• Transportation and venues: wayfinding, gate displays, concourses, and scheduled event spaces

Tripp Lite Small Parts Highlighted

• Power It! 6-Outlet Power Strip, 6 ft. Cord, Black Housing (10A, 250V, 18/3 SJT)
  A compact power distribution solution for credenzas, under-table installs, equipment shelves, and mobile AV carts. The 10A rating supports typical low-draw AV devices (streamers, switchers, small amplifiers, codecs) while the 6 ft cord eases placement in furniture and racks. The black housing blends into typical rack spaces and modern AV furniture.
• 12" Power Cord Splitter, NEMA 5-15P to 2x NEMA 5-15R (16/3)
  Short “Y” splitter that powers two low-current devices from a single receptacle, helping reduce power strip clutter behind displays or inside credenzas. The 16/3 construction provides durability while keeping excess cable to a minimum for better airflow and service access.
• 3 ft 18 AWG Outlet Saver Power Extension Cord, NEMA 5-15P to NEMA 5-15R (TAA Compliant)
  A space-saving extension that moves bulky plugs or external power supplies off your UPS or surge protector so you don’t block adjacent outlets. Helpful in dense racks and small furniture cavities. TAA compliant for government procurement requirements.
• Cross-Reference Convenience: Winston Equal
  For spec alignment and substitutions, reference Winston Equal: AC-110-10A1-01BK and AC-110-10A1-03BK where applicable in bids and standards-driven projects.

Common AV System Applications

• Unified communications: neat under-table power for codecs, tabletop touch panels, small DSPs, and network extenders
• Digital signage: tidy power runs behind displays, players, and media converters using short outlet saver cords
• Video walls and LED: dedicated power access for control modules, processors, and KVM in tight rack spaces
• Control rooms: reliable power distribution to encoders/decoders, workstations, and reference displays
• Lecture capture and streaming: structured power layouts for capture appliances, mixers, and monitoring
• Rental and staging: quick-turn power management for flypacks, portable racks, and mobile AV carts

Benefits for Integrators and Facility Teams

• Cleaner installs: outlet saver power extension cords (NEMA 5-15P to 5-15R) keep UPS and surge protector outlets free and accessible
• Space efficiency: short 12" power cord splitters reduce bulk behind displays and inside compact furniture
• Faster service: organized power strips and labeled drops reduce downtime during moves, adds, and changes
• Procurement fit: TAA compliant options support government and public sector projects
• Specification clarity: Winston Equal references simplify cross-brand comparison for standardized builds

Integration Scenarios and Best Practices

1. Plan device groups by current draw. Keep total load within the strip’s and branch circuit’s rating (e.g., 10A for select Tripp Lite power strips).
2. Preserve UPS and surge outlets. Use 3 ft outlet saver cords to relocate bulky plugs and external PSUs, avoiding blocked receptacles.
3. Minimize cable slack. Short 12" splitters and right-length cords improve airflow and make troubleshooting faster.
4. Standardize connectors. NEMA 5-15P to 5-15R accessories reduce adapter sprawl and simplify spares management.
5. Label everything. When paired with clearly printed SmartWire terminations, you can identify power paths and associated signal lines in seconds.
6. Pre-stage where possible. Build out racks and furniture harnesses offsite using RackPacks so installation windows stay short and predictable.

Industry-Specific Notes

• Corporate/Enterprise: Under-table power strips and outlet savers keep conference tables clean while supporting BYOD dongles, small hubs, and soft codec appliances.
• Education: In teacher stations and AV carts, 6-outlet strips and short splitters cut clutter, making setup and daily use more reliable.
• Healthcare: For collaboration and training spaces, compact power solutions help manage peripherals and displays; select building-approved components for patient care areas.
• Government/Public Sector: TAA compliant 5-15P to 5-15R outlet saver cords assist with procurement requirements and standardized deployments.
• Industrial/Manufacturing: Ruggedized 16/3 and 18/3 cords withstand routine movement around HMI stations and maintenance consoles while keeping floor space clear.
• Broadcast/Live Events: Flypacks benefit from short splitters to power converters and encoders without overfilling power strips or blocking UPS outlets.

Selection Tips

• Choose by load and gauge: 16/3 or 18/3 based on device draw and run length
• Confirm plug type: NEMA 5-15P to 5-15R for standard North American AV gear
• Right-size the length: 12" splitters and 3 ft outlet savers reduce excess cable inside racks and furniture
• Consider environment: black housing power strips blend into racks and credenzas for a clean look
• Procurement needs: TAA compliant options for government and public sector bids
• Spec alignment: reference Winston Equal part numbers where cross-brand comparison is required

Frequently Asked Questions: Tripp Lite

• Can I use the Tripp Lite Power It! 6-Outlet Power Strip in an AV rack or behind a UPS?

  Yes. It is a compact distribution option for ProAV racks when upstream surge protection or a UPS is already in place. Specs: 10A, 250V, 18/3 SJT with a 6 ft cord and black housing. Always keep the combined load under 10A and the branch-circuit rating, and avoid daisy-chaining power strips.

• When should I choose the 12 in NEMA 5-15P to dual 5-15R splitter versus the 3 ft 18 AWG outlet saver cord?

  Use the 12 in 16/3 splitter to turn one outlet into two at the device side, helping keep UPS or surge outlets free; note the two connected devices still share the same current limit. Use the 3 ft 18 AWG outlet saver (5-15P to 5-15R) to extend short power leads, reduce strain at tight receptacles, or relocate wall-wart bricks; it is TAA compliant for government and enterprise bids. For higher-draw gear choose 16/3; for lighter peripherals 18 AWG is suitable.

• How do the Winston Equal part numbers AC-110-10A1-01BK and AC-110-10A1-03BK map to Tripp Lite ProAV power accessories?

  They are cross-reference equivalents within this category. Match by connector type (NEMA 5-15P/5-15R), length (approximately 12 in vs 3 ft), conductor size (16/3 vs 18/3), and electrical rating (up to 10A). If these attributes align with your spec and load, the Winston Equal and Tripp Lite options can be used interchangeably in your AV rack build.
