CyberPower MPV615P Medical Grade Power Strip 6 Outlets
Overview
The CyberPower MPV615P is a six-outlet medical-grade power strip built for environments where reliable, clean power distribution matters — clinical workstations, security control rooms, imaging bays, and anywhere you need surge protection without plastic housings that crack under cart traffic. The metal construction and wall-mount capability make it a practical fit for permanent installations rather than desktop power bricks.
At 1,560 joules of surge energy absorption and a 45,000A peak common-mode current rating, the MPV615P is spec'd for the transients that come with large motor loads, HVAC cycling, and the kind of inductive spikes that slowly kill unprotected electronics in institutional settings. Six NEMA 5-15R outlets on a 15-foot (4.6m) cord gives you the reach to run a cable conduit-clean to a wall plate or rack without daisy-chaining extension cords.
Key Features
- 1,560 J Surge Energy Rating: Absorbs and dissipates over 1,500 joules before clamping fails — meaningful headroom for environments with variable loads like compressors, elevators, or large UPS systems cycling nearby. More joules means more surge events absorbed before the MOVs degrade.
- 45,000A Peak Common-Mode Current: Common-mode transients travel line-to-ground and are the type most likely to damage sensitive electronics with switching power supplies. A 45kA rating here is well above what most commercial-grade strips carry, providing margin for high-interference environments.
- Six NEMA 5-15R Outlets: Standard 15A receptacles spaced to accommodate wall-wart adapters without blocking adjacent ports. Six outlets covers a typical security workstation (NVR, monitor, PoE injector, UPS, PC, KVM) without extension cords.
- 1,875W / 15A Capacity: At 15A continuous draw on a 120V circuit, the MPV615P runs right up to a standard 15A breaker. Size your connected load below 12A (80% rule) for continuous operation — don't treat the 15A rating as a sustained target.
- 15-Foot (4.6m) Cord: The 4.6m cable is long enough to reach a dedicated circuit from a floor-mounted rack or under-desk installation without using an extension cord, which matters for both UL compliance in medical settings and clean cable management.
- All-Metal Housing: Metal enclosure handles the mechanical abuse of cart-accessible installations better than ABS plastic. Also relevant in environments where grounding integrity and EMI shielding are part of the installation spec.
- Wall-Mountable: Integrated mounting slots let you fix the strip to a wall, under-desk surface, or rack side panel — eliminating the trip-hazard and cable-tug risk of a strip sitting loose on a shelf.
- RoHS Compliant: Meets EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive — relevant for healthcare facilities with environmental purchasing requirements and for export to EU-regulated institutions.
- NEMA 5-15P Input Plug: Standard 15A plug mates with any hospital-grade or standard NEMA 5-15R or 5-20R receptacle. No adapters needed for typical North American 120V circuits.
Integration & Compatibility
The MPV615P feeds any standard 100–125V / 60Hz circuit. It is not a UPS — there is no battery backup — so pair it with an upstream UPS if runtime during outages is required. The NEMA 5-15R outlets accept all standard two- and three-prong North American plugs. For power and UPS solutions that add battery runtime to this strip's surge protection, browse the full power category.
In security camera and access control deployments, the MPV615P works well downstream of a line-interactive UPS feeding the NVR, server, or workstation tier — the surge protection provides a second layer of transient clamping before power reaches sensitive equipment. For structured cabling environments, the 4.6m cord pairs cleanly with standard 15A dedicated circuits at control room installations.
The all-metal housing and RoHS compliance make this compatible with purchasing requirements at healthcare facilities, government installations, and education environments that enforce environmental and safety standards on electrical accessories.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the MPV615P include battery backup or UPS functionality?
A: No. The MPV615P provides surge protection and power distribution only — there is no battery backup. For runtime during outages, pair it with an upstream UPS unit.
Q: What is the surge energy rating on the MPV615P?
A: The MPV615P is rated at 1,560 joules of surge energy absorption with a 45,000A peak common-mode clamping current — providing substantial transient suppression headroom for high-interference institutional environments.
Q: Can the MPV615P be wall-mounted?
A: Yes. The unit includes integrated wall-mount slots for permanent installation on walls, under-desk surfaces, or rack side panels.
Q: What is the maximum load the MPV615P can handle?
A: The MPV615P supports up to 15A / 1,875W on a 100–125V circuit. For continuous operation, keep the connected load at or below 80% of capacity (approximately 12A / 1,500W) to stay within safe operating limits and avoid tripping a 15A breaker.
Q: Is the MPV615P RoHS compliant?
A: Yes. The MPV615P carries RoHS compliance certification, meeting EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances requirements — relevant for healthcare and government facilities with environmental procurement standards.
Q: What cord length does the MPV615P include?
A: The MPV615P ships with a 4.6-meter (approximately 15-foot) power cord with a NEMA 5-15P plug.
When I spec the MPV615P into a security or clinical workstation installation, the spec I keep coming back to is that 45,000A common-mode peak current rating. Common-mode transients are the ones that slip past most inexpensive strips unnoticed until something stops working — the MPV615P is built with enough clamping headroom that the MOVs aren't going to be exhausted after the first electrical storm or compressor kick-on event on the circuit.
Technical Highlights:
- 1,560 J Surge Absorption: Above-average joule rating for a six-outlet strip — gives you meaningful headroom versus the 400–600J found on typical commodity strips. More joules absorbed before MOV degradation means longer effective service life in electrically noisy environments.
- 4.6m (15ft) Cord: Long enough to reach a dedicated 15A circuit from a floor-mounted rack or wall-mount position without extension cords — keeps the installation clean and avoids the UL gray area of chained extension cords in medical or government spaces.
- Metal Housing + Wall-Mount: The all-metal enclosure handles physical abuse that plastic doesn't. Combined with integrated wall-mount slots, it installs as a fixed asset rather than a loose accessory — reduces cable tug events and keeps the outlet face accessible.
Deployment Considerations:
- The 15A / 1,875W capacity matches a standard 15A branch circuit — stay at or below 12A continuous (80% rule) to avoid nuisance tripping, especially if any connected device has inrush current on startup.
- This is surge protection only, not power conditioning or UPS. In environments where momentary power loss would cause a problem (NVR mid-write, clinical imaging), you need an upstream line-interactive or online UPS; the MPV615P handles transients, not outages.
This strip fits cleanly into fixed security control room buildouts — NVR workstations, access control servers, video wall controllers — where you want wall-anchored, metal-housed surge protection on a long cord and a permanent installation footprint rather than a desktop power strip that walks away or gets unplugged by accident.
