Middle Atlantic PD-DC-300-12VUP DC PWR 300W 12V IEC Plug C14

Overview

The Middle Atlantic PD-DC-300-12VUP is a 300-watt DC power distribution unit designed to consolidate multiple 12VDC power feeds into a single, rack-friendly chassis. This unit eliminates the need for numerous individual wall warts, reducing cable clutter and simplifying power management for low-voltage surveillance equipment. It's ideal for installations requiring up to 24 separate 12VDC outputs, such as powering multiple IP cameras, access control readers, or other DC-powered security devices from a single, reliable source. The integrated IEC C14 input allows for standard AC power cord connection.

Compatibility

This power distribution unit is compatible with any 12VDC powered devices that fall within its 25A total output current rating. It is commonly deployed with various brands of IP cameras, network switches with 12VDC inputs, and other low-voltage security hardware where centralized power delivery is beneficial. It is not specific to any single camera manufacturer's product line but rather serves as a universal power consolidator for 12VDC equipment.

Installation Notes

The PD-DC-300-12VUP accepts standard 100-240VAC input via its IEC C14 connector, requiring a standard AC power cord (not included). It provides up to 25A of total 12VDC output across up to 24 individual connections. Ensure the combined current draw of all connected devices does not exceed 25A to prevent overload. The unit features multi-level protection on both AC input and DC outputs, safeguarding connected equipment from power fluctuations. The 6 ft (1.8m) cord length offers flexibility in placement within a rack or enclosure.
