First off the price is amazing for a rack mounted surge protector, had I room for this in my current rack I'd buy one as I do have devices near the rack that are not backed by the UPS.
However there are some things you may wish to consider before buying this:
1. Its a real shame that these are not mounted at a 90 Degree Angle, after using one that has this design I see little reason to go back, especially if you have a lot of "wall warts"
2. Along the same lines, while the back is spaced out well (if they had just angled it right) the front could have been better spaced out to again support more wall warts.
3. Realize that this is a surge protector, in many cases when you're rack mounting items, chances are you have a rack mounted UPS powering the rack, you never want to plug in a surge protector into a UPS, you want a pure power strip.
I usually recommend this Tripp Lite RS-1215-RA https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006B834 however this is more than double the cost of this current slick deal.
Note: this thing is meant to be rack mounted, so it's bigger than it looks. Check out the Staples pictures for a better idea of the size and shape: https://www.staples.com/cyberpowe..._IM

And CyberPower has always been the lower-budget alternative to Tripp-Lite or APC power handling devices. The closer equivalent Tripp-Lite product has the same socket orientation, and even closer spacing on the back side (but also two more sockets) than this CyberPower model: https://a.co/d/0bbFcjxr

This would make this deal much more slick.

The whole strip can be mounted vertically I think, not the sockets rotated within the housing. Sorry for the confusion.
But on a related note, am I the only one with a growing collection of skinny power supply bricks with the blades rotated 90° so the brick can squeeze between other plugs on a power strip? Their "solution" is becoming itself a problem!
