Middle Atlantic Combo Surge OPEN/2A - AL5256-G2A

Middle Atlantic AL5256-G2A Combo Surge OPEN/2A

Overview

The Middle Atlantic AL5256-G2A is a combo surge accessory in the Middle Atlantic power protection line, designed to integrate into rack-based AV and security installations where both coax and AC power surge protection are required in a single unit. The 'OPEN/2A' designation indicates an open-frame or open-bay form factor with a 2-amp circuit configuration — making it suited for deployments where space efficiency inside a rack enclosure matters and dedicated surge clamping on sensitive downstream equipment is a priority. If you're specifying power infrastructure for a surveillance head-end rack or AV distribution system and need a combo-format surge device from Middle Atlantic, the AL5256-G2A fits that design intent.

Compatibility

The AL5256-G2A is part of Middle Atlantic's rack power protection family. Middle Atlantic combo surge products are engineered to pair with the brand's own rackmount enclosures and power sequencing systems. For exact rack unit compatibility, bay dimensions, and downstream load capacity, consult the Middle Atlantic product datasheet or contact pre-sales engineering with your rack model — matching the bay form factor and circuit amperage to your installation is critical before ordering. For broader rack accessory pairing options, review the current Middle Atlantic lineup alongside this unit.

Installation Notes

Combo surge accessories in this class typically require matching the protected circuit's amperage to the downstream load — confirm your connected equipment does not exceed the rated 2A capacity. Verify rack bay compatibility before installation; open-frame units mount directly into designated bays within compatible Middle Atlantic enclosures and do not require a standard EIA rack rail position. Consult the manufacturer's installation guide for torque specs and grounding requirements specific to your enclosure model.
