Middle Atlantic RLNK-420R 20-Amp 4-Outlet Rackmount PDU with Individual Outlet Control
Overview
The Middle Atlantic RLNK-420R is a compact, 1U rackmount power distribution unit built for AV racks, security equipment enclosures, and light IT closets where you need per-outlet switching control on a 20-amp circuit — without the cost and complexity of a full network-managed PDU. Designed for integrators deploying rack power distribution in surveillance, access control, and AV environments, the RLNK-420R (often searched as RLNK 420R) gives you four IEC-type outlets on a single 20A branch circuit, each individually controllable so you can cycle power to a locked-up NVR, reboot a frozen IP camera switch, or sequence equipment startup — all without pulling a ladder or dispatching a technician.
Middle Atlantic's rack power lineup is purpose-engineered for AV and security integrators, and the RLNK-420R reflects that: compact 8.76-inch width fits inside standard relay racks without overhanging side panels, the powder-coat finish holds up to the rough handling of a rack installation environment, and the 9-foot, 5-20P cordset reaches a standard 20-amp dedicated circuit without extension cords.

Key Features
- 4 Individually Controlled Outlets (IEC Type): Each of the four outlets can be switched on or off independently — critical when a single frozen device (NVR, PoE switch, DSP) needs a hard reboot without cutting power to everything else in the rack. On a surveillance installation running 24/7, that means no service visit just to cycle one piece of gear.
- 20-Amp Circuit Capacity (5-20P Plug): The 20A rating (NEMA 5-20P plug) gives you meaningful headroom for loading up NVRs, encoders, and networking equipment on a single branch circuit. Most 15A strips max out before you finish populating a dense rack — the RLNK-420R avoids that bottleneck by working with your building's 20A dedicated circuits.
- Compact Mounting Style — 8.76
