Middle Atlantic 5FT Plugmold W/5USB MOD - WH20USB512

Middle Atlantic WH20USB512 5-Foot Plugmold with 5 USB Charging Modules

Overview

The Middle Atlantic WH20USB512 is a 5-foot Plugmold-style AC power strip with five integrated USB charging modules, purpose-built for installation inside Middle Atlantic rack enclosures and equipment cabinets. Where standard power strips force integrators to choose between AC outlet count and USB device charging, the WH20USB512 combines both in a single horizontally-mounted unit — keeping charging cables routed inside the cabinet rather than dangling from external adapters. This is the practical pick for any Middle Atlantic enclosure build where technicians, on-site maintenance staff, or in-rack devices need USB power alongside standard AC, without consuming a dedicated 1U PDU slot. The WH20USB512 designation follows Middle Atlantic's WH-series Plugmold family, designed to mount inside the WH-series and compatible rack enclosure cabinet walls or mounting channels.

Compatibility

Designed for use with Middle Atlantic WH-series rack enclosures and compatible cabinet lines that accept Plugmold accessory mounting. Confirm interior mounting channel dimensions against your specific enclosure model before ordering — Middle Atlantic's WH-series enclosures vary by depth and interior width. The 5-foot cord length provides enough slack to route from the cabinet's internal mounting position to a standard AC wall receptacle or in-rack UPS output without cable management issues in enclosures up to mid-depth. For surveillance and security rack builds, this unit pairs well with NVR chassis and managed PoE switch deployments where USB-powered management tablets or barcode readers share rack space with core security infrastructure. Not intended for direct outlet-facing UPS bypass or high-draw loads — verify total amperage requirements against the unit's rated capacity and your circuit breaker before commissioning.

Installation Notes

Mount horizontally inside the enclosure using Middle Atlantic's standard Plugmold mounting channel. Route the 5-foot AC cord to a protected circuit; avoid daisy-chaining with other power strips. USB charging modules are fixed-position — plan USB device placement accordingly before final cable dress.
