Because of the heat at the back of a rack the sticky mounts don't last.

The Cisco RPS does have limitations and users need to be aware of these limitation before deploying them. The units that I have used can only supply power to one of the six power connections at any one time. This means that a power failure must be limited to one 3750 or you will lose all of them. Most common failure is that you have a power supply fail in a Cisco switch and and it trips a rack breaker. By using one common RPS for a number of 3750's you then lose power to all.
Not a happy day....
