Middle Atlantic 36IN Power Tower 2 Outlet 2 USB A/c WH - P4HUHUWH

Middle Atlantic P4HUHUWH 36-Inch Wiremold Dash Desktop Power Tower

Overview

The Middle Atlantic P4HUHUWH is a 36-inch desktop power tower from the Wiremold Dash Series — a modular, column-style power distribution unit (PDU) designed for desks, workstations, conference tables, and integration counters where you need AC and USB charging in one upright footprint. Two NEMA 5-15 AC outlets and a dual-port USB hub (Type A + Type C) sit at reach height rather than at the floor, eliminating extension cords strung across the surface. The 8-foot self-retracting cord keeps the cable management situation clean by default — no coil of slack piling under the desk. As part of the Middle Atlantic product line, the P4HUHUWH carries the Wiremold Dash Series pedigree that integrators recognize from commercial furniture and AV rack deployments.

Key Features

• 36-Inch Tower Height: At 36 inches, the outlets and USB ports land at a comfortable reach zone on a standard 30-inch desk — no bending down to a floor strip or reaching behind a monitor to plug in a device. The column format keeps the unit stable on open surfaces without requiring a clamp or permanent mount.
• 2 x NEMA 5-15 AC Outlets (15A circuit): Two standard AC outlets on a 15A rated tower handle typical workstation loads — monitors, docking stations, desktop chargers — without tripping a standard 15A breaker. Confirm your aggregate device draw before adding high-wattage equipment like projectors or space heaters.
• Dual USB Charging — Type A + Type C: One USB-A port and one USB-C port in the same tower lets you charge phones, tablets, and USB-C laptops directly without a separate charging brick occupying an AC outlet. For integration desks running a mix of older and current-gen devices, having both connector types in a single column is a practical convenience.
• 8 ft Self-Retracting Cord: The retractable cord mechanism pulls excess cable back into the base automatically. On a conference room table or reception counter, this means the cord length matches the actual distance to the wall outlet — not the worst-case maximum. No zip-tie management, no bundled excess hanging off the edge.
• Configurable 24–36 Inch Height (4–6 Cubes): The Dash Series modular cube construction lets you set the tower to 24, 30, or 36 inches by adjusting the number of cubes — useful when ceiling clearance, under-desk depth, or furniture height dictates a shorter column. Order P4HUHUWH for the full 36-inch configuration; shorter configs are separate SKUs in the same family.
• White Finish: The white colorway integrates visibly with white desks, laminate surfaces, and lighter office and conference room furniture — a practical consideration for deployments where a black power strip would read as an eyesore on a premium conference table.
• Wiremold Dash Series Platform: Sourced under the Wiremold brand within Middle Atlantic's infrastructure portfolio, the Dash Series is built for commercial and light commercial environments. The tower format fits desktop power distribution scenarios where a horizontal strip would be impractical — narrow desks, pedestal stands, and kiosk counters.

Integration and Compatibility

The P4HUHUWH connects to any standard 15A NEMA 5-15R wall outlet via the 8-foot retractable cord — no special circuit required beyond a typical commercial 15A branch. It does not require a driver, software, or network integration; it is a passive power distribution device. The USB ports supply charging current for standard USB-A and USB-C devices; this unit does not provide USB data passthrough or hub functionality beyond power delivery. For AV integration and conference room deployments, pair with Middle Atlantic's rack and cable management products to maintain a coherent infrastructure solution. If your deployment requires surge protection, confirm whether the installation circuit or upstream protection handles that requirement — the evidence for this SKU does not confirm built-in surge suppression, so do not assume it.

For related Wiremold power management products, review the full Dash Series lineup for alternate heights and outlet configurations. If your project requires more than two AC outlets or a higher amperage circuit, evaluate higher-capacity PDUs in the same family rather than daisy-chaining units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How tall is the P4HUHUWH and can the height be adjusted?

A: The P4HUHUWH ships at 36 inches (the 6-cube configuration). The Wiremold Dash Series modular design supports 24–36 inches (4–6 cubes), but height adjustment means selecting the appropriate SKU at the time of purchase — not a field-adjustable feature post-assembly without additional components.

Q: What type of USB ports does the P4HUHUWH include?

A: One USB Type A port and one USB Type C port. Both are for device charging. This unit does not provide USB data hub functionality.

Q: Does the P4HUHUWH include surge protection?

A: The available specification data for the P4HUHUWH does not confirm built-in surge suppression. If surge protection is a requirement, verify with Middle Atlantic or install upstream protection on the circuit before deploying.

Q: How long is the power cord and how does the retraction work?

A: The cord is 8 feet and self-retracting — it automatically reels in excess slack so only the cord length you actually need is extended. This is a mechanical retraction mechanism built into the base, not an electronic system.

Q: What outlet type does the P4HUHUWH use?

A: The two AC outlets are NEMA 5-15 (standard North American 3-prong, 15A). The input cord also terminates in a standard NEMA 5-15 plug for connection to a typical 15A wall outlet.

Q: What color is the P4HUHUWH?

A: White. If your deployment requires a black finish, check the Wiremold Dash Series for a matching black SKU in the same configuration.

The spec that drives most of my recommendations on the P4HUHUWH is the 8-foot self-retracting cord combined with the 36-inch tower height — together they solve the two ugliest cable problems on a furnished conference table or security operations desk: too much cord on the surface and outlets that require bending to reach. This unit stands at desk height, plugs in at the floor, and the cord takes care of itself.

Technical Highlights:

• Self-Retracting 8 ft Cord: Mechanical retraction means you deploy this in a 4-foot or 8-foot distance from the wall and the cord adjusts — no leftover coil, no cable ties. In furnished conference rooms where you can't modify the floor box location, this is a genuine workflow advantage.
• USB-A + USB-C Dual Charging: Both current connector standards covered in one tower — useful on integration desks and helpdesk counters where you're servicing a mix of older USB-A accessories and current USB-C laptops daily, without consuming either AC outlet for a charging brick.
• Modular 24–36 Inch Cube Configuration: The Dash Series cube system means the P4HUHUWH's 36-inch profile is the tall end of the family range. If your furniture runs shallower or the column would conflict with overhead storage, the same platform drops to 24 or 30 inches — specify at order time.

Deployment Considerations:

• The two NEMA 5-15 outlets are rated for a 15A circuit — confirm the aggregate draw of everything you're connecting before deploying in a high-density workstation environment where multiple monitors, docks, and chargers share the same branch circuit.
• Surge suppression is not confirmed in the available spec data for this SKU. For deployments with sensitive electronics (AV control processors, access control panels, IP cameras on nearby desks), verify upstream circuit protection or specify a PDU with confirmed MOV suppression instead.

The P4HUHUWH is the right call for conference room table deployments and security operations desks where the clean-cord aesthetic matters, the outlet count requirement is modest (two devices plus USB charging), and the furniture setup prevents using a conventional horizontal power strip at the work surface.
