Didn't think I needed it, but I LIKE it.
Hib from Goleta, CA on 2/10/2021
At first, this was an "after-thought/impulse-buy", but I'm glad I added it to my home theater set-up. It bolts into any of the Sanus racks. I put it at the top to use those handy pull-out LEDs. I used up more than half the devices 10 rear outlets. I like the single front outlet which is ideal for plugging in my vacuum when I'm cleaning the dust off the top of the rack or on the adjacent piece of furniture on which the TV sits. Obviously, I like the filtering and surge protection. Most of all, I like the voltage/current/power use display. The price was ok and you can't beat Crutchfield's quick shipping and support.
Pros: Three-way display. Pull out rack lighting. Filtering and surge protection.
Cons: Didn't really need a 10-ft. AC power cord but, heck...I bundled the extra length with a cable tie.

Sanus CAPC01-B1
Crutchfield customer from Phenix City, AL on 10/24/2020
Love the fact that it has 11 plugs but didn't think about it not having antenna protection which is needed when I ordered it. Would have been nice to have rubber feet to keep it from sliding when sitting it on a shelf, I don't have the rack mount on my stand and I'm pretty sure not everyone does.
Pros: 11 plugs, power readout, easy on-off switch.
Cons: No antenna or cable protection. No rubber feet to keep it from sliding when sitting on a shelf. Rack mountable only.

Nice Sanus rack accessory
Todd from Great Mills, MD on 9/8/2018
Good integration with the Sanus rack system. Nice power/voltage/current meter. Integrated lights are a nice bonus if you place at top of rack.
Pros: Lots of plugs Compact Integrated lights Integrated power meter
Cons: Finish isn't an exact match to the other Sanus components.

high current ? about sanus strip
Ben from Oswego, Il. on 7/25/2018
Bought to use for a/v theater receiver -TX-rz820 onkyo + monoprice monolith5 amp, and a svs- Sta-800d powered sub woofer . Didn't know if this would be enough for high current pieces, did chat with them and they let me know it would be ok for application was great 2 be able to ask them before having to possibly have to buy other unit. Great costumer service there! !!
Pros: Looks well built, cord very flexible, works with high current items.
Cons: None yet

Sanus CAPC01-B1
Tim from Kansas City, MO on 4/1/2018
I plan on returning it . The voltage meter is not accurate, I have 125VAC but not t showed 117 which sounds good but I verified it at 125, even a cheap Harbor Frieght $5 meter does better. And also the three status lights are annoying at night they are blurry ( not focused ) and bright, you can't turn them down or off that I know of
Pros: Looks good when not turned on,
Cons: Not accurate volt meter, status like lights are bright not focused

Tom from East Aurora, NY on 11/19/2017
Great quality product. The pull out lights work great. I needed to ensure to put power supply at top of rack, since the lights only project down, left and right below parallel, which didn't make a difference to me.
Pros: High quality. I like the digital read out and indicators
Cons: Light projection down only.

Must have accessory to Sanus Rack
Adam from Yorba Linda, CA on 5/7/2017
If you are buying a Sanus Rack this is a must have accessory! It tucks away in a single rack height unit and provides the necessary amount of outlets to power my entire rack of gear. I have McIntosh Amps and use a Sanus rack in my home theater. I love that this unit includes a user selectable meter that can display voltage, current draw and power draw in watts. In my case, I was worried about amperage draw given I have a 7 ch McIntosh Amp and 2 Outlaw Audio monoblock amps installed. The pull out lights are a nice touch but in my setup are just not needed.
Pros: Compact unit. Meter can display voltage, amperage or wattage. Has enough outlets for all my gear.
Cons: None

Crutchfield customer from Los Angeles, CA on 10/17/2016
I have always wanted a power conditioner, and this was perfect for the Sanus rack that I ordered at the same time. Good finish and fit. The light makes it look extra professional, although I don't use it much. I like the meter which tells me how much power I am using also. The only slight concern is the fact that the plus are all 3 prong and spaced together. This is a necessity and they could not have built it any other way with this sized box. But there are basically only 2 holes (one in the front and first one in the back) that will handle large adapter looking plugs, which a few of my accessories have. I know there isn't a better design for this...

Easy installation and proven performance.
RAM from Texas on 6/14/2016
Easy to install and offers great flexibility in a rack mounted power source. Much better than using a power strip for your system.
Pros: Good flexibility for a home system without the high price. Easy to install and when positioned correctly in your rack should offer flexibility on various plugs.
Cons: Non that I have run into.

My Bad
Jim from Plano, Texas on 10/13/2015
Received the Sanos CAPC01-BI power strip and conditioner. Very well made product. The lights are great to help illuminate your gear or just for some ambient lighting. The Volt meter is worth the price. I was shocked when I plugged it in to see just how bad my electrical power delivery system was. All in all a very good and well built product. Would recommend to anyone who does not want to spend $500 plus for a line conditioner.
Pros: Well made Great Look Lights are functional Plenty of sockets to plug in gear
Cons: None really

The component fits nicely into the Sanus AV rack and functions as expected. It allows less cords to be visualized around the AV rack.
Pros: Fits well.
Cons: None known.

This item really completed my component rack. It's hard to get excited about a power strip but it looks awesome in the rack, provides great protection for the price, and allows for a much cleaner wiring finish.
