Middle Atlantic DS4000 Backfeed Coupling - DS4014A

Middle Atlantic DS4014A Backfeed Coupling

Overview

The Middle Atlantic DS4014A is a backfeed coupling designed for the DS4000 series power distribution system. Backfeed coupling components allow downstream power distribution units to receive supply from an upstream source within the same rack or enclosure infrastructure — a critical element when daisy-chaining or paralleling distribution modules without running independent home-run feeds to each unit. The DS4014A addresses the specific mechanical and electrical interface requirements of the DS4000 platform, providing a factory-matched connection point that maintains system integrity rather than relying on field-improvised wiring.

Compatibility

The DS4014A is designed for use with Middle Atlantic DS4000 series power distribution equipment. If you are specifying or expanding a rack power distribution installation built on the DS4000 platform, verify that the coupling variant matches the amperage and connector configuration of your specific DS4000 distribution unit before ordering. Contact pre-sales engineering to confirm fit against your exact DS4000 model if documentation is unavailable.

Installation Notes

Backfeed couplings are a precision-fit component — use only with the designated DS4000 series units this part was engineered for. Substituting a coupling from a different Middle Atlantic series risks an insecure connection or mismatched rating. Verify the enclosure and rack accessories configuration allows physical access for coupling engagement prior to full rack population. For broader rack and enclosure planning, confirm that backfeed topology is supported by your facility's power infrastructure before commissioning.
