing here names a light.

The consequence is the same on every strip in this hub and it is specific to this kind of product: protective components degrade a little with every event they absorb, and when they are exhausted the strip goes on supplying power exactly as it did before. Nothing changes that you can see or hear.

A protection status light is the only outward sign, and the buying advice for this hub asks for one for that reason. This page cannot report one.

Before ordering

Choose this on the socket arrangement and the housing, which are its real arguments and are clearly published. Treat the protection as unquantified, because the page never quantifies it. And take anything about how the strip is supplied, what it feeds and what protection exists upstream to the manufacturer’s instructions and the local wiring rules — this site reads listings and does not advise on electrical installations.

It is stocked on the British Amazon store as well, in that country’s own currency. The range above leaves those out: it counts euro stores and no others.

The Italian Amazon price runs past 1.6× the cheapest store. A gap that size normally marks a reshipper and not a seller in the country, so that listing stays out of the range above.

  • LogiLink PDU8A01 black 19-inch rack power strip with IEC C13 outlets

    Logilink PDU8A01, 19-inch 1U strip, C13 outlets, 10000 A stated, 2 m lead, 483 × 45 × 45 mm

    A rack strip that prints one protection figure and prints it in amperes, on a page where the joule rating, the clamping voltage and the response time are all absent.

    Joule rating
    Not published on the listing — no joule figure appears anywhere. What the third bullet gives instead is a maximum of 10000 A against the surge protection, and an ampere is a current rather than an energy. The two describe different quantities and this page does not convert one into the other
    Clamping voltage
    Not published on the listing — no voltage protection rating and no clamping level appears. The second bullet gives 250 V AC as the supply rating of the strip, which is what it runs on and not the level at which anything begins to divert
    Response time
    Not published on the listing — no figure in nanoseconds and no timing of any kind is given
    Standards named
    IEC 60320 — stated in the title and in the second bullet, and it is the standard that specifies the C13 appliance coupler rather than anything to do with surges. No surge-protection standard is named: neither the IEC 61643 family nor UL 1449 appears on the page
    Outlet count
    Eight in the title, seven in the bullets — the title calls the strip 8-way and the second bullet lists 7× IEC60320 C13 sockets. Both figures are printed on the same page and the listing does not reconcile them, so both are reported here as written
    Outlet spacing
    Not published on the listing — no spacing between outlets is given. The fifth bullet publishes the overall dimensions instead, at 483 × 45 × 45 mm, which is the 19-inch rack width at one rack unit of height
    Protected line types
    Mains only — no telephone, coaxial or network line is named anywhere on the page as being protected
    Cable length
    2 m — stated in the third bullet, as an H05VV-F 3 × 1.5 mm² lead with a plug fitted
    Status indicators
    Not published on the listing — no protection status light, no power light and no indicator of any kind is named. The buying advice for this hub asks for a light that shows the protection is still present, and this page does not describe one

  • Pyle PDBC70EU 19-inch rack power strip with six front switches and six rear sockets

    Pyle PDBC70EU, 6 rear sockets with front switches, mains filter named, 1.83 m lead, about 5.3 cm high

    Six sockets on the back and six switches on the front, in a metal case whose listing says plainly that it does not fit one rack unit — with the surge protection named and never given a number.

    Joule rating
    Not published on the listing — no joule figure appears in the title or in any of the five bullets. The second bullet names integrated surge protection and a mains filter and gives no figure for either
    Clamping voltage
    Not published on the listing — no voltage protection rating and no clamping level appears anywhere
    Response time
    Not published on the listing — no figure in nanoseconds and no timing of any kind is given
    Standards named
    Not published on the listing — no surge standard is named. The cable is described by its cross-section, at 3 × 1.5 mm², which is a construction figure rather than a standard
    Outlet count
    Six — stated in the title and in the first bullet, as six earthed sockets on the rear panel, each individually switchable from a switch on the front. It is the lowest outlet count on this shelf and the only one where every socket has its own switch
    Outlet spacing
    Not published on the listing — no distance between sockets is given. The sockets are on the rear and the switches on the front, which is an arrangement rather than a spacing
    Protected line types
    Mains only — no telephone, coaxial or network line is named. The second bullet names an AC noise filter alongside the surge protection, described as reducing interference, hum and voltage spikes for mixing desks, audio interfaces, amplifiers and power supplies
    Cable length
    1.83 m — stated in the fourth bullet, at 3 × 1.5 mm². It is the shortest lead published on this shelf
    Status indicators
    Not published on the listing — no protection status light is named. What the first and third bullets publish instead are front-panel switches, one per socket, which report and control the supply rather than the state of the protection

  • EMOS B9674 sealed lead-acid AGM battery of 12 V and 7.2 Ah with Faston terminals

    EMOS B9674 AGM cell, 12 V, 7.2 Ah, Faston 6.3 mm tabs, 151 × 65 × 94 mm

    The one cell on this shelf whose title carries every figure a fitting decision needs: voltage, amp-hours, tab type, tab width in millimetres and all three case dimensions.

    Cell reference
    B9674 — stated in the first bullet in brackets, as EMOS B9674. It is the maker’s own code for the cell rather than a code belonging to any UPS
    Cartridge reference
    Not published on the listing — no UPS maker’s cartridge code appears, and no machine is named that the cell is sold as a replacement for. The title names the applications instead: UPS units, alarm systems
    Voltage rating
    12 V — stated in the title and in the second bullet. It is one of two figures on this page that must match what comes out of the machine, and the amp-hour figure is the other
    Amp-hour rating
    7.2 Ah — stated in the title and in the second bullet. The listing publishes no watt-hour product, and this page does not calculate one from the two figures printed here
    Terminal type
    Faston tabs — stated in the title. It is one of two listings on this shelf that names a terminal type at all
    Terminal width
    6.3 mm — stated in the title as a Faston 6.3 mm connection. No other listing on this shelf publishes a tab width in millimetres, and it is the figure that decides whether a cell of the right rating actually connects
    Case dimensions
    151 × 65 × 94 mm — stated in the title and again in the second bullet, which calls the format compact and suitable for a wide range of applications
    Cells per pack
    One — the title, the bullets and the contents all describe a single 12 V block. No pack count and no series or parallel arrangement is published
    Assembled or loose supply
    Loose — a single cell with no interconnect and no insulated tabs described. The first bullet adds that the AGM construction is leak-proof and that the cell can be used in any orientation
    Stated design life
    Up to 5 years — stated in the fourth bullet, alongside integrated safety systems and an instruction to charge the cell fully before first use. A design life is a manufacturer specification under stated conditions and is neither a warranty nor a prediction about one battery

  • akku-net black sealed lead-acid replacement battery of 12 V for an APC Smart-UPS

    akku-net Replacement cell for APC Smart-UPS 750, 12 V, 7.2 Ah / 86 Wh, 151 × 65 × 94 mm, 4920 g

    A cell whose specification bullet reads like a data sheet — voltage, capacity, watt-hours, cell type, three dimensions, weight and colour — and which still leaves the terminals entirely undescribed.

    Cell reference
    Not published on the listing — no cell code appears in the bullets. The reference carried in the record is the same string as the product barcode, and this page reports it as the record holds it rather than substituting anything else
    Cartridge reference
    Not published on the listing — no APC cartridge code appears anywhere. The title names the machine instead, as the APC Smart-UPS 750
    Voltage rating
    12 V — stated in the title and first in the specification bullet, which opens on voltage
    Amp-hour rating
    7.2 Ah — stated in the specification bullet, with 86 Wh printed immediately beside it. Both are the maker’s figures and both are reported here as printed; the watt-hour number is published rather than derived by this page
    Terminal type
    Not published on the listing — the specification bullet runs through voltage, capacity, cell quality, cell type, dimensions, weight, colour and compatibility, and never reaches the terminals
    Terminal width
    Not published on the listing — no millimetre figure for the tabs appears, which follows from the terminal type being absent
    Case dimensions
    151 mm × 65 mm × 94 mm — stated in the specification bullet. It is the same footprint two other cells on this shelf publish at the same rating
    Cells per pack
    Not published on the listing — no count appears, and no series or parallel arrangement is described. The bullets speak throughout of a single battery
    Assembled or loose supply
    Not published on the listing — nothing says whether an interconnect is fitted or the tabs arrive insulated. The fourth bullet describes the replacement as something the owner carries out, without describing what arrives
    Stated design life
    Not published on the listing — no period and no condition is given. The second bullet calls the cell maintenance-free and names power supply, standby installations and security and alarm equipment as its intended uses

    Fiamm Replacement cell for APC Back-UPS ES 700, 12 V, 7200 mAh / 86.4 Wh, 151 × 65 × 94 mm

    One of two cells on this shelf whose maker publishes the watt-hour figure itself, and the only one that gives its capacity in milliamp-hours rather than amp-hours.

    Cell reference
    Not published on the listing — no code describing the cell type, its case format or its rating appears in the bullets. The record carries the maker’s order reference, which is what the model field above holds
    Cartridge reference
    Not published on the listing — no APC cartridge code such as the RBC family appears. The machine is named instead, as the APC Back-UPS ES 700, in the title
    Voltage rating
    12 V — stated in the title and in the third bullet
    Amp-hour rating
    7200 mAh — stated in the third bullet, in milliamp-hours rather than in amp-hours, with 86.4 Wh given immediately beside it. Both figures are the maker’s and both are reported here in the units the maker printed them in. The watt-hour figure is published rather than derived, which is why it appears at all
    Terminal type
    Not published on the listing — no Faston tab, no bolted post and no designation is named in any of the five bullets
    Terminal width
    Not published on the listing — no millimetre figure appears for the tabs. One cell on this shelf publishes a width and the other five do not
    Case dimensions
    151 mm × 65 mm × 94 mm — stated in the fourth bullet. Three cells in this hub carry exactly these three numbers, which is the standard footprint for a sealed cell of this rating
    Cells per pack
    Not published on the listing — no count and no series or parallel arrangement appears. The bullets describe a single battery without ever saying so in a number
    Assembled or loose supply
    Not published on the listing — nothing says whether an interconnect is fitted or the tabs arrive insulated. The first bullet calls it an original battery and the second calls it high-grade new stock
    Stated design life
    Not published on the listing — no period and no conditions are given. The fifth bullet claims cells of the highest quality, which is a claim rather than a specification
