Middle Atlantic Rlnk IEC Select 9 Outlet 100-240V CE - RLNK-910R-IEC-NS

Middle Atlantic RLNK-910R-IEC-NS Select IEC Rackmount PDU 9-Outlet 100-240V

Overview

The Middle Atlantic RLNK-910R-IEC-NS is a 1U rackmount power distribution unit built for integrators who need internationally compatible, IEC-standard power delivery in a clean rack installation. Rated at 10 amps on a single circuit, it distributes power to nine IEC C13 outlets from a C14 input — the connector pair you find on virtually every rack-mount switch, NVR, server, and surveillance appliance shipping today. If your rack is going into a European installation, a government facility requiring CE/ETL compliance, or any multi-tenant environment where clean power organization matters, this unit slots in without adapter gymnastics.

The RLNK-910R-IEC-NS (often searched as RLNK 910R IEC NS) ships from Middle Atlantic, a brand with a long track record in the AV and security rack integration space. Explore the full Middle Atlantic rack power and enclosure catalog if you're spec'ing an entire rack build.

Key Features

• 9 IEC C13 Outlets, 10A Single Circuit: Nine individually accessible C13 receptacles on one 10-amp circuit. At a practical draw of 7–8A continuous (80% rule), you can power a typical 8-channel NVR, a managed PoE switch, and several ancillary devices without splitting circuits or running a second PDU. Plan your load budget before populating all nine — 10A fills fast in dense video surveillance racks.
• 100–240V International Input (C14 Plug): The C14 inlet accepts 100–240V/50–60Hz, making the RLNK-910R-IEC-NS a genuine drop-in for North American, European, and Asia-Pacific rack environments without a separate transformer. International installations with locally sourced IEC power cables connect directly.
• 9-Foot (2.7 m) Cord Length: The 2.7-meter captive cord gives you real routing flexibility in tall open-frame or enclosed racks — long enough to reach a floor PDU or in-cabinet whip without an extension cord adding another failure point.
• 1U Rackmount Form Factor (17.36 × 1.74 × 9.67 in): At 1.74 inches tall and 17.36 inches wide, the unit occupies a single rack unit. Depth is 9.67 inches — verify your cabinet's usable depth before ordering if you're working with shallow-depth wall racks, as some 12-inch-deep enclosures will be tight with cable dressing.
• Powder Coat Finish: The durable powder coat holds up in the mechanical environment of a working equipment rack — resists scratching from cable pulls and hardware swaps without degrading the finish over years of service.
• ETL Listed (CE Mark): ETL listing satisfies the safety certification requirement for most commercial and government installations in North America and the CE mark covers European conformity. If your project spec calls out a listed PDU, this box is checked. Note: no surge protection is included in this model — if transient protection is a project requirement, specify a surge-protected variant instead.
• No Surge Protection — By Design: The RLNK-910R-IEC-NS intentionally omits surge suppression. In rack environments where upstream UPS or facility-level surge protection is already in place, adding a second MOV stage can actually mask fault events or create a false sense of protection. Clean, unsuppressed distribution is the correct choice when the upstream device owns the protection role.
• 8 Individually Controlled Outlet Banks: The outlet control type is rated at 8, giving you granular power management across the outlet positions — useful for staged startup sequencing in surveillance racks where NVRs and cameras should come online in a defined order.

Integration & Compatibility

The C14 input is the universal connector for rack-mount rackmount power distribution and UPS output whips. Pair this PDU with any IEC-whip-equipped UPS (APC, Vertiv, CyberPower) for a complete power chain. The nine C13 outlets accommodate standard IEC power cords shipped with virtually all commercial-grade NVRs, managed switches, servers, and video management appliances. For surveillance rack builds, consider pairing with a network video recorder and a managed PoE switch to complete the core infrastructure layer. If your project requires per-outlet switching or remote reboot capability, evaluate the broader Middle Atlantic RackLink intelligent PDU line — the RLNK-910R-IEC-NS is the non-switched Select tier, optimized for straightforward power distribution at a lower price point. A rack power planning guide can help you size circuits and choose between switched and non-switched PDU tiers before you spec the BOM.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the RLNK-910R-IEC-NS include surge protection?

A: No. The surge protection type is listed as None. This unit is a clean distribution PDU — transient protection should be handled upstream by a UPS or facility-level suppressor. If surge protection at the PDU level is a project requirement, specify a different Middle Atlantic model in the RackLink line.

Q: What input plug type does the RLNK-910R-IEC-NS use?

A: The unit uses a C14 inlet, which is the standard IEC 60320 male connector used on virtually all rack-mount UPS output whips and PDU input leads. Match it to any C13-to-C14 whip from your UPS.

Q: Is the RLNK-910R-IEC-NS suitable for international (non-North American) installations?

A: Yes. The unit accepts 100–240V / 50–60Hz input and carries a CE mark, making it compatible with European and other international rack environments. The C14 inlet accepts locally sourced IEC power cables worldwide.

Q: How many rack units does the RLNK-910R-IEC-NS occupy?

A: It is a 1U device, measuring 1.74 inches (4.4 cm) in height and 17.36 inches (44.1 cm) in width. Depth is 9.67 inches (24.6 cm) — verify cabinet usable depth for shallow-depth enclosures.

Q: What safety certifications does the RLNK-910R-IEC-NS carry?

A: The unit is ETL Listed and carries a CE mark. ETL listing satisfies North American commercial and government safety requirements; CE covers European conformity.

Q: Can the RLNK-910R-IEC-NS support outlet-level power control?

A: The outlet control type is rated at 8, supporting per-outlet or grouped control. This enables staged power sequencing across the nine C13 outlets — useful in surveillance and AV racks where device startup order matters.

The RLNK-910R-IEC-NS hits a specific gap in rack power spec'ing that comes up more than people expect: you need a UL/ETL-listed IEC distribution strip that runs on 100–240V, uses a C14 input (so it mates directly to a UPS whip without adapters), and fits in a 1U slot without wasting a full rack unit on a heavyweight managed PDU. This unit does exactly that — nine C13 outlets, 10 amps, single circuit, done.

Technical Highlights:

• 10A / 100–240V Input: Running at 80% continuous draw gives you an 8A working budget — enough for an NVR, a managed PoE switch, and a couple of ancillary appliances. At 240V that's nearly 2kW of headroom; at 120V plan more carefully in a dense rack.
• C14 Inlet + IEC C13 Outlets: The C14/C13 pairing is universal in commercial rack equipment. No pigtail adapters, no NEMA-to-IEC converters — every device with a standard IEC power cord plugs straight in, and any UPS with an IEC output whip connects directly to the input.
• 1U × 9.67-inch Depth: The unit fits a standard 19-inch EIA rack in a single U, but the 9.67-inch depth is worth checking against your cabinet's usable depth — particularly relevant in 12-inch or 16-inch shallow-depth wall enclosures common in small-room AV/security installs.

Deployment Considerations:

• No surge protection is built in — this is intentional for rack environments where a UPS with integrated suppression is upstream. Don't treat the missing MOV as a deficiency; it's the right call when you own the protection at the UPS layer and don't want cascading fault masking.
• The 9-foot (2.7 m) cord is generous for tall racks but coil-manage the excess carefully in enclosed cabinets — a loose 2.7 m cord in a 12U wall enclosure creates airflow and cable management problems fast.

The RLNK-910R-IEC-NS is the right spec for international government or commercial surveillance rack deployments — specifically builds where CE compliance is a contract deliverable, the upstream UPS already handles surge suppression, and you need a straightforward 1U IEC strip without paying for switching or monitoring you won't use.
