Locating Serial Numbers on Tripp Lite Products

Most Tripp Lite products are marked with a Serial Number that uniquely identifies each product from others of the same type. You will need your serial number to register your product for warranty and to make warranty claims.

All Products

Serial Number

For most Tripp Lite products, the serial number will contain 18 characters consisting of numbers and letters (other products may contain 6, 8, 12, or 13 characters). The serial number will usually begin with a 2, 3, or 9. Serial numbers are often found on the back or bottom of the product unit. In some cases, the serial number may also be the unit's barcode.

Horizontal PDUs

The serial number is often located next to the product nameplate on the top of the unit, but in some cases can also be found on the rear of the unit.

Note: Some horizontal PDUs contain product label information that does not resemble the 18-character serial number example shown on this page. When a serial number is requested, use the 6-digit product number located on the unit (see the Surge Protectors tab for more information).
