Middle Atlantic PDT Series Vertical Power Strip - 15 Amp, 20 Outlet Rack Mounted Power

The Middle Atlantic PDT Series Vertical Power Strip is engineered to deliver reliable, high-density power distribution where space is at a premium. This PDT Low Profile Vertical Power Strip fits neatly into the back of a standard 19-inch rack, offering a slender footprint that preserves valuable front-panel space for equipment and labeling. By mounting in the rear of the rack, it places outlets exactly where the gear needs power, reducing cable runs across the front of the rack and simplifying cable management for clean, professional installations. The 15 Amp rating provides ample capacity for a mix of audio-visual, IT, and studio gear typically found in broadcast suites, production environments, and data centers. The included mounting hardware ensures a secure, vibration-free installation that holds up to routine rack movement and equipment maintenance. The result is a streamlined, organized power distribution solution that helps protect equipment, simplify maintenance, and improve overall rack efficiency.

Designed with a thin, low-profile chassis, the PDT Vertical Power Strip minimizes your rack’s depth footprint while still offering a full complement of outlets. The arrangement of 20 outlets gives flexible access for devices such as servers, audio interfaces, amplifiers, lighting, and peripheral gear, all without crowding the front rails or interfering with airflow. The back-of-rack placement makes it easier to route power cords along the rear cabling channels, keeping power cords out of sight but within easy reach for technicians during service or reconfigurations. The Select Series PDT Low Profile design emphasizes unobtrusiveness and reliability, delivering robust performance in demanding environments where uptime matters. With a rugged build and professional-grade construction, this power strip is suited for both temporary productions and permanent facilities, maintaining a tidy, scalable power distribution backbone for your equipment stack.
