Juice Goose JG 9 Rack Mount Power Distribution, 9 Outlets, 15A

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Juice Goose JG 9 is a 1U, 19-inch rack-mount power strip with nine NEMA 5-15 outlets: eight on the back, rotated for bulky power bricks, and one always-on outlet on the front. It has an illuminated power switch, a 15 amp breaker, a 12 amp continuous rating and basic MOV surge protection with line filtering, in a 7-inch-deep black steel chassis.

Clean, Switched Power for a Production Rack

Replace the tangle of household power strips on your cart with a single 1U unit that bolts into the rack. One switch brings the whole rack up or down, and the front outlet stays live for whatever you need to plug in mid-shoot. Inside, a fast-acting metal oxide varistor clamps voltage spikes and a filtering capacitor reduces AC line noise, which is a real step up from a bare outlet on location power or a generator.

Key Features

• Nine NEMA 5-15R outlets: eight rear, one front
• Rotated rear outlets: turned 90° so power bricks and wall warts don't block adjacent outlets
• Illuminated front switch: powers all eight rear outlets on and off at once
• Unswitched front outlet: stays on even when the rack is off, handy for a laptop, meter or work light
• 15 amp circuit breaker on the rear panel for overload protection
• Basic surge and noise protection from an MOV and line filtering capacitor
• 7-inch-deep black steel chassis, 1U, standard 19-inch rack mount
• Three-year warranty from Juice Goose

What Can You Run on a JG 9?

The JG 9 is rated for 12 amps continuous, roughly 1,440 watts at 120 volts shared across all nine outlets. That's plenty for a video village or DIT cart and for small LED fixtures. A typical setup (two monitors, two wireless video receivers, a router, a laptop charger and two 60W bi-color LED panels) draws about 380 watts. Larger fixtures such as 600W-plus LED heads or HMI ballasts should run on their own circuit or a dedicated distro.

Ideal For

• DIT and media management carts
• Video village and client monitoring
• Studio lighting control racks (DMX nodes, wireless DMX, network switches)
• Broadcast, streaming and live production fly packs

Frequently Asked Questions

How many outlets does the Juice Goose JG 9 have?

Nine NEMA 5-15R outlets: eight on the back, rotated 90 degrees so wall-wart power supplies don't block neighboring outlets, and one unswitched outlet on the front panel.

How much power can the JG 9 handle?

The JG 9 has a 12 amp continuous current rating and a 15 amp circuit breaker. On a 120 volt circuit, that's about 1,440 watts across all outlets combined.

Can I plug LED film lights into the JG 9?

Yes, as long as the total draw stays under 12 amps (about 1,440 watts). It suits small LED panels, tube lights, practicals, monitors and wireless video receivers. Larger fixtures such as 600W-plus LED heads or HMI ballasts should go on their own circuit.

Is the front outlet switched?

No. The front outlet stays live when the power switch is off. The eight rear outlets are controlled by the illuminated switch.

Does the JG 9 have surge protection?

It has basic protection: a fast-acting metal oxide varistor (MOV) that clamps voltage spikes, plus a filtering capacitor that reduces AC line noise.

What is the difference between the JG 9 and JG 9NS?

Both have nine outlets and a 12 amp rating. The JG 9 has an illuminated power switch; the JG 9NS has no switch, so its outlets are always on.

What is the warranty?

The JG 9 carries a three-year warranty from Juice Goose.
