Middle Atlantic Vertical Power Strip - 10 Outlet - 15A & Surge

This compact, high-performance vertical power strip is designed to maximize rack space while delivering reliable, centralized power to essential equipment. With a thin chassis and a back-of-rack mounting profile, the Select Series PDT Low Profile Vertical Power Strip sits unobtrusively at the rear of your rack, placing outlets exactly where you need them—near your gear—without crowding the front of the enclosure. It’s the perfect solution for clean, efficient power distribution in AV, broadcast, audio engineering, and data-driven rack environments.

• Space-saving vertical design: The slim, low-profile chassis is engineered to mount discreetly in the back of the rack, freeing front-panel space for critical equipment and easy airflow. By consolidating power distribution into a compact vertical module, you gain valuable room for patch panels, switches, and other essential gear, while still keeping outlets within easy reach. This configuration reduces cable clutter and minimizes the chance of accidental cord tugs that could disrupt sensitive devices.
• 10 outlets positioned for proximity to devices: With ten outlets available on a single strip, you can power multiple devices in close proximity to each other—servers, AV encoders, network appliances, audio interfaces, or production gear—without rounded power cords snaking across the rack. The outlet layout is designed to simplify labeling, routing, and access, so technicians can swap or add devices quickly during routine maintenance or live events, without disturbing adjacent equipment.
• 15A current rating with surge protection: This vertical power strip is built to handle standard rack deployments with a 15-amp capacity, supporting multiple devices simultaneously while maintaining stable power delivery. Integrated surge protection guards valuable electronics against voltage spikes common in busy data centers, studios, stage rigs, and control rooms. By consolidating protection into a single, rack-mounted unit, you reduce the risk of damage from transient events and avoid the need for multiple, standalone surge protectors that can clutter your space.
• Low-profile Select Series PDT design with included mounting hardware: Part of Middle Atlantic’s Select Series, this low-profile vertical power strip emphasizes performance without compromising rack density. The design emphasizes ease of installation and dependable operation, with mounting hardware included so you can secure the unit quickly to the back of the rack. The result is a durable, space-efficient power distribution solution that integrates seamlessly with other Middle Atlantic components, enabling a cohesive, scalable rack setup for professional environments.
• Versatile, unobtrusive power distribution for demanding environments: The thin chassis and back-of-rack mounting make this power strip ideal for studios, control rooms, broadcast suites, data centers, and live production environments where space is at a premium. By keeping cords tucked away behind the rack and outlets aligned for easy access, you can streamline workflows, reduce cable management challenges, and maintain a clean, professional rack appearance. The combination of compact form factor, reliable 15A power, and surge protection helps ensure your essential equipment stays powered when it matters most.
