Middle Atlantic Multi-Mount PDU Series - 15 Amp, 18 Outlet Power Distribution Unit

The Middle Atlantic Multi-Mount PDU Series delivers unmatched versatility for power distribution in professional AV and IT environments. Designed with a space-saving, modular chassis, this 15 Amp, 18-outlet power distribution unit puts outlets exactly where you need them—allowing you to tailor power delivery to your equipment rack, console, or mounting enclosure. Whether you’re assembling a compact broadcast rack, a large data center cabinet, or a mixed AV/IT installation, the Multi-Mount PDU gives you the flexibility to optimize outlet placement, cable management, and front/back access for streamlined operation and maintenance.

• Flexible outlet placement in a Multi-Mount design — The core advantage of this PDU is its ability to position outlets where they’re most convenient for your setup. Instead of forcing all outlets to sit in a fixed row, you can configure outlet positions to align with your devices, maximizing accessibility, reducing cable clutter, and simplifying maintenance across dense rack environments. This flexibility is ideal for equipment with unusual spacing needs or when you’re integrating nonstandard gear into a compact rack.
• 18 outlets for scalable power distribution — With eighteen outlets, this PDU provides ample reach for multipurpose racks, studio rigs, and IT cabinets. The broad outlet count supports expanding equipment fleets without sacrificing organization, enabling you to power servers, routers, patch panels, audio DSPs, and control interfaces from a single, centralized power hub. The result is consolidated power management with fewer wall sockets and a cleaner, more efficient rack.
• 15 Amp maximum current for reliable performance — The 15 Amp rating ensures robust and dependable power delivery to connected equipment while preserving energy efficiency and safety. In environments with multiple devices drawing substantial current, the Multi-Mount PDU distributes load evenly across outlets, reducing the risk of tripped breakers and voltage drops that can affect performance or uptime.
• Space-saving chassis for dense rack installations — The compact, space-conscious chassis is engineered to maximize rack real estate. Its streamlined profile fits in tightly packed rows and adjacent enclosures, enabling clean cable management and easier access during service. This design minimizes footprint without compromising durability or outlet performance, making it an excellent choice for busy broadcast rooms, data centers, or classroom AV racks.
• Professional-grade design for AV, IT, and data environments — Built to endure the rigors of busy environments, the Multi-Mount PDU combines rugged construction with precise electrical distribution. It’s well-suited for professional AV deployments, IT infrastructure, and hybrid racks where reliable power delivery, organized cabling, and easy maintenance are paramount.

How to install Middle Atlantic Multi-Mount PDU Series

• Plan your mounting layout by mapping where each outlet should be positioned relative to your devices. Consider access from the front for devices that require frequent swapping and from the rear for tidy cable exits. If you’re integrating into a cabinet or rack, ensure there’s adequate clearance for cords and ventilation around powered equipment.
• Prepare the mounting area in your rack, cabinet, or compatible enclosure. Verify that the surface can support the PDU’s weight and that the chosen location allows convenient reach to all outlets. Clear any existing cables to avoid interference during installation.
• Position the Multi-Mount PDU in the designated area and align mounting holes with the rack rails or enclosure mounting points. Use appropriate hardware designed for your rack system to secure the PDU firmly, ensuring there is no wobble or movement that could stress outlets or cords during use.
• Route power input and individual device cables with attention to cable management. Group related cables together, using ties or channels as permitted by your installation standards, and route power cords away from airflow paths to promote proper cooling and reduce heat buildup around the outlets.
• Power up and verify operation. Check each outlet for power delivery to its connected device, confirm that outlets are grouped logically for your workflow, and inspect for any signs of heat or loose connections. Label each outlet or outlet group if you maintain a labeling system for easier maintenance and future expansions.
