Middle Atlantic PDT-2X520 Vertical Power Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic PDT-2X520 is a low-profile vertical power strip designed for rack-mount installations where space is critical. It provides 10 NEMA 5-20R receptacles, each rated for 20A, distributed across two circuits. This hardwired unit mounts vertically in a 0U side-mount configuration, ideal for dense AV or IT racks where horizontal space is at a premium. Its aluminum construction ensures durability in commercial environments.

Compatibility

This PDT-2X520 power strip is designed to integrate with standard 19-inch rack systems. Its 0U side-mount capability makes it compatible with most rack enclosures that offer sufficient side clearance for its 2.58" width. The unit's primary function is to distribute power to connected equipment within these rack environments, supporting a broad range of devices that utilize NEMA 5-20R plugs.

Installation Notes

Installation requires hardwiring via a junction box, supporting a 120V input. The unit features reusable mounting clips for secure attachment to rack rails or enclosure sides. Surge protection is integrated, and it offers isolated ground capability, which is beneficial for sensitive electronic equipment to prevent ground loops and noise.
