Middle Atlantic Rack Light with 8 Outlet Single 15 Amp Circuit Surge/spike - PDLT-815RV-RN

Middle Atlantic PDLT-815RV-RN 1U Rackmount PDU with Integrated Rack Light and Surge Protection

Overview

The Middle Atlantic PDLT-815RV-RN is a 1U rackmount power distribution unit that combines 15-amp, 8-outlet power delivery with an integrated LED rack light and 2-stage surge suppression — a practical choice for AV equipment racks, security head-end enclosures, and network infrastructure cabinets where you want illumination and clean power from a single rack unit. Part of Middle Atlantic's PDLT series, the PDLT-815RV-RN (often searched as PDLT 815RV RN) is built for integrators who need to consolidate lighting and power protection without sacrificing a second rack space for a separate light bar.

Key Features

• 8 Rear-Facing Outlets on a Single 15A Circuit: All eight NEMA 5-15R receptacles are positioned at the rear, keeping the front face clean for the integrated light. On a fully loaded rack, rear-facing outlets eliminate the cable-management headaches that come with side- or front-outlet strips — power cords route straight back without looping across equipment faces.
• 2-Stage Surge and Spike Protection: Two-stage filtering places suppression both at the inlet and at the outlet bank, so transient energy gets attenuated twice before it reaches connected gear. For NVR recorders, managed switches, and access control panels that contain non-replaceable processing boards, that second stage of suppression is the difference between a recoverable event and a warranty claim.
• Integrated LED Rack Light: The front-panel LED light bar illuminates the interior of the rack cabinet without a separate 1U light fixture. In a wall-mount or floor-standing enclosure where you're swapping drives or tracing cables at 2 a.m., built-in task lighting removes the flashlight-in-the-mouth problem entirely. The PDLT-815RV-RN delivers both power and illumination from a single rack unit.
• Surge Status Notification: A dedicated indicator alerts you when the surge suppression has absorbed a significant event, so you know the protective components have been stressed and can schedule a replacement before the next transient hits unprotected equipment. Most basic PDUs offer no such feedback — you find out the suppression failed when the NVR doesn't boot.
• Outlets Spaced for Plug-In Power Supplies: The outlet spacing is designed to accommodate wall-wart and brick-style power supplies without blocking adjacent receptacles. On a security or AV rack where half the gear ships with its own transformer block, this spacing decision alone can mean the difference between using all eight outlets or effectively losing three or four to physical interference.
• 2x USB Charging Ports: Two USB ports are included for charging tablets, phones, or low-draw diagnostic devices on the rack — useful when a technician is on-site commissioning or servicing equipment and needs a charge without pulling a separate outlet from the strip.
• 9-Foot Power Cord, NEMA 5-15P Plug: The 9-foot cord reaches from a wall outlet or UPS to the top of a tall floor-standing rack without an extension. The standard NEMA 5-15P plug is compatible with virtually every UPS bypass or surge-only outlet panel in a commercial installation — no special inlet required.
• 1U Form Factor, Standard 19-Inch Width: At 19
