WattBox WB-RPS10-DC-10A 10-Output Rack-Mount Pro DC Power Supply

Centralized DC Power for Cleaner Rack Installations

The WattBox WB-RPS10-DC-10A is a 10-output rack-mount DC power supply made for AV, networking, security, and control-system setups where multiple low-voltage devices need clean, organized power from one location.

Instead of filling a rack, shelf, or power strip with separate wall-wart adapters, this 1U power supply lets you power multiple compatible DC devices from one organized chassis. It is a strong fit for low-voltage accessories, control gear, HDBaseT extenders, modems, small DC-powered devices, and security-related equipment that require 5V DC, 12V DC, or AUX DC power.

Best Use Cases

• AV racks: Helps clean up low-voltage power for extenders, control devices, signal accessories, and small DC-powered gear.
• Security systems: Useful for compatible DC-powered accessories and devices that need centralized rack power.
• Network and tech closets: Helps reduce adapter clutter around modems, small network accessories, and low-voltage support gear.
• HDBaseT and signal extender setups: A good fit when several low-voltage endpoints need organized power from one location.
• Service-friendly racks: Makes troubleshooting easier by keeping DC power outputs labeled and organized in one chassis.

Who Should Buy This?

This is a good choice if you have several compatible low-voltage DC devices in one rack, cabinet, or equipment closet and want to replace multiple loose power adapters with one cleaner rack-mounted solution.

It makes the most sense for installers, advanced DIY customers, AV racks, low-voltage systems, security accessories, and control-system setups where the voltage and amperage requirements can be confirmed before wiring.

Who Should Not Buy This?

This is not the right product if you need standard AC outlets for AV receivers, TVs, routers, switches, or rack equipment with normal power cords. For that, choose a rack power strip, surge protector, power conditioner, or UPS.

This is also not a UPS battery backup. It will not keep devices running during a power outage unless the AC power feeding this unit is backed up by a properly sized UPS.

Do not use this for PoE devices unless the device specifically accepts separate DC power and the voltage/current requirements match. PoE cameras, PoE access points, and PoE switches normally need a PoE switch or PoE injector, not this DC power supply.

Installation Considerations

Before ordering, list every device you want to power and confirm its required voltage, amperage, polarity, and connector type. Do not assume a device can use 12V just because the plug looks similar. The voltage must match the device specifications.

Plan the output layout before wiring. Each output has a maximum 1.3A load. If several devices need 12V DC, keep the total 12V load under 10A. If several devices need 5V DC, balance the load across the two 5V banks.

Set the correct voltage switch before connecting each device. Connecting a device to the wrong voltage can damage the equipment. Also confirm polarity carefully when terminating Phoenix connectors.

Why This Is Better Than Multiple Wall-Wart Adapters

Wall-wart adapters can quickly make a rack messy. They block outlets, create cable clutter, add heat, and make troubleshooting harder.

A centralized DC power supply makes the rack cleaner and easier to service. Devices can be labeled by output, wiring can be managed with the included lacing bar, and low-voltage power becomes easier to understand at a glance.

If you are not sure which devices can connect to this DC power supply, send us the device list with each device’s voltage, amperage, polarity, and connector type. We can help you think through 12V, 5V, AUX, total load, and whether this model is the right fit.

What is the WattBox WB-RPS10-DC-10A used for?

It is used to power multiple compatible low-voltage DC devices from one rack-mounted power supply instead of using several separate wall-wart adapters.

Is this a UPS battery backup?

No. This is a DC power supply, not a UPS. It does not provide battery runtime during a power outage unless the AC power feeding it is backed up by a separate UPS.

Is this a regular rack power strip?

No. This is not a standard AC power strip. It provides low-voltage DC outputs for compatible devices that require 5V DC, 12V DC, or AUX DC power.

How many DC outputs does it have?

It includes 10 individual DC outputs using removable Phoenix connectors.

What voltages can the outputs provide?

Each output can be set to 12V DC, 5V DC, or AUX DC. The correct voltage must be selected before connecting a device.

How much current can each output provide?

Each output supports up to 1.3A maximum. Do not exceed the connected device or output rating.

What is the total 12V capacity?

The 12V DC output capacity is up to 10A total across the outputs, with no more than 1.3A on any one output.

How does the 5V output capacity work?

The 5V DC output is split into two banks. Each 5V bank supports up to 5A, while each individual output is still limited to 1.3A.

What is the AUX output for?

AUX is used when you connect a separate DC power supply to the AUX input, up to 24V DC maximum. Do not connect AC voltage to the AUX input.

Can I use this for PoE cameras?

Not as PoE power. PoE cameras normally need a PoE switch or PoE injector. Only use this product with a camera or device if it specifically supports separate DC power and the voltage/current requirements match.

What happens if an output is overloaded?

The outputs include auto-resetting PTC protection. If an output trips, disconnect the device and check the connected load, wiring, polarity, and voltage selection before reconnecting.

Can it mount in a rack?

Yes. It uses a compact 1U chassis and can be rack mounted. It can also be shelf mounted or wall mounted when installed correctly.

What should I check before ordering?

Check each device’s voltage, amperage, polarity, connector type, total load, mounting location, wiring plan, and whether you also need UPS backup for the rack.
