Middle Atlantic PD-715SC-NS Slim Vertical Rack Power Strip

Overview

The Middle Atlantic PD-715SC-NS is a seven-outlet vertical rack power strip from the PD Slim High Density series, built for integrators who need clean, reliable AC distribution in space-constrained rack bays. At just 1.46 inches wide and 13.6 inches tall, it fits in the 1U or less of dead space alongside panels, switches, and NVRs without commandeering a full rack unit of usable depth. If you've ever burned a full 1U horizontal PDU on a half-populated security rack and regretted it, this is the form factor that fixes that.

The PD-715SC-NS handles up to 15A at 120 VAC — enough to power a mid-density camera recorder, a managed PoE switch, and supporting gear simultaneously — delivered through seven individually accessible NEMA 5-15 outlets oriented vertically along the strip. The 10-foot (3-meter) power cord gives you enough reach from a standard floor-level outlet or UPS output to a full-height rack without extension cord workarounds. For a deeper look at the full Middle Atlantic power and rack catalog, this strip sits within a broader line of purpose-built rack infrastructure.

Key Features

Seven NEMA 5-15 Outlets: Seven individually accessible outlets means you can power a full row of security devices — NVR, managed switch, access control panel, modem, and ancillary gear — without daisy-chaining or compromising on plug spacing. NEMA 5-15 is the standard 15A North American plug format, so compatibility with off-the-shelf device power supplies is a non-issue.

15A Max Input Current at 120 VAC: A 15A circuit is the standard building wiring home run in most commercial installations. The PD-715SC-NS is rated to draw the full circuit capacity, giving you the headroom to load all seven outlets without tripping the breaker — provided the connected loads don't exceed 1,800W total, which is typical for a security or AV rack rather than a compute-dense server cabinet.
