the t.racks Power MS6

I have one for a few months. I’ve been using the three rightmost sockets to separately power my monitors, racks and console (with a power conditioner on each line). Very convenient and low profile, sitting there in the bottom of the rack.

The quality is so-so at best. One of the switches started to fail to completely disconnect power and I get spurious brief power ups on a couple of devices connected to that socket. Another switch, one of the unused ones, is no longer turning off, it has lost its click.

I find it very surprising that a thing as simple as a switch can fail so ridiculously. One would think that as a civilization we would have solved the problem of reliability in switches long ago. Disappointing.

The power strip is exactly what I need in my rack shelf. It looks pretty sturdy at first sight, made of metal and featuring a thick power cable.

Wish it was built better though. Pretty faulty switches to begin with, as other customers have reported. On my unit, the spring mechanism in one of the switches is getting loose: it's a matter of time it will break and leave the switch always on.

Second issue, the thick cable going out from one of the sides. It wasn't an easy install on my shelf for sure.

Unfortunately there's no other option available in the market.
