The Sanus Foundations Component Series CAPS12 vertical power strip and surge protector is built to organize, guard, and power essential rack equipment with efficiency and ease. Featuring eight outlets—two of which are spaced specifically for transformers—the CAPS12 maximizes usability in tight rack environments where bulky adapters can otherwise crowd sockets. A compact 10" power cord adds flexible routing options, letting you reach power sources without stretching cables across the rack. Designed to mount vertically on rear rack rails, this 12U power strip delivers reliable surge protection and clean cable management for AV, IT, and broadcast installations. With all mounting hardware included, installation is straightforward, turning crowded racks into streamlined power stations that keep gear running smoothly day after day.
- Space-saving vertical 12U rack-mount design: The CAPS12 is purpose-built to mount vertically on rear rack rails, freeing valuable horizontal space for servers, switches, patch panels, and other equipment. In tight rooms or busy control centers, this vertical approach reduces clutter and simplifies cable routing, enabling technicians to access power outlets without stepping over or around bulky power strips. The 12U footprint integrates neatly with other standard rack components while maintaining a slim profile that minimizes exposure to airflow obstructions. The black finish blends with most equipment racks, delivering a professional appearance and a cohesive look across your installed gear. The unit’s compact height also makes it easier to position between devices, so you can maximize rack density without compromising accessibility or safety. All mounting hardware is included, so you can complete a secure installation with minimal downtime and no extra trips to the hardware store.
- Transformer-friendly eight-outlet design with two dedicated transformer outlets: A common challenge in rack setups is bulky adapters or transformers blocking adjacent outlets. The CAPS12 addresses this with two transformer-friendly outlets that are spaced specifically to accommodate larger power adapters, preventing overlap and ensuring each device has a dedicated, accessible socket. In addition to these two thoughtfully placed outlets, you have six standard outlets to power servers, routers, audio interfaces, media players, and other critical equipment. This configuration promotes better power distribution within the rack and reduces the need to chain power strips or rearrange devices to free up outlets. The included surge protection adds an extra layer of defense, guarding against spikes and voltage irregularities that can threaten uptime and hardware longevity in demanding environments.
- Flexible 10-inch power cord for versatile placement: At 10 inches, the CAPS12’s power cord is long enough to reach a nearby power source without creating excessive slack that can clutter the back of the rack. This compact cord length makes cable management simpler, allowing you to route the cord cleanly along the rear rails or hide it behind devices for a tidy installation. The internal design supports reliable power delivery across all eight outlets, so you can connect critical gear confidently without worrying about cord strain or interference. In busy racks where multiple bundles of cables converge, having a shorter, predictable cord length helps technicians trace power paths quickly during maintenance or reconfigurations. The result is a professional, organized rack environment that promotes airflow and serviceability.
- Durable surge protection for critical gear: The CAPS12 isn’t just a passive power strip—it’s a surge protector built to shield connected devices from voltage spikes, transients, and brownouts. By safeguarding servers, switches, audio/video interfaces, and monitoring equipment, this unit helps extend the life of costly gear and reduces the risk of downtime caused by power anomalies. The rugged construction is designed to withstand the rigors of rack usage, including frequent reconfigurations and routine servicing. With eight outlets ready to support a mix of devices, you gain reliable power distribution that supports uptime, system stability, and consistent performance across your rack ecosystem. It’s an essential backbone for studios, control rooms, data closets, and other environments where dependable power is non-negotiable.
- Easy installation with included mounting hardware: SANUS ships the CAPS12 with all the pieces needed to mount it quickly and securely to rear rack rails. The included mounting brackets and hardware streamline the setup process, so you don’t have to source mismatched fasteners or struggle with alignment. This means faster deployment in new racks or upgrades to existing installations, enabling technicians to focus on configuring devices rather than wrestling with mounting. Once mounted, simply connect the 10" cord to a suitable power source, plug in your devices, and manage cables with standard rack management practices. The CAPS12 delivers a clean, professional look and dependable power distribution right out of the box, helping to keep your rack environment organized and efficient.

Great quality. Easy to clean. Nice appearance.
Color: Red, Size: 4.3-Quart
Solid, heavy pot for cooking and baking. I bought it mainly for making soups, stews and breads. I have only tried soups thus far. The pot cleaned up very easily. The bottom of the pot heated uniformly. Nothing was stuck to the pot when I was simmering on the glass top stove. I have not had the chance to bake yet, but seeing how evenly it held heat while cooking, I am thinking this will be perfect. I bought the red color. It gives a nice pop of color in my kitchen. This pot will probably last me a long time. I would buy one if I needed a replacement, or a gift for someone.

Great quality for price after 3 years of use
Color: Matte Navy, Size: 6-Quart, Color: Matte Navy, Size: 6-Quart
I’m 3.5 years in and use it weekly. So far it’s been a great product especially for the price. We are really into soups, roast, and I bake bread a lot. This thing is amazing and a great quality. It’s easy to clean, does great in the oven, and stands up great to constant use. I only have a small amount of staining at the bottom, and a couple scratches from metal utensils. The lid is solid and the handle is really secure still, which is a problem I’ve had with other brands I’ve tried.

Quality product
Color: Navy, Size: 6-Quart
I absolutely LOVE my Dutch oven! The reduced cooking time for certain cuts of meat for stews, pot roast, etc., is a definite game changer!! The meat comes out so juicy and tender. I made curry and did the "burning" of the curry and was hesitant because I didn't want the pot to be stained. There were no stains left at all. I've used it numerous times since purchasing and it still looks new. It's very durable and the color is beautiful. If you're looking for a functional, quality, and durable Dutch oven without breaking the bank, this is it! I highly recommend.

Nothing Exceptional but Gets the Job Done
Color: Blue, Size: 4.3-Quart, Color: Blue, Size: 4.3-Quart
I’ve owned this 4.5 Qt. Amazon Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven for almost two months and have used it three times to date. Upon arrival and at first glance, the gradient blue color is beautiful and super glossy; most importantly, the pot is heavy for its size - as it should be. It looks exactly like the product pictures, with a globular shape than square shape as others. Unfortunately, I also noticed that there was one pin hole and two tiny uneven protrusions on the enamel inside the pot.
I own three other enameled cast iron cookware from two other brands (photos attached for size comparison) and performance wise, this cast iron by Amazon performs equally to them. The pot isn’t exceptional or special but it gets the job done. Other than the pin holes and protrusions, I have no complaints. This isn’t my first rodeo so when heating up the pot and while cooking, I have zero issues.
I am starting the pan off at 4-Stars and will update my review as time progresses, or if I have any major issues with its durability or performance in subsequent months. For the amateur home cook, or for anyone who is new to cast iron cooking, below I’ve included tips that you may find useful while using this or any other enameled cast iron cookware.
================================
Regarding the 3 Photos and 1 video I've Attached:

================================
TIPS THAT YOU MAY FIND USEFUL While Using your cast iron dutch oven:
(Note: I included these similar tips in my review of a different enameled cast iron pot from a different brand. My tips can apply to all enameled cast iron cookware)
1. If you find that you have issues with food sticking, it could be that you are not heating up your cast iron pot properly to prevent undue hot spots.
I heat my pot up gradually starting at low, then medium, then high heat. After my pot is very hot is when I add my fat/cooking oil. As the oil is heating up in the pot, I lift it and swirl the oil around to coat all sides of the pot that will come in contact with food.
2. Take into consideration the temperature of the items you are adding to your heated pot. As a general rule for cooking: when ever possible, ensure that the items you are adding to a hot pot are at room temperature, rather than ice cold from the fridge; this will assist with even cooking.
3. Also, get comfortable with adjusting your heat by lowering and raising it based on what you’ve added to the pot. In general, you will need more heat at the beginning of the cooking process, and less heat towards the end. If you cook by recipe, I highly recommend that you read all the steps ahead before starting, so that you become familiarized with all the procedures, allowing you to maneuver accordingly when you start cooking.
4. At the exception of searing meat to achieve a brown crust, deep frying, or when caramelizing onions, you should be stirring your pot (I recommend using a wooden spoon) every few minutes when cooking in cast iron that is placed over high heat. If you are braising on the stove at low heat versus braising in the oven, the frequency of your stirring will need to be adjusted. No matter how you’re cooking though, a watchful eye on the pot plus stirring, should both be a habit not an afterthought.
5. For all cooking vessels in general but especially for cast iron: after cooking, allow your pot to cool down completely before cleaning. NEVER immerse a hot cast iron pot into cold water, nor pour cold dish water into hot pot. You risk not only being scald by dangerous steam, but you also risk weakening the enamel, therefore lessening the durability of your pots over time.
6. This cookware and others like it from Tramontina and Lodge are economical and if used correctly, will perform well for most cooking; if used correctly, they should also last for years. Nonetheless, if you can afford it, authentic enameled cast iron cookware made in France by Le Creuset is the best way to go. Le Creuset is the gold standard in cast iron cookware and their quality is second to none. I definitely recommend this Amazon dutch oven but if you can afford to splurge, Le Creuset's reputation is stellar. As a professional chef, I've used them in high end kitchens and their quality and performance is premier.
