Middle Atlantic M 1U 12A 120V(8)5-20R 5-15P - LP-41110

Middle Atlantic LP-41110 1U Horizontal Rack Power Distribution Unit

Overview

The Middle Atlantic LP-41110 is a 1U horizontal rack-mount PDU that delivers 120VAC/15A to eight NEMA 5-20R receptacles from a standard NEMA 5-15P plug — the straightforward power distribution unit for AV racks, security head-end enclosures, and network closets where you need clean outlet density without paying for metering or switching you won't use. The LP-41110 (often searched as LP 41110) occupies a single rack unit at 1.7 in tall and 17.2 in wide, leaving maximum U-space for the gear that matters. TAA compliance makes it a direct fit for government and institutional procurement.

Key Features

• 8x NEMA 5-20R Receptacles at 120VAC/15A: Eight 5-20R outlets on a single 15-amp circuit means you can feed up to eight ITE loads without hunting for a power strip. The 5-20R receptacle accepts both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs, so it handles mixed-plug environments common in AV and security head-ends without adapters.
• NEMA 5-15P Input Plug: Ships with a standard 5-15P input, so it plugs directly into any commercial 15A/120V wall or UPS outlet — no rewiring, no electrician, no special circuit needed for most installations.
• 9.84 ft (3m) Corded Connection: The 3-meter cord gives enough slack to route cleanly from a wall outlet or UPS at floor level to a mid-rack or top-rack position without cable management gymnastics. Short cords are a recurring pain point in deep racks; this one covers most real-world distances.
• 1U Horizontal Form Factor (1.7 in H × 17.2 in W × 5.2 in D): At 5.2 inches deep, it clears shallow-depth rack sections and fits 2-post open-frame racks as easily as enclosed 4-post cabinets. One rack unit consumed, zero wasted space.
• Black and Silver Finish: The two-tone finish aligns with standard rack aesthetics — relevant when the rack is client-visible in a security operations center or AV control room.
• TAA Compliant: TAA compliance is a hard procurement requirement for federal agencies, GSA schedules, and many state/municipal contracts. The LP-41110 satisfies that requirement out of the box — no substitution needed mid-project.
• 5.25 lb Shipping Weight: Light enough that a single technician handles rack installation without assistance, even when working at the top of a tall cabinet.

Integration and Compatibility

The LP-41110 is a passive corded PDU — no network port, no software, no driver. That simplicity is a feature: nothing to configure, nothing to patch, nothing to fail. It integrates into any rack environment accepting 1U horizontal components. Pair it with a compatible rack power conditioning UPS upstream if runtime or surge protection is required; the 5-15P input connects directly to most tower and rack UPS output receptacles. For installations requiring per-outlet switching or current metering, consider a stepped-up model in the Middle Atlantic power distribution lineup. Facilities running mixed-plug loads benefit from the 5-20R receptacle's backward compatibility with 5-15P equipment plugs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the LP-41110 TAA compliant?

A: Yes. The LP-41110 carries TAA compliance, making it suitable for federal, GSA schedule, and institutional procurement programs that mandate Trade Agreements Act products.

Q: What plug type does the LP-41110 use for its input?

A: The LP-41110 uses a NEMA 5-15P input plug, compatible with standard 15A/120V commercial outlets and most rack UPS output receptacles.

Q: Can NEMA 5-15P equipment plugs be used in the LP-41110's 5-20R outlets?

A: Yes. NEMA 5-20R receptacles accept both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs, so mixed-plug loads connect without adapters.

Q: How much rack space does the LP-41110 consume?

A: One rack unit (1U). The unit measures 1.7 in tall × 17.2 in wide × 5.2 in deep and mounts horizontally in any standard 19-inch rack.

Q: Does the LP-41110 include network monitoring or metering?

A: No. The LP-41110 is a passive corded PDU with no network interface, metering, or switching. If per-outlet monitoring is required, a metered or managed PDU in the Middle Atlantic lineup is the appropriate step up.

Q: What is the cord length on the LP-41110?

A: The LP-41110 ships with a 9.84 ft (3m) power cord — enough reach to route from a floor-level outlet or UPS to a mid- or top-rack position in most standard cabinet depths.

The LP-41110 is the kind of PDU I reach for when the rack design is finalized, the UPS is spec'd, and the project doesn't need intelligent metering — just eight reliable 5-20R outlets in a single rack unit at 120VAC/15A. The 5-20R receptacle backward compatibility with 5-15P plugs is the quiet spec that saves a call to the electrician when you've got a mixed bag of ITE equipment going in.

Technical Highlights:

• 8x NEMA 5-20R Outlets: Covers up to eight ITE loads on one 15A circuit; 5-20R accepts both 5-15P and 5-20P plugs — no adapters needed in mixed-plug head-end racks.
• 3m (9.84 ft) Cord: Long enough to reach a floor-mounted UPS from a mid-rack PDU position without straining cable management; short cords are the hidden pain point on deep 4-post cabinets.
• TAA Compliance: Hard requirement on GSA and federal contracts — the LP-41110 satisfies it at the passive-PDU tier so you don't need to substitute a more expensive managed unit just to clear procurement.

Deployment Considerations:

• At 5.2 in deep, this PDU clears shallow 2-post open-frame racks without bracket modifications — confirm your rack's usable depth before ordering a deeper unit.
• The 5-15P input draws from a 15A circuit, not 20A — total connected load across all eight outlets cannot exceed 15A (1,800W at 120V). Budget your load carefully if you're feeding high-draw equipment like PoE injectors or large NVRs.

The LP-41110 is the right call for government security installations, municipal network closets, and TAA-bid AV racks where passive, compliant outlet density is the requirement and managed features would just add cost and complexity that the project doesn't warrant.
