Middle Atlantic CR SRG 6 Outlet 6FT. Cord - PR610N

Middle Atlantic PR610N 6-Outlet Surge Protector Power Strip

The Middle Atlantic PR610N is a plug-in outlet center built under the Wiremold sub-brand, delivering six protected AC outlets on a 15A, 120V circuit with value-grade surge protection and a 6 ft cord. It's the kind of straightforward power distribution that AV and security rack integrators reach for when they need reliable outlet coverage at a workstation, credenza, or equipment cart without the overhead of a full rackmount PDU. If you're wiring a small NVR station, a door-controller cabinet, or an access control head-end that sits on a shelf rather than in a rack, the PR610N fits that gap cleanly.

Key Features

• 6 AC Outlets, 15A / 120V: Six outlets on a single 15-amp branch circuit handles a typical mix of NVR, switch, and a couple of IP cameras on injectors — enough for a compact edge-security node without daisy-chaining strips.
• Value-Grade Surge Protection: Provides a baseline clamp against transient voltage spikes common in commercial buildings with shared electrical infrastructure. Not a substitute for a full UPS on mission-critical recorders, but covers the everyday spike risk at secondary stations.
• 6 ft (1.8 m) 14/3 SJT Cord: The 14-gauge, 3-conductor SJT cord is rated for the full 15A draw — no derating concern. Six feet gives enough slack to reach a wall outlet from most shelf or cart installations without an extension cord.
• NEMA 5-15 Plug: Connects to any standard 15A US wall outlet. No adapter, no special circuit required — plugs directly into the outlet already present in most IT closets, back-office spaces, and equipment rooms.
• Lighted Switch: The illuminated on/off switch gives a clear visual indicator of power state at a glance — useful in low-light equipment closets where you need to confirm the strip is live without tracing cables.
• Impact-Resistant Polymeric Housing: The putty-white enclosure handles the bumps of an active installation environment. The material won't crack under the incidental physical contact that's routine on a busy equipment cart or in a crowded wiring closet.
• Plug-In Mounting: No rack ears, no mounting brackets required. Places anywhere a flat surface and a standard outlet are available — directly on a shelf, under a desk, or zip-tied to a cart rail.

Integration and Compatibility

The PR610N is part of the Middle Atlantic Wiremold line, designed to complement their broader power distribution lineup. It pairs naturally with compact NVRs, PoE switches, and access control panels in installations where a full rackmount PDU is oversized for the application. Review your power planning guide if you're calculating branch circuit loads across multiple strips — 15A shared with other devices on the same circuit can reach the breaker limit faster than it looks on paper. For deployments requiring battery backup, pair this with an appropriate UPS unit upstream.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many outlets does the PR610N provide?

A: The PR610N has six AC outlets, all on a single 15A, 120V circuit.

Q: What type of surge protection does the PR610N offer?

A: It provides value-grade surge protection — adequate for transient spike suppression at secondary equipment stations. For mission-critical recorders or servers, pair it with a UPS for full power conditioning.

Q: What is the cord length and plug type?

A: The PR610N ships with a 6 ft (1.8 m) 14/3 SJT cord terminated in a standard NEMA 5-15 plug, compatible with any 15A US wall outlet.

Q: Can the PR610N be rack-mounted?

A: No — the PR610N is a plug-in unit with no rack ears or mounting hardware. It is designed for shelf, cart, or floor-level installations. For rack applications, Middle Atlantic offers dedicated rackmount PDU models.

Q: What does the lighted switch indicate?

A: The illuminated switch shows whether the outlet strip is powered on or off, providing a clear visual status check in equipment closets or low-light environments.

The PR610N is the unit I spec when an installation has a shelf-mounted NVR or access control panel that just needs clean, surge-protected outlet coverage — no rack, no overhead. The 14/3 SJT cord running a full 15A without derating is the detail that matters here; a lot of budget strips use 16-gauge wire and quietly throttle your headroom before you've loaded all six outlets.

Technical Highlights:

• 14/3 SJT Cord at 15A: Full-gauge wiring means you can actually draw the rated 15 amps without the cord becoming a thermal liability — relevant when you have an NVR, a managed switch, and a couple of injectors sharing the strip.
• Value-Grade Surge Protection: Handles the routine voltage transients in commercial buildings. It's not an MOV-heavy industrial suppressor, so don't lean on it as your only protection layer for a 24/7 recorder — add a UPS upstream for that.
• Lighted Switch on Polymeric Housing: The impact-resistant putty-white enclosure and illuminated switch are small details that matter in a wiring closet where you're working fast — you can see power state instantly and the housing won't split when a rack shelf catches it.

Deployment Considerations:

• The NEMA 5-15 plug and 6 ft cord cover most shelf-to-wall distances in standard equipment rooms, but measure before assuming — a deep equipment cabinet or a wall outlet on the opposite side of a door frame may need a short extension, which you should avoid on a 15A circuit under load.
• Value-grade surge protection means this is not a replacement for a UPS or a true power conditioner on NVRs or servers. Use it as the final outlet tier in a stack that already has battery backup upstream.

Best fit for small access control head-ends, shelf-mounted NVR installations, and equipment carts where you need six protected outlets, a visual power indicator, and a commercial-grade cord without buying into a full rackmount PDU.
