Middle Atlantic C8850P-ACT AC8850 Series Accessory Plate
Overview
The Middle Atlantic C8850P-ACT is an accessory plate designed for the AC8850 rack-mount power strip series. It provides a single 6A circuit position within the AC8850 chassis, allowing integrators to configure or expand the outlet arrangement to match a specific rack's power distribution requirements. If you are populating an AC8850 unit with a mix of circuit types, or replacing a damaged plate in an existing installation, the C8850P-ACT drops in to fill a single 6A position without requiring a full unit replacement. This kind of field-replaceable plate approach is common in commercial AV and security rack builds where power strips are installed in rack enclosures for long-term deployment.
Compatibility
The C8850P-ACT is designed for use with the Middle Atlantic AC8850 series rack power strips. Confirm your specific AC8850 chassis revision and outlet slot count before ordering — Middle Atlantic's AC8850 line spans several configurations, and plate fitment is chassis-dependent. This plate is not a universal Middle Atlantic power accessory; it is specific to the AC8850 platform. For integrators building out rack power distribution for surveillance or AV systems, verify the slot position and circuit rating match the load you intend to connect. A 6A circuit is appropriate for lighter loads such as network switches, smaller NVRs, or ancillary control equipment — not high-draw devices like PTZ camera power supplies or UPS units, which typically require higher-rated circuits. Consult the rack power strip documentation for per-slot current ratings and total chassis capacity before final load assignment.
