Altronix MAXFIT7F16APQ 24VDC 16-Output Power Distribution Bundle
Overview
The Altronix MAXFIT7F16APQ is a factory-assembled, multi-component power distribution bundle delivering 24VDC at up to 10A across 16 individually managed outputs. Designed for installers who need to consolidate power for access control readers, door hardware, surveillance cameras, or mixed low-voltage devices without building a custom power cabinet from scratch, this bundle arrives as a pre-configured unit ready for panel or rack integration. At 9.15 lbs and 3.25 × 13.00 × 13.50 inches, it is sized for standard enclosure mounting in telecom rooms, server closets, or dedicated security equipment spaces.
This bundle combines the EFLOW104N/2 power supply, the LINQ8ACM intelligent power management module, and the PD16W 16-output power distribution board into a single orderable SKU — saving procurement steps and ensuring the components are matched and tested together.

Key Features
- 16 Individually Distributed Outputs: Sixteen discrete output circuits mean you can assign one run per door, reader, or camera head. A fault or overload on one circuit stays isolated — it does not pull down adjacent devices, which matters on life-safety-adjacent installations where continuity is not optional.
- 24VDC Output at 10A Max: The 24-volt output rail is the standard operating voltage for a wide range of access control peripherals — electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, readers, and request-to-exit (REX) devices. The 10A ceiling provides enough headroom to fully load all 16 outputs at typical device draw levels without approaching thermal limits.
- 120VAC / 60Hz Input: Accepts standard North American single-phase mains power, so no step-down transformer or special circuit is required. Wire it directly to a dedicated 20A branch circuit breaker and the input side is done. This keeps rough-in costs and panel space consumption low on commercial projects.
- Compact Footprint for Dense Installations: At 13.00 × 13.50 inches across its two major face dimensions and only 3.25 inches deep, the MAXFIT7F16APQ fits inside standard Altronix enclosures or can be surface-mounted in a backbox where wall depth is limited. The pre-integrated bundle format also means fewer through-holes and less internal wiring compared to sourcing each sub-module separately.
- Pre-Matched Component Bundle: The EFLOW104N/2 + LINQ8ACM + PD16W combination is factory-assembled under a single part number. For integrators working in managed IT or enterprise security environments, a single-line-item procurement simplifies purchasing, receiving inspection, and warranty tracking.
- Low-Voltage Surveillance and Access Topology Fit: The 24VDC rail directly powers analog PTZ cameras, legacy coax-based surveillance endpoints, door controllers, and intercom substations in deployments where PoE infrastructure is not in scope. Pair it with a network video recorder on the same rack for a self-contained surveillance power and recording stack.
Integration and Compatibility
The 24VDC/10A output profile of the MAXFIT7F16APQ is broadly compatible with low-voltage security hardware. Electric strikes typically draw 300–500mA at 24VDC; electromagnetic locks commonly draw 250–500mA; proximity and card readers draw 100–300mA. With 10A of aggregate capacity across 16 outputs, the bundle can realistically support a mixed load of eight to twelve active door-control or power supply endpoints simultaneously under typical commercial door hardware specifications.
Installers integrating this unit into access control panels should confirm the panel's required supply voltage before wiring — most commercial panels accept 12VDC or 24VDC, and the MAXFIT7F16APQ is fixed at 24VDC output. It is not a dual-voltage unit. For deployments requiring 12VDC distribution, a different Altronix model in the same family is the appropriate path.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the output voltage and maximum current of the MAXFIT7F16APQ?
A: The MAXFIT7F16APQ outputs 24VDC at a maximum of 10A total across all 16 output circuits.
Q: How many output circuits does the MAXFIT7F16APQ provide?
A: It provides 16 individually distributed output circuits, allowing each connected device — door hardware, reader, or camera — to run on its own dedicated circuit.
Q: What input power does the MAXFIT7F16APQ require?
A: The unit accepts 120VAC at 60Hz, which is standard North American single-phase mains. No step-down transformer is required.
Q: What are the physical dimensions and weight of the MAXFIT7F16APQ?
A: The unit measures 3.25 × 13.00 × 13.50 inches and weighs 9.15 lbs.
Q: Is the MAXFIT7F16APQ a single product or a bundle of components?
A: It is a factory-assembled bundle combining the EFLOW104N/2 power supply, LINQ8ACM power management module, and PD16W 16-output distribution board under one orderable part number — simplifying procurement and installation.
Q: Can the MAXFIT7F16APQ power both access control hardware and surveillance cameras on the same unit?
A: Yes, provided all connected devices operate at 24VDC. The 16-output architecture makes it straightforward to assign separate circuits to door hardware and cameras on the same distribution board. Confirm each device's 24VDC compatibility before wiring.
The MAXFIT7F16APQ is the kind of bundle that earns its place on multi-door commercial projects where the alternative is specifying three separate line items, waiting for all three to arrive, and then spending a field hour making sure you ordered compatible revisions. Altronix pre-matched the EFLOW104N/2, LINQ8ACM, and PD16W into a single SKU — the 24VDC/10A output and 16-circuit distribution are ready to commission as a unit.
Technical Highlights:
- 24VDC / 10A Output Rail: Enough aggregate current to handle a fully loaded 16-circuit board of door hardware at typical 300–600mA per-device draws, with headroom remaining. That margin matters when you're mixing EM locks and REX devices on the same board.
- 16 Discrete Output Circuits: Fault isolation is the practical win here — one shorted strike or miswired reader does not cascade to adjacent circuits. On an eight-door installation, that means a service call is limited to one door, not a full board reset.
- 120VAC / 60Hz Input: Standard branch circuit compatibility removes the transformer-sizing step from the design phase. Dedicate a 20A breaker, run the feed, and the input side is squared away before the first output is terminated.
Deployment Considerations:
- At 9.15 lbs and 13.50 inches on its longest axis, confirm your enclosure's interior clearance before ordering — this is not a small board, and the bundle depth of 3.25 inches requires adequate backbox or panel depth to close the door cleanly.
- The output is fixed at 24VDC — there is no jumper or adjustment for 12VDC. If any device in your bill of materials is 12VDC-only, this unit does not fit that circuit without a downstream converter, which adds cost and a failure point.
The MAXFIT7F16APQ is a strong fit for eight- to sixteen-door commercial access control deployments — corporate office suites, healthcare facility wings, or light-industrial buildings — where the design calls for consolidated 24VDC distribution and the integrator wants to close out the power subsystem in a single purchase order line.
