Middle Atlantic PDT-2015C-NS Vertical Rack Power Distribution Unit
Overview
The PDT-2015C-NS is a 20-outlet, single 15-amp vertical power distribution unit from the Middle Atlantic PDT Series. At 72.75" tall and just 1.58" square in cross-section, it mounts vertically inside a rack column to distribute power without consuming a single rack unit of horizontal space — the right call when your 1U and 2U slots are already committed to active gear. The PDT-2015C-NS ships with a 9-foot, 12-AWG cord terminating in a NEMA 5-15P plug, connecting to any standard 15A wall or PDU receptacle. The cord exits from the bottom, keeping cable routing clean in floor-standing enclosures.
Compatibility
Designed for rack enclosures that accept vertical power distribution — specifically Middle Atlantic rack systems with vertical mounting channels. The 72.75" height fits standard full-height equipment enclosures. The 20 NEMA 5-15R outlets accommodate standard three-prong equipment plugs rated up to 15A total on the single circuit — suitable for powering IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, and other low-to-mid draw devices across a single-circuit rack deployment. For installations requiring multiple circuits or higher amperage (20A), a different PDT variant is the correct choice; this unit's single 15A circuit means total connected load must stay under that threshold or you risk tripping the breaker under peak draw.
Installation Notes
Mount vertically inside the rack column prior to installing active equipment — vertical PDUs are easier to route before the rack fills. The bottom-exit cord simplifies management in floor-standing enclosures; confirm your rack has a bottom cable pass-through or adequate cord slack to reach the nearest 15A receptacle. Black anodized aluminum construction handles the mechanical demands of a fixed rack installation. UL Listed. The 3-year limited warranty covers manufacturing defects.
